Travel and Picnic Spot Near Bangalore

All tour is about Waterfall and Forest

I was planning to roam around Bangalore for Waterfall and scenery being a stranger to the geography of the area, it was very difficult to find and decide for a trip where there are multiple places are in mind so after researching came up with idea to collocate the known places all in one map. 

I used Google Maps for collating all the places. If Google Map has more option to add route then hopefully i would be able to add more location. Initially It was very difficult to understand the geographic situation of the waterfall at once, where to visit first.


From Electronic city as Starting point, Muthyalamaduvu is the first place to visit and then list continues to add.

Below is the collated MAP for all the places that i am aware of and various options had been added. Suggestions are always welcome.

Resource Type : Forest + Fall (medium)

Pearl Valley (Muthyala maduvu)

A small checkdam constructed here across Kaveri has made this an excellent pinic rendezvous. In late winter and summer, shallow water running on the dam platform and the falling water attracts people in plenty. It is fun to sit under the fall and let the falling water give a massage your back. Good time to visit is winter season
