You can also hop onto a bamboo raft and go down the calm river Kapila, admiring the scenic beauty around you. This small village in Karnataka brings gushing waterfalls in the monsoon season.

Being in the middle of areca nut and cashew nut plantations is a veritable feast for the senses. The bright green of the foliage, the sweet fragrance of the flowers, and the soft rustle of the leaves in the breeze combine to create an atmosphere of peace and serenity. It is easy to forget that an outside world exists when surrounded by such natural beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kukke Subramanya and Dharmasthala are famous temples surrounding the village. But a notable among them is a 700-year-old Shishila temple. Pilgrims come here to feed holy fish dedicated to the Hindu god Vishnu. Visitors to the temple can buy puffed rice and feed them to thousands of fish and watch a school of fish (some of them are 3-4 feet long) swallow every morsel floating in the river within a few seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Fish feeding at Shishila Temple in Arasinamakki in Karnataka, India.\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/y-jjOdYlCKk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How to reach:<\/strong> You can either opt to drive to Arasinamakki through mesmerizing Charmadi Ghat or take a <a href=\"https:\/\/turuhi.com\/story\/mesmerizing-western-ghats-from-vistadome-coach\"><strong>train with Vistadome coach<\/strong><\/a> from Bangalore to Subramanya Road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Where to stay:<\/strong> The best option is to stay in <a href=\"https:\/\/tripadvisor.tp.st\/oRySAqTg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Stream of Joy<\/a> homestay.

The temple is accessible only by trekking through the knee-deep Bhavanshini river. The trek is considered to be very holy and is believed to bring blessings from the deity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-turuhi wp-block-embed-turuhi\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"G0JtVxbcXN\"><a href=\"https:\/\/turuhi.com\/resources\/things-to-know-about-ahobilam-temple\/\">Things to know about Ahobilam Temple<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Things to know about Ahobilam Temple&#8221; &#8212; Turuhi\" src=\"https:\/\/turuhi.com\/resources\/things-to-know-about-ahobilam-temple\/embed\/#?secret=QHJXbik8Z2#?secret=G0JtVxbcXN\" data-secret=\"G0JtVxbcXN\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ahobilam waterfall is one of the most scenic spots en route to Jwala Narasimha Swamy temple, and it comes alive only during the monsoon season.
