The year 2020 was quite disturbing to all . The pandemic situation brought lot of changes and a different kind of fear in the social life. After the 1st lockdown opened, we were looking for a good , no crowded place to visit and relax the mind. And we decided to visit kanakumbi location along with my other close friend family . From Belagavi , its just a 50 km ride. You can drive deeply into the chilled Western ghats forest and sure will enjoy the nature. Once you reach Kanakumbi village, just a take a left turn and can take the guidance from the local people for the navigation. After a 10-15 minutes drive you are now in the heaven. The mist welcome you to the beauty of the falls. Just Enjoy the nature now. Direction- Google Map
