Honnemaradu means a Golden Lake. It has derived its name from the Honne tree. It's a tourist place located on the backwaters of River Sharavati, which is in Karnataka. It is a place for adventure activities as well as it's a perfect place for nature lovers who want a break from city life. One can sit beside a lake and admire the divinity of nature while watching the birds and butterflies.
It's a great place for camping, trekking expeditions, boating and kayaking although swimming is not allowed here. It's not a conventional tourist place where one goes to check out some 'tourist attractions' of the place but a place where one comes for adventure. Hence, there isn't much to see.
