The brief
To reach Shivanasamudra, Karnataka: By Air: Mysuru airport has limited flights; Bengaluru's Kempegowda International is the main gateway, roughly a 3 to 3.5 hour drive. By Rail: Mysuru and Maddur are the nearest well-connected railheads; the falls are reached by road from either. By Road: About 80 km from Mysuru via Malavalli; Gaganachukki and Bharachukki have separate access roads on either side of the island. By Private Fleet: MTMT runs chauffeured day trips from Mysuru or Bengaluru, combining the falls with Somanathapura and a heritage lunch.
