Talakadu is a nice place for a weekend getaway from Bangalore. It is on the banks of the glorious Cauvery river and the river bed is completely sand. It is like a fresh water beach. Really nice place to spend a whole day. It is just off Maddur and can be reached via Mysore road from Bangalore. As an added attraction, there are a few very old temples, including one of quot;Vaidyanatheshwaraquot; (the Shiva of Medicine).
I went there with my friends, and was amazing fun. I have a some pictures from Talakadu put up in the gallery section.
