Belgaum Beauty

Who would have thought there was so much to Belgaum than just kunda. A colleague at work shared the following data about Belgaum. I am so impressed with these facts and pictures... that I decided to share it. Specially when i have travel-o-freaky friends on the blogosphere... I am sure someone will benefit :P

Gokak Falls - The Gokak falls can be accessed from Gokak (8 Kms) which is an hour journey from Belgaum.


Hanging Bridge - Walking on the Hanging Bridge and listening the gushing sound of the waterfall are the wonders of the Visit.


There's also a Hanging Bridge that runs across the fall, which was also built in 1887, runs strong, but the visitors are advised not to take it. The Bridge is reserved for Mill employees only, but normal visitors out there don't care for the notice and take a trip on the bridge on their own risk.

There's also a small temple of Lord Shiva on the banks of the falls.
Belgaum Fort Lake - called as KOTEKERE....Beautiful Boating spot...During Night Times
