 
Rock Climbing
Ramnagaram, 50 km from Bangalore on the Bangalore-Mysore
highway, is considered as the Mecca of rock climbing. The
place abounds in rock formations, that are a climber's delight.
Even those who have no exposure to rock climbing, can learn
it on the artificial wall set up at the State Youth Centre
in Bangalore, and then set off on trekking expeditions under
expert care and guidance.
Water Sports
Tucked away amidst the lush greenery of the
Western Ghats, along the Sharavathy backwaters, is Honnemardu
- a haven for aqua adventure enthusiasts. Lovers of water
sports throng this idyllic spot for coracle rafting, canoeing
and windsurfing. Numerous islands dotting the backwaters make
it an ideal island camping site, too.
Trekking
If trekking is your cup of tea, over 200 trails
have been explored and marked in the Western Ghats, for trekking
and nature trails.
River Rafting
and Angling
The azure waters of the river Cauvery, are
ideal for river rafting. 82 km from Mysore is the Cauvery
Fishing Camp, at Bhimeshwari. It is a paradise for anglers,
with mahseers found in abundance. This place is also accessible
from Bangalore (100 km).
