Muthathi, surrounded by forests that is part of the Cauvery Wildlife sanctuary, with the Cauvery river flowing through it, is an amazing setting for wildlife and nature lovers.
Having declared the forest as Cauvery wildlife sanctuary, the officials at the forest department check-post are on constant alert & do a thorough check of your vehicle. This is to ensure that visitors are not carrying banned substances like liquor, plastic, poaching equipments, etc. Their recent efforts to not allow domestic livestock for grazing has become a bone of contention between them and the villagers.
The best way to access the forest is through Bangalore-Kanakapura Highway. Take a left at Sathanuru and once you reach the village, continue further on the same road towards the forest. Since the river and the forest area is associated with Sita and Hanuman, it also is a place of religious significance and draws huge crowds.
The village acts as a transit point and a stopover for folks that have religious obligation and/or wanting to sacrifice animals. During certain occasions, you will find truckload of pigs, sheep, goats and chicken being sacrificed, turning this non-descript village into a hot-bed of ritualistic and occult activities.
The forest itself is quite amazing and the best time is to visit is during early morning. The look and feel of the forest changes with the seasons. It is quite an enthralling experience to see wild trees like "Flame of the Forrest" bloom & the different hues of the trees leafs and topography during summer months. While the trees and shrubs wear a withered brownish-green look during winters, the forest wears a green canopy during the rainy seasons.
