Kanva Reservoir

AMAZING PLACE. The approach from Ramanagara really sucks - at least the road we took (marked as Kanva Reservoir Road on Google Maps, there are alternatives though). The main entrance point doesn't offer you much besides a bustling fish market - no place to walk around and take pictures either. We were just about to head back to Bangalore really disappointed, when we found an alternative entrance point to the north of the reservoir, which allows you to walk on the dam, access some neat view...

This place seems like heaven when you visit it at the right time.. The best time to visit here is rainy season! Away from the city traffic (while driving from Bnglre), you get to drive on silent tracks where you will see peahens flying across the roads. I visited this place twice and luckily both the times it rained and the view was amazing. The entire reservoir has these trees submerged in it with a little of each tree still afloat. I could see ducks swimming in the water and a few birds...

We basically followed the Google maps , so it is like around 60 km from HSR Layout. Road is good the last few meter stretch is a little off road. So basically when we reached there as per google maps. We landed to a private property as per a local person and that person is charging around 200 per person just to visit that place and 300 per person if you want to do boating. The destination is reachable through bike only , I don’t see any other way for cars there. You can spend half an hour...
