About the Experience
A Journey Through Time and Nature
There’s something profoundly peaceful about the slow rhythm of a bullock cart moving through the countryside. At ChukkiMane, the Bullock Cart Safari is more than a ride — it’s an authentic journey through the landscapes, lifestyles, and legacy of rural Karnataka.
This hour-long safari takes guests on a 6 km trail that winds through lush farms, open fields, village roads, and riverfront views near the majestic Shivanasamudra. Pulled by strong native bulls and guided by our local caretakers, this experience celebrates the simplicity and harmony of village life.
Each moment offers something new — from the fragrance of freshly ploughed soil to the laughter of children in the fields, from spotting birds perched on fences to glimpses of traditional agricultural practices still alive today.
