About Mekedatu One-Day Trip :
Mekedatu is located along Kaveri on the border of the Chamarajanagar and Ramanagara Districts. From this point, about 3.5 kilometres downstream, the river Kaveri flows through a deep and narrow gorge. Mekedatu Sangama is the confluence of two rivers Arkavathi and Kaveri. It's around 2 hours’ drive from Bangalore. Arkavathi will be just a small stream for most of the year and will have some water during the monsoons. Mekedatu means 'goat's leap' in Kannada. At Mekedatu Falls, the Kaveri runs through a deep, narrow ravine of hard granite rock. The river, which is more than 150 meters wide at the confluence (at Sangama), flows through the hardly 10-meter-wide gorge at Mekedatu. At Mekedatu Sangama, the Kaveri River is more than 150 meters wide at the confluence and flows through a narrow 5-10 meter gorge at Mekedatu. Legend has it that the channel was so narrow that sheep would jump across, hence the name Mekedatu (Meke = sheep, Datu = cross in Kannada). Chunchi Falls is an almost 50-foot-high cascade of falls that is fed by the river Arkavati. Chunchi Falls lies en route to Mekedatu and Sangama.
