Chamarajanagar, on the banks of the Cuvery River is a treasure trove of religious and cultural legacy.

Abounding in natural beauty, the revered temples of BR Hills, the wildlife reserves like the Bandipur Wildlife Sanctuary and Biligirirangana Hills Wildlife Sanctuary, Kaveri Fishing Camp and stately Mahadeswara hills are definitely worth visiting.
