of damming the Sharavathi river way back in 1965. The reservoir is also known as Honnemardu after the village. In the middle of this huge water body there is a small island that attracts the campers, in addition to the various adventure activities.

ShoppingHonnemardu is an adventure destination so there is absolutely no scope for shopping here.

ActivitiesAdventure is what you come to Honnemardu and adventure is what you get! Ride on a Coracle, a traditional circular boat made of bamboo and buffalo hide that looks rather clumsy but is in fact very stable, across the lake to the small island. Explore the island and stay at the dome tents. It is a

wonderful experience to lie under the starlit sky and hear the soft lapping sound of the small waves. Honnermadu- a lake with an island is the best tourist spot and is well known for its water sports- kayaking, boating and swimming. Apart from a destination for adventure buffs it is also a bird watcher"s paradise with a large variety of different species of birds and butterflies.
