There is a nice boat ride that is offered along the river, that goes very close to the islets and lets you observe the birds.

Ranganathithu Bird Sanctuary
Happy new year! I'm starting off the year with a series of posts about my recent trip to Ranganathithu Bird Sanctuary. The sanctuary is about a 2 hr drive from Bangalore and consists of a group of small islands that were formed when a dam was built on the river Cauvery. It was first identified as a bird sanctuary by the renowned ornithologist Salim Ali, who persuaded the Wodeyar kings to declare it such.

Happy New Year to you!
Have been meaning to visit the Ranganathithu sanctuary for sometime now. Your pictures are very inviting. And had no idea that Salim Ali was behind its formation. Maybe I will actually make the effort to go there this year.
I'd love to be there right now:)
