The Godachinmalki Falls is a waterfall located on Markandeya river in Belgaum district, Karnataka, India. It is 16 kilometers away from Gokak and 40 kilometers from Belgaum. It is located on the west side of Konnur Road.
Godachinmalki falls, also known as Markandeya falls, is located in a rugged valley, which is approachable from Godachinamalaki 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
Pachhapur via Mawanur, which is about 6 kilometers. Presently this water
fall is not easily accessible.
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.
Within a 6 km radius there two dams; one built across Ghataprabha
river (Hidkal dam) and another one across Markandeya river. The best
time to visit these places is from June to September.
