Muthathi

Muthathi is a settlement situtated on the banks of the river Kaveri near Malavalli, Karnataka, India.

Muthathi is 100Kms from Bangalore.The route is as follows : Bangalore>kanakapura road>Sathanur>Muthathi Anjaneya Swami temple>Muthathi village.

Muthathi is associated with Hindu diety Lord Hanuman called here as Hanumantharaya and Goddess Sita devi .River Kaveri flows along this area, Muthathi is coverd with dense and lush green forests,and comes under the Kaveri Wildlife Sanctuary.You will be excited to see yourself driving in the middle of the forest.

Muthathi is also a good place for Bird Watching.

Swimming at kaveri river is dangerous,its because of whirlpools and strong currents.

Preferred transportation to this place is one's own vehicle or a taxi,its beacuse the bus service to this place is not very regular.

Here is how our day trip to Muthathi went

We reached Muthathi and visted the temple of Lord Hanuman. The view from temple premises is beautiful,we found a small trace of water falls from temple premises.As the temple is in the middle of the forest and there were plenty of trees around the temple,we saw monkeys and aslo a Rufous treepie.

Then we headed back to Muthathi village. To our surprise the place was  totally flooded. people came there in lorry and cars. And the entrance where we find the river was not so clean it is filled totally with feathers of birds,legs,hands and head of goats, yaaaaaak its totally horrible. We went  a bit further to see a clean spot and after our 15min travel we found totally a good place and it was very clean,calm,and beautiful,and importantly nobody was there.

We settled there with all our packages and enjoyed Swimming, birding .We spotted few water birds, bees, butterflies,Wagtails,Cormorants, big fish ,Asian Paradise flycatchers, Orioles, Leaf birds,Monkeys,White cheeked BulBuls ,and more.

We had packed our food from home and enjoyed having lunch beside the river bed.There are no hotels here.

Apart from cleanliness in the entrance of the village everything is nice here.You will feel yourself totally recharged in the middle of the lush green forest everywhere, a calm sky and serene water all around with the calls of birds makes this place even more beautiful.

I captured the calmness of nature in my Cam.
