MY BELGAUM

My Belgaum: Located in the Northern part of the state of Karnataka. This is where I’ve spent 4 yrs of my life for doing Engineering. This place has given me lot of support, courage and life. Is known for its large no of industries, borders the states of Maharashtra and Goa.

Places that I've been:

Belgaum Dist. - A city of industries located on the border of the state of Karnataka which is an Urban area but when you walk the streets of the city you feel the history of this place, the old buildings - Belgaum fort gives the warmth of it.

Gokak falls - 62km from Belgaum and 6km from the Gokak town. Is approximately 25km from my collage which is near to the Bangalore - Pune national highway, passing from Belgaum to Kolhapur (Maharashtra). These are on the Ghataprabha river over a sandstone cliff and is an Awesome place to be. Beside the falls you find the Gokak cloth mills.

Hidkal Dam - Was constructed in the year 1977 on the river Ghataprabha. Is really a very nice place to be with resorts on the hill beside the dam. Cool water and is a picnic spot when you go in the rain season with slight drizzling.

More in the District:

1. Jamboti, 20 km south-west of Belgaum, is a popular tourist spot with its evergreen hilltop forests.
2. Vajrapoha Falls On the Mandovi river are located 26 km from Belgaum.
3. Godchanmalki falls - is a popular destination at a distance of about 60 km from Belgaum. They are stepwise falls which are approximately 100 metres in length, with a step at every 30 metres.
4. Amboli falls - This little known coastal highland area is fabulous during the monsoons. Thick forests, curving misty ghats and shades of vibrant greens.
