I got chance to visit Somnathpura / Kesava temple near Srirangapatnam - Bangalore.
Somnathpura is third of the 3 great Hoysala architecture temples, the other 2 being Belur and Halebid. Though Belur and Halebid are touted as international tourist destinations close to Hassan, west from Bangalore.
I went through K.S.T.D.C tour conducted by karnataka govt. It will take 400-500 Rs for day tour.

Go for below tour Shivanasamudra, Somnathpur, Ranganathittu
Shivanasamudra is second highest waterfall after jog falls.
Ranganathittu the Bird Sanctuary located on the lush green islands of the river Cauvery, close to Mysore. I been there 2 times but due to high water in Cauvery , we were not allowed to go in river via boat. In that river there are many crocodiles are there and I missed chance to see that.
Do not worry forest guide will only take you in boat. Do not miss that........
