Godchinamalaki Falls
The Godachinmalki Falls are located in the Belguam district of Karnataka India. Situated in a rugged valley these charming falls first take a dipof about 25 mts and flow into a rocky pool from which they take another plunge of about 18 mts. This magical natural spot with blue green waters surrounded by forests require a little walk before it can be reachedbut is well worth the effort.
It is 16 kilometers away from Gokak a nearby town. It is located in a deep green valley on the west side of Konnur Road.
The Godachinmalki falls also known as Markandeya falls is located in a rugged valley which is approachable from Godachinmalki village by walking through an irregular forest route for about 2.5 kilometers. It can also be reached from Nirvaneshwara Matha near Yogikolla only by foot. Another route is from Pachapur via Mawanur which is about 6 kilometers.
There are actually two falls formed here. The Markandeya river takes a first fall from a height of about 25 metres and flows into a rocky valley. After a short distance from the rocky valley it takes the second fall from a height of about 18 metres. Later Markandeya river joins Ghataprabha river near Ghodgeri.
