Mekedatu

Mekedatu is a lovely confluence of Cauvery river and Arkavati river, forming a narrow ravine, which is the part of the stunning landscape. This place is mainly known for Mekedatu waterfall and surrounding natural beauty. Just park your vehicle and cross the gentle river on foot but not during monsoons. At one point, the ravine gets so narrow that it is believed a goat jumped over to the opposite side. Since then, this place is called Mekedatu, which means "goat's leap" in Kannada. It is famous picnic spot in Bangalore.
