Most of you have trekked in our evergreen route Basavana baayi -->Belligundi Falls --> Goodana gundi falls. And most of u have liked the belligundi falls a lot. In this route we have just seen beauti of this falls from far in belligundi view point enroute to Goodananagundi falls. The view point is amazing as you have seen it and now it is time to see this falls from the just top of the falls and if everyone is able to trek we can even go to the bottom of the falls too.!!.
We are planning to trek along with Belligundi stream from KAARNI. Enroute to the main Belligundi water falls, we can come accross many mini water falls.
The Sharavathi Valley:- The Sharavathi river valley nestled in the central Western Ghats, Shimoga district has been an ecological paradise. The Sharavathi River, rising at Ambuthirtha in Thirthahalli taluk flows north-west and drops down in the Ghats at the world famous Jog falls. The sharavathi Valley is home for many water falls and to some of the beautiful streams. The valley is evergreen to semi-evergreen forest along with moist deciduous type of forests dominate the entire basin along with scrub savannah, grasslands, marshy areas and plantation of acacia, cash crops like areca and rubber providing diverse niches for a variety of taxa. Rare evergreen species such as Dipterocarpus, Syzygium, Cinnamon, Diospyros, Aglaia, endemic Palms along with the globally endangered Myrist-icasps makes this an ecologically sensitive region to be conserved and not marketed.
