Finally we reached our destination holebailu OR Sigandur Back water where we took some snaps, it's a late evening 7:00 PM we traveled in a boat towards Sigandur then reached Tumari. These boats are facilitated to devotees of Sigandur temple and local people, we crossed sigandur and reached Tumari. We inquired for lodges near Tumari and found Bhattara mane at Bedara Koppa.

Bedara Koppa is a interior village where few houses we can see. Bedara Koppa is 2 km away from Tumari, we stayed at Bedara Koppa Bhattara Mane one of the best hospitality seen at remote places, we tasted typical malnad food, Sambar, Chutney and homemade pickles, it was our best journey towards Shimoga belt.

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.
