Detailed Overview

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.  At Sangama, Kaveri River is more than 150 meters wide at the confluence and flows through a narrow 5-10 meter gorge at Mekedatu. Mekedatu means goat's leap in Kannada. Legend has it that the channel was so narrow that sheep would jump across, and hence the name Mekedatu(Meke = sheep, Datu = cross in Kannada). Chunchi falls, is an almost 50 feet high cascade of falls, which is fed by the river Arkavati. Chunchi Falls lies en route to Mekedatu and Sangama.
