Savehaklu Reservoir, Nagara, Hosanagara taluk, Shimoga, Karnataka

After visiting the Chakra dam we had been to Savehaklu reservoir which is 6 KM away from Chakra dam, savehaklu dam comes first on the way traveling from nagara, as this dam also a water source for Linganamakki Dam. Heavy Monsoon flow gives abundant life to the reservoir and the nature. here also vehicle numbers are noted due to security reasons, intermittent rain created the artistic patterns on walls and the concrete roads. As usual we took some best shots and moved towards kavaledurga fort which comes in Theerthalli Taluk of Shimoga which is near to Kimmane, we hope to have the clicks of Kavaledurga fort but it was evening around 5:00 PM no chance for us to climb the kavaledurga hill.

Most possible route

After visiting the nagara Shivappa nayaka fort, we have been to chakra reservoir, which is one of the water source for linganamakki dam, River sharavathi is the mother for this belt, we have spoken to the security and they shared that many of the regional film's were shooting regularly, securities are friendly :-) unfortunately they don't have better shelter at least to secure from rain ! visiting vehicle numbers will be noted to control illegal activities, there are wild animals in these reservoirs area, we have seen one dead cow attacked by leopard, from chakra dam we can see kodachadri hills in summer season. Complete area looks as no mans land, mixture of greenery and wonderful landscapes completed the camera buffet. We moved towards savehaklu dam.

Possible traveling Route

Linganamakki Dam, (ಲಿಂಗನಮಕ್ಕಿ ಅಣೆಕಟ್ಟು), Sagara taluk, Shimoga, Karnataka

ಲಿಂಗನಮಕ್ಕಿ ಅಣೆಕಟ್ಟು
After visiting the Jog Falls we moved towards Linganamakki Dam  which is 7 KM away from jog falls, we didn't get a chance to visit inside the dam due to heavy rain. This dam receives water mainly from rainfall and also from the Chakra and Savahaklu reservoirs, once you came out from Jog Falls you will see a road on the right side towards Kargal from this road you need to travel 7 KM to reach Linganamakki Dam. Abundant greenery drizzling rain tends us to take snaps in a very quick time. Here is some snaps of Linganamakki Dam.
Just after the linganamakki dam back side there is a beautiful Chowdeshwari temple located in Joga nature and it reminds the perfect match of nature and god.
