Shri Kalakaleshwara Swamy Temple

Hindu temple
Sights & Landmarks
Sacred & Religious Sites
This holy place is peaceful & quiet. A good temple to visit in Gajendragad. There are few steps to reach the temple from base. After hardly 10 mins of climb you will reach the temple. There are few stalls on the way. Locals workship the deity & has a strong belief.
Ameet S — Google review
A sacred and serene place located atop a beautiful hill in Gajendragad, offering a peaceful atmosphere for prayer and meditation. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and is surrounded by breathtaking panoramic views of the town and hills. The climb is rewarding, with cool breezes and a divine vibe that instantly calms the mind. The architecture is simple yet spiritually powerful, and the temple premises are well-kept. A must-visit for devotees and travelers seeking both spiritual energy and natural beauty.

A very divine and good vibe place. Rush will be there on Full Moon days. U have to climb around 300-500 steps. Not adviced for ppl above 60 yrs.
Dr C — Google review
A little-known pilgrimage site in North Karnataka, Kalakaleshwar is nestled in the Gajendragarh hills. Its two eye-catching lampposts welcome devotees with awe. The temple of Shiva, worshipped in the form of Kalakaleshwar, is called Dakshina Kashi. There are about 60 steps to reach the temple. The temple has a Udbhava linga. The Antara Gange, an evergreen water resource, flows from a height of about 16 feet in the outer enclosure of the temple exit and continuously falls into the pond throughout the year along the roots of the Arali tree.
Arjun K — Google review
A truly peaceful and spiritually powerful temple perched atop a hill in Gajendragad. The climb is about 200 steps but quite manageable, with great views along the way. The main deity is a self-manifested (Udbhava) Shiva Linga, and the temple has a calm, positive atmosphere. One of the most unique aspects is the mystical legend associated with Ugadi—where the inner sanctum gets “painted” overnight without anyone entering. There’s also a sacred spring called Anthara Gange, which flows year-round from under a Peepal tree—an amazing sight. The temple is simple, clean, and ideal for quiet reflection. It gets crowded during festivals like Mahashivaratri and on full moon days, so plan accordingly.

Twin Tower Temple

Sculpture
Sights & Landmarks
Nestled in the quaint village of Sudi, approximately 30 kilometers from Badami, lies the remarkable Twin Tower Temple. This stunning structure is a testament to the architectural brilliance of the Chalukya dynasty and stands as a significant remnant from that era. Although it is an ASI-protected monument, it often serves as a shelter for locals rather than being fully appreciated by visitors.
You can access it via the school playground. Great architectural piece but left to rot.
Srinivasan S — Google review
There are three temples in Sudi village but one can make out the sheer negligence accorded towards maintenance of the temples by the Archeological Survey of India. The present one is one of the three temples that represents the negligence by ASI. These could be a great treasure in attracting hundreds of tourists every season if necessary development actions initiated at the earliest. I request the local authorities to initiate an action of communication with the concerned authorities to develop the site for tourism. Sudi is on the way to Itagi while traveling from Gajendragad. Itagi is a famous place for shri Bheemambika temple.

Very good looking temple.. It's 962 years old nd there s none of God statue.. But i m wondering for tat y ASI(Archeological survey of india) s haven't put eyed on this beautiful temple.. Even dont have one single information board from ASI nd some people r using this temple for bad activities.. Please any 1 from ASI or History professor have the look one's on this temple ASAP, I too do as much I can possible

Sudi is a village around 30km from Badami. Very few people go there but it does house remnants of the Chalukya period. The most famous of these is the twin tower temple complex that is visible from the road itself. Even though it is an ASI protected monument but the temple is mostly used by the locals for shelter needs. The temple is beautiful to look at and is a Shiva temple. There is also a rock tablet inside where some markings are written in an ancient language. The Sudi village also has some other small ancient ruins but those are inside the main village and one has to go on foot to reach them. Since we were short of time, so we skipped going inside the village. However I'll recommend this temple complex to anyone visiting Badami.

Jodu Kalasa Temple (Twin towers temple) has two garbha grihas facing each other with a common Nandi mandapa in the centre. Built in the 11th century by a general Nagadeva of Chalukyan king Someshwara II(1068-76), the western shrine houses a linga & the eastern has no idol. A carved Nandi facing the Linga is in the common mandapa shared by both the temples.

Shree Shakambhari Shakti Peetham, Shree Kshetra Banashankari, Cholachagudda, Badami SBDTCSHAKAMBHARI

Hindu temple
Sights & Landmarks
Sacred & Religious Sites
Functioning Hindu temple & shrine from 603 AD with regular prayers & 3 annual festivals.
I recently visited the Banashankari Temple near Badami, and it was truly a divine and peaceful experience. The temple, dedicated to Goddess Banashankari (a form of Goddess Parvati), has a unique charm with its ancient Dravidian-style architecture and beautifully carved stone structures. The temple’s square water tank (Kalyani) with corridors on all four sides is one of its main highlights, it creates a serene reflection of the temple tower, especially during sunrise or sunset. The surroundings are calm, and the air feels deeply spiritual. The main sanctum is simple yet powerful, with the deity beautifully adorned. The place has a strong historic and cultural connection to the Chalukya period, and you can feel the centuries-old energy in its stones and carvings.
Nayan D — Google review
Shri Shakambhari Shakti Peetham Shree Kshetra Banashankari is a must-visit temple near Badami, known for its spiritual significance and serene atmosphere. Located on the outskirts of Badami town, this temple is dedicated to Goddess Banashankari, an incarnation of Goddess Durga, and holds great religious importance. No trip to Badami is complete without seeking blessings here. When we visited, it was just a day before the grand annual Banashankari Jatre, a major festival celebrated with great enthusiasm. The temple was quite crowded, and we had to stand in the queue for about 45 minutes. However, the darshan was well-organized, and we were able to see the devi in close proximity, walking from left to right with ample time to pray and seek blessings. One of the highlights of the temple is the beautifully maintained kalyani (temple pond) in front of the temple. The surrounding area is clean, and there is sufficient car parking space near the temple tank, making it convenient for devotees. Despite the crowd, the overall experience was peaceful and spiritually enriching. The temple has a powerful aura, and visiting this sacred place fills one with a deep sense of devotion. I highly recommend visiting Shri Shakambhari Shakti Peetham Shree Kshetra Banashankari to experience the divine presence and rich cultural heritage.
Varun K — Google review
Shri Kshetra Banashankari is a blend of spirituality, history, and architectural elegance. Perfect for devotees and history lovers alike, it offers a peaceful sanctuary away from tourist crowds—especially rewarding during its grand festival season. Highly recommended as a heartfelt stop on your Badami itinerary.
Dream L — Google review
Shri Shakambari Peetham (Banashankari) near Badami is a beautiful and historic temple dedicated to Goddess Banashankari, an incarnation of Parvati. It is easily accessible from Badami town, about 5 km away. Mornings are peaceful for poojas, and the annual Banashankari Jatre festival in January/February is especially vibrant. As of September 2025, the temple entrance is undergoing renovation, so expect some construction activity and possible restricted access. Dress modestly, carry cash for offerings and local vendors, and be mindful of pushy street vendors around the temple. Photography inside the sanctum is not allowed. Combining this visit with Badami’s famous cave temples makes for a rich cultural experience. Highly recommended for devotees and heritage seekers alike!

Nature & Parks
Historical place
The Badami Cave Temples, located in the town of Badami in Karnataka, India, are a set of Hindu cave temples dating back to the 6th century A.D. These temples showcase impressive rock-cut architecture and feature statues carved directly from the surrounding rock. The town of Badami is also known for its ancient cave temples and served as the capital of the Chalukya Empire.
The ancient cave temples, majestic fort, and tranquil Agastya Lake offered a perfect blend of history, spirituality, and natural beauty. Walking through centuries-old carvings and gazing over the lake was truly peaceful. Highly recommended for anyone who loves heritage and quiet reflection. The caves are very well preserved and reflect the rich culture. Must visit place. Spend your evening at the Agastya lake. Very calming and beautiful sunset.

The Badami Cave Temples are a true architectural marvel and a window into India’s ancient history. Carved into red sandstone cliffs, each cave tells a story through stunning sculptures, intricate carvings, and peaceful spiritual vibes. Dedicated to Hindu deities like Shiva and Vishnu, as well as Jain figures, the site perfectly reflects the harmony of diverse faiths from the 6th century. The view from the caves is breathtaking-overlooking Agastya Lake and the majestic fort hills around it. As you climb from one cave to another, the artistry seems to get even more impressive. The highlight is the magnificent statue of Nataraja in Cave 1 and the beautiful Vishnu avatars in Cave 2 and 3. The atmosphere is calm, clean, and great for photography and learning about history. You may need to climb a bit, so comfortable footwear is recommended. Local guides are very helpful if you want to understand the stories behind the carvings. Overall, Badami Cave Temples are a must-visit heritage destination in Karnataka perfect for history lovers, architecture enthusiasts, and anyone who enjoys exploring India’s rich cultural past. Truly a place where nature, art, and devotion come together!

Beautiful architecture that makes you so proud to know the legacy of this nation and is history. We took a female guide - Munira ( can't remember her name) who explained everything really well. The most amazing nugget is how everything has been carved from one rock. Even the ceilings have intricate and mesmerizing sculptures/carvings...all done with a simple hammer and chisel. It was humbling and a matter of pride. I do hope the government takes steps to both preserve the monuments and to get the world heritage tag. The surrounding area is peaceful. Just keep a lookout for the monkeys - they won't do anything unless you happen to have food packets with you. The guides will give you a full tour of all 4 caves. There's a fair bit of climbing and some of the steps near the 3rd cave are steep. But do try not to miss the 3rd cave as the carvings are utterly breathtaking

One of the best monuments I have visited in my life... Very fine encarvings in the caves and all the sculpture represent a unique story in itself and it tells us our ancient history and culture. The scenery around the Agastya lake and bhutnath temple is so much beautiful and it gives a calmness and serenity in your busy life. The caves are really beautiful and I felt really great that I witnessed the beauty of nature and human artisanship at one place I loved the Badami Cabe temples and the complex surrounding

Shubham M — Google review
The Badami Cave Temples are an architectural and historical marvel — a must-visit destination for anyone fascinated by ancient Indian art, culture, and history. Situated in Karnataka’s Bagalkot district, these magnificent rock-cut temples date back to the 6th and 7th centuries during the reign of the Chalukya dynasty and stand as a testament to the brilliance of early Indian rock architecture. Carved into striking red sandstone cliffs overlooking Agastya Lake, the complex consists of four main caves, each distinct in its design, deities, and intricate carvings. Cave 1 is dedicated to Lord Shiva and features breathtaking sculptures, including a magnificent 18-armed Nataraja. Caves 2 and 3, devoted to Lord Vishnu, showcase exquisite depictions of his various forms such as Trivikrama and Narasimha — among the finest carvings in South India. Cave 4, dedicated to the Jain Tirthankaras, represents the later phase of Badami’s artistic evolution. The craftsmanship, precision, and storytelling reflected in every wall and pillar are extraordinary. The panoramic view from the caves — overlooking the serene lake and rugged terrain — is simply mesmerizing and makes the climb well worth it. The site is well maintained, though visitors should be ready for some walking and stair climbing. It’s best to visit early in the morning or late afternoon to avoid the midday heat. Basic facilities like parking and rest areas are also available nearby.

The gopuram is ornately decorated with multiple tiers of intricate carvings, which include mythological figures, deities, and ornamental designs. At the top of the gopuram, a flag or banner is hoisted, indicating an active temple where rituals and ceremonies are conducted. In the center of the entrance, there is a prominent symbol associated with the deity worshiped within the temple, possibly Vishnu, as indicated by the “U” symbol, which is part of the Vaishnavism sect. The sign below the gopuram entrance has Kannada text, suggesting that the temple is located in Karnataka. In front of the temple, there are several parked vehicles, including motorcycles and cars, indicating that the temple is in an urban or accessible area. The colorful structure on the left side is likely a chariot or palanquin used during festivals to carry the deity in procession around the temple. The atmosphere is lively, with visitors and devotees seen in the vicinity, signifying an active and revered place of worship.

This is a famous temple. Roads leading to this place are quite narrow and you may have to drive very slowly. There is a chariot in front of the temple.

Over 900 yrs old temple of Shri Veeranarayana Swamy here in Gadag city. This temple is historically significant as it is one of the five important Vishnu temples in Karnataka built by the same king. Historic Kannada poet Kumaravyasa translated Mahabharata into Kannada language here only (Karnata-Bharata). As the city of Gadag swelled around this historic temple and Shri Trikuteshwara temple, visitors has to reach these temples navigating over narrow roads. Speaking about the temple's beauty, it seems originality of the temple walls has been covered by extra masonry work, unnecessarily or for repairing the damages. Several deities are there inside the temple premises.

Shree Renuka Yallamma Devi temple

Hindu temple
Sights & Landmarks
Sacred & Religious Sites
Hindu site dedicated to the goddess Yellamma, with an annual procession drawing crowds of followers.
Visiting Yellamma Temple in Saundatti was truly a wonderful and divine experience. The temple is very powerful, and you can genuinely feel positive vibrations as you pray and walk around. For us, Yellamma is not just a deity but our house goddess, making the visit even more special and emotional. However, while the spiritual energy of the temple is pure and uplifting, the behavior of some people around the temple was quite disappointing. Without your permission, some individuals apply thilak on your forehead and immediately demand money. Others try to sell items aggressively — if you refuse, they even sneak items into your bag and then insist you pay for them. It’s important to stay alert and cautious in these situations. Bargaining is common, but sadly, it feels more like you are dealing with a market rather than experiencing peaceful devotion. Also, most items being sold are overpriced, and purchasing them is unnecessary. Adding to the disappointment, the surroundings are often littered, which spoils the beauty and sanctity of such a powerful place. Overall, if you focus only on the temple and the divine energy of Yellamma, the visit is deeply fulfilling. But it’s better to be careful, avoid unnecessary purchases, and protect your peaceful experience

We believe in god. This review is not about the Devi Renuka yallamma but about the shameless management who is managing this temple. There is no proper maintenance, plastic everywhere, people using innocent kids for begging that too inside the temple. No gaurds to control the crowd. Totally disappointed with the maintenance. Such a shameful for Karnataka government for maintaining this famous temple in this bad condition.

Very devotional place 🙏 It’s so beautiful and peaceful 😌 It is located in the YELLAMMANA GUDDA which is almost near Hubli On the way to the temple, you will get to see the SAVADATTI FORT 🏰 which is so big. On the way back from the temple, there is a beautiful waterfalls. The temple is so big And especially during jathre or full moon day, there will be heavy crowd of pilgrims from different parts of the country in the temple You’ve to wait for a long time to take darshan And avoid wearing gold jewelleries or carrying any other valuables during these days or else there will be the chances of getting it lost in the crowd and you won’t even get the lost things back Even special darshan takes a lot of time. They will allow the elder people who can’t stand in the queue for the direct entry into the temple. Mixture of Kumkuma, Arishina and flowers is casted all over the temple by the devotees.

Renuka Yellamma Devi Temple, Saudatti One of the most worshipped and strong devi 🙏 Currently temple is under construction and heard that temple will be closed for next few years - please check with someone before visiting.

The surroundings of this premise is very dirty and nobody is there to clean it. It's all covered in cow dunks (poop), garbage etc. There are 3 ways to enter the temple, 1st is completely free and far away from the devi, 2nd is paid entry with little fees which gets you a little bit closer to devi but the poojari is very bad mouth in there and not letting anyone stand there for even 2 seconds and complete their prayer, and 3rd one is expensive which will get you inside the mandap with your family for special pooja. The main problem is on the exit, the moment you exit the temple there are several beggars (mostly female) begging for money and all of them are sitting behind a steel fence in line till the premise of the temple is complete. Administration of the temples should do something about this.

Went on Monday and it was smooth dharshan. I visited probably after 5 to 6 years and I feel there is quite a good change around. No much begging and harassing if devotees, surroundings are fairly clean and queues are managed well. It could be more better and I am kind of sure in years to come it would. But from what I had seen in my childhood days almost 2 to 3 decades back and now things have been remarkably better. It feels good!

Here there is a tog train which covers the full park which is not in the entry fee ticket we need to buy a separate 30 rupees ticket to access the train. Local people come for walking in the morning and evening.

Also the statues made of ragi, jowar etc. They have also carved fruits and vegetables. Aquarium is also exhibited over here . Also fishes and the aquarium set is available for sale They have also kept plants for sale at very reasonable price. I got plants and compost from here at cheap rates. You can get fertilizers at just 10rs per kg and plants starting from 50rs. Note: Don’t forget to get your own bags if you are a plant lover. They do provide you bag for 10rs additional charges. Overall good experience. You can enjoy snacks as well, girmit and mirchi bajji.

The Indhira Gandhi Glass House in Hubli is a stunning architectural gem, known for its unique design and beautiful surroundings. However, it suffers from a lack of maintenance, which detracts from its potential as a top attraction. With proper care, it could be a vibrant gathering spot for locals and tourists alike.

“Agadi Thota” was conceptualised in the year of 2000 with a theme we grow, we offer, we process our produce. In the year 2017, as a value addition and to generate additional income to make agriculture more self sustainable, we started to offer a special authentic North Karnataka’s ethnic food which is a geographical indicator of this region. The whole day we keep serving various items in unlimited quantities, starting from Fruit juice as a welcome drink, different variety of seasonal naturally grown and ripened fruit cuts, Millet based breakfast with natural Lemon Tea, Ragi Malt, Tamarind chigali, Sugarcane Juice, North Karnataka cuisine Lunch, Butter milk, pan, evening Masala Girmit with Sev, Mirchi to end with Tea/coffee. Agadi Thota's main objective is to offer a whole day package of ethnic North Karnataka Unlimited food. Along with that, to educate people about our culture and tradition, we also have Village life style self experience as a complimentary to the guests. Promoting our north Karnataka food is our intention hence we do not allow any outside food as we keep serving unlimited quantities of different items throughout the day. Food is our service is mandatory, rest of the experiences are just complementary.

It was one of the best experiences to spend quality time with my family, surrounded by nature and enjoying traditional food. I especially loved the mud kitchen items prepared in the old style from our UK side — I’m a big fan! The food was completely tasty, healthy, and reminded us of our roots. The entrance games were on another level, and I had so much fun playing with my little and younger brother. It created beautiful memories for all of us. I sincerely request Agadi Thota to make mud kitchen items available either online or offline, so more people can use them, as they are really good for health. Nowadays, in Dharwad city, I only come across matka water, but not such authentic items. I am truly thankful to Agadi Thota and everyone behind it for keeping us healthy and for teaching the importance of our old lifestyle. 🙏

Agadi Thota is a perfect destination to enjoy the real rural beauty and culture of North Karnataka. The farm is well maintained, calm and quiet in lush green surroundings. The activities provided are enjoyable for all age groups. From bullock cart ride, pottery making, boating, rain dance and many others. But mind you they only provide the structure you have to do everything yourself. But the best part is the food of North Karnataka served during entire day..it’s simply awesome..fresh, tasty ,homely and unlimited also.. The staff is very warm and makes sure that whoever comes there have a great time. The concept of organic farming and showing people how to do such type of farming in a very sustainable manner is really appreciated. It’s not about visiting, it can be called as an complete cultural exposure. I would say family outing, school outing or if you are just bored from the life going around. If you are anywhere near Karnataka u must visit this place!

A wonderful place to visit with family and kids — offering an authentic village experience that brings rural life alive!

The Chandramouleshwar Temple in Unkal is estimated to be 900-year-old built in the 11th-12th century during the Badami Chalukyan era. The Chandramouleshwar temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva. The temple has marvelous sculptures that attract any art lover. Due to its archeological importance, the temple is preserved and maintained by the Archeological Survey of India. It was built on the lines of Badami, Aihole, and Pattadakal temples. According to legend, the temple was built overnight by a group of anonymous artisans and sculptors. Since the temple was constructed in a night, and as the artisans couldn't finish the whole work in one night, the temple structure is incomplete. Unlike other temples, the temple doesn't have a gopura.

Urban Oasis Mall is a solid, all-in-one spot on Gokul Road—easy to reach, with plenty of shopping, a multiplex, and a straightforward food court. It’s clean, reasonably well maintained, and works well for a few hours of retail therapy or a movie + meal plan.  What I liked • Convenient location & parking: Just off Gokul/Airport Road with on-site parking, so getting in and out is simple even on weekends.  • Brands & basics covered: You’ll find national labels (e.g., Titan World, Reliance/Pantaloons-type anchors) alongside everyday essentials.  • Movies at Cinepolis: Comfortable screens and current releases make it easy to turn a shopping trip into a full evening.  • Food court for quick bites: Familiar chains (KFC, Domino’s, Pizza Hut) and Indian counters—handy if you’re with family.  Good to know • Peak-time crowds: Weekends/holidays can be busy; shows and popular eateries fill up fast. (Plan showtimes and arrive a little early.)  • Overall upkeep is decent, though some reviewers wish for a livelier food court and sprucer common areas.  Verdict: A dependable, family-friendly mall for shopping, a movie, and casual dining in Hubballi. Not a “destination” like metro city malls, but very practical and convenient for the city. Rating: 4/5.
Dr T — Google review
I recently visited Urban Oasis Mall in Hubli, and while it offers a few amenities, the overall experience was underwhelming. The mall houses some well-known brands like Pantaloons, Reliance Trends, and Woodland, but many stores appeared closed or sparsely stocked. The food court features outlets such as KFC and Domino's, yet the token-based system is cumbersome, and service can be slow . Entertainment options include a Cinepolis multiplex and a gaming zone. However, the cinema has been criticized for issues like sound quality and screen maintenance . The gaming area is modest and may not appeal to all age groups. Cleanliness and maintenance are areas of concern. Visitors have reported poorly maintained washrooms and a persistent odor in the parking area . Security staff have also been noted for unhelpful behavior in some instances. In summary, Urban Oasis Mall serves as a basic spot to pass time in Hubli but falls short of expectations for a comprehensive shopping or leisure experience.

The Mall is very good and well maintained, but mindset of people who live in the city is not as developed as metro city people. Due to which the footfalls in the mall is very low which have led a lot shops to close. In my recent visit a lot of shops of the food court were closed. Barely any apparel shops were open.

Unkal Lake Hubli: Perfect for Picnics & Peaceful Walks! Unkal Lake is a popular and well-maintained spot in Hubli, ideal for picnics, walks, and quality family time. The lake is large, complemented by a clean garden, playground, and walking pavements right at the entrance. Entry is a nominal ₹10 per person, and car parking is conveniently available in front. While the lake itself is well-maintained with regular de-weeding and attractive new fountains with lights, it's disheartening to see visitors still scattering garbage and plastic, despite efforts to keep it litter-free. A great place to relax, if visitors contribute to its cleanliness.

A great place to spend time with family and friends! The Unkal Lake and garder is the place where you can find real peace and happiness. The place is totally covered with greenery and we can see many view points there so that we can enjoy the lake view from there and can feel the atmosphere. The lake and garden is really wonderful but I suggest to maintain the Unkal Lake more as the water seems to be polluted, and also request each and everyone (including me) to maintain the place and follow the rules so that the lake and garden look better and it's our own responsibility to maintain our area and surroundings clean including public parks, gardens and more. My overall experience was pretty good and I really enjoyed a lot. Most recommended garden to visit for the one who are new to Hubballi, and i recommend those too who haven't visited this place. There are even many more kids playable area so that kids can enjoy and have fun. Best walking trails are available for morning and evening walks and you'll really enjoy it. Huge Parking facility is also available vehicle parking. The ticket is Rs.10 per person and Rs.5 for vehicle (the day I visited). * Online Payment Option is not available. ** No entry ticket and vehicle parking ticket were provided by the ticket counter agent, who was unresponsive.* Overall my experience for this visit was worth watching and I really enjoyed here!

Great place for walkers and jogger’s . We could only make 1/4th round of the entire lake . According to the security of the lake the entire periphery of the lake is about 6.5 kms . The lake closes at 07:00 pm . If you are planning to cover the entire round then have ample time before you take the full circle. The lake is just next to Hotel naveen . The pavement have been well laid . There are lights out along the track so that the move may be smooth . There is a sun set view point at the enterance at a heightened location . There is an eatery/restaurant at the entrance where you can grab snack before you set out for walking . Entrance fee is 10/- and parking fee is also 10/- . If you are in Hubballi and not sure where to go in the evening then this is a good place to explore .

I am a resident of Jaipur and have been visiting lake for long walks ever since childhood. I have seen people from all walks of life come to lake for morning and evening walks. I like to walk the talk here with friends and family. The environment of the lake is very conducive for deep introspection. Watching the sunrise or sunset gives me an exhilarating experience and makes me feel one with God and Nature. Of late you can see the water shimmering like silver if you go around 5:30 or 6:00 pm and makes the whole area look so calm and serene and beautiful. At the other end of the lake there is now a Buddha Park with a very beautiful calm and serene statue of Lord Buddha in sitting pose. At the entrance you will find the lake club, restaurant, lots of vendors selling eatables, and a big play zone for kids where you can enjoy with kids. Also, there are ducks in the lake which you can feed or go for a boat ride. There are plenty of things to do here. It has become an activity centre for people. All in all an enjoyable experience.

One of the best places to visit in Hubballi - Dharwad for peace and spirituality. I visited ISKCON Sri Krishna Balarama Temple alone on a Wednesday. It is located in a calm area, surrounded by greenery. The temple premises are very clean and nicely maintained. Beautiful carvings and nice decoration around the temple add to the devotional feel. The evening aarti was well organized. Bhajans were sung with full devotion, and the environment felt very peaceful. The volunteers at the temple were very polite and explained things patiently. It was a very good experience to spend some time alone in such a calm and spiritual atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit for peace of mind and positive vibes. #iskconsrikrishnabalaramatemple #nammahubballidharwad

The park is beautifully done .But it lacks attention in its maintenance.(Toilet photos attached) It is sad to see basic lack of civic sense in people using it,the park is littered with plastic bottles , alcohol bottles and food packets .The authorities need to look into creating awareness on the upkeep and maintenance of the same . Also no park timings are mentioned on either gates(pictures attached ) ,a security employee assumes you know the timings ,falsely claims there are boards put up mentioning the same ,and in a very rude manner .It's a shame for the city to have provided such a great facility but it loses its beauty to certain factors as mentioned above.
Mrugaja M — Google review
Area is great but maintenance is poor. Even after taking money for entry, the lake and the the walking area is strewn with stinking plastic waste. Plastic/picnic/food should be banned inside the park premises and public bags should be checked or bag storage area to be provided to prevent this menace.

Kittur Fort

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Fortress
Sights & Landmarks
Kittur Fort is an archaeological site that houses the remains of an old fortress, along with well-maintained garden areas and a small museum showcasing ancient artifacts, armour, weapons and other items used by soldiers. The fort played a significant role in India's freedom fights, as it was bravely fought and defended by Rani Chennamma against the British. Located just 1 km from the highway, this quiet fort is easily accessible with ample parking nearby.
Pride of Karnataka. We can see how scientific and safely those people spend their lives during ancient days. We know it's too old and destroyed most of the part but yet it gives a view on their scientific lifestyle. Presently reconstruction work is going on. Anybody can visit the fort at any time after completion of construction work. Thank you 😊...
Shrikant B — Google review
"I'm absolutely in awe of Kittur Fort, a true pride of Karnataka! Despite being ancient and partially destroyed, it showcases the scientific and safe lifestyle of our ancestors. The ongoing reconstruction work promises to restore its former glory, and I can't wait to visit again soon. Located between Dharwad and Belgaum, the fort is steeped in history, having witnessed many battles, including Rani Chennamma's brave fight against the British Army. The museum is a treasure trove of artifacts, with portraits, swords, and sculptures that bring history to life. The fort's surroundings are well-maintained, with a beautiful garden and ample parking. Each part of the fort is labeled, making it easy to explore. I loved the local school chorus singing patriotic songs about Rani Chennamma - it felt like walking through a movie! A big salute to our ancestors for their ingenuity and bravery. Kittur Fort is a must-visit, and I'd recommend it to anyone interested in history, culture, and patriotism. The best part? It's free to visit, and the authorities deserve kudos for maintaining this awesome monument

Kittur Fort is located in between Dharwad and Belguam District . Even though the great archeological site is in poor condition but still work is progress. Nice garden. Well maintained cleanliness and parking facilities are available.. Rani Chennamma ruled & fought with British Army. She was brave queen.
Dr S — Google review
The Kittur Fort, located in Kittur Chennamma, is a place of immense historical importance, famous as the site where Rani Chennamma bravely fought the British. 📍 Location & Travel From Belgaum: Approximately 50 km From Dharwad: Approximately 30 km From Hubli: Approximately 60 km ✨ Highlights of the Fort Museums: An excellent resource for children and history enthusiasts, featuring historical monuments, ancient coins, maps, and other artifacts. Guided Tours: A guide is available on-site to provide detailed explanations about the fort and the inspiring life of the freedom fighter, Rani Chennamma. Photography & Views: A beautiful spot for photo lovers, with great locations inside the fort and a viewpoint offering scenic vistas. Devotional Sites: The fort premises also house a Gram Devata temple and a Hanuman temple, providing a devotional atmosphere. 🍽️ Food & Dining Tips On-site: There are no well-known, sit-down hotels directly in Kittur. Recommendation: It is best to dine at a Highway Dhaba where you can find space and a focus on hygiene (e.g., Durgamba Dhaba) located near the main highway. 🛣️ Nearby Attractions Saibaba Temple: Located about 3 km from the fort, near the highway.

Small but beautiful ground fort. It's decently maintained and we were able to walk through all parts. Each part is labeled but it would have been great to have a short description of that area. The place is dilapidated but still feels beautiful.

Magod Waterfalls

Waterfalls
Nestled in the lush greenery of the Western Ghats, Magod Waterfalls is a stunning natural wonder that truly comes alive during the monsoon season. This breathtaking waterfall, also known as Kuli Magod Waterfall—where 'Kuli' translates to 'Pond' in Kannada—is fed by a small tributary of the River Bedti. Its impressive 200-meter drop cascades down in two stages, creating an awe-inspiring spectacle enhanced by mist and fog during rainy days.
One of best scenic waterfalls. I visited during the monsoon season. There are multiple viewpoints, all accessible by stairs. On the way to the highest viewpoint you can also see a small waterfall several kilometres away in the opposite direction of the Magog waterfalls.
Rohith N — Google review
An elegant waterfall. You get to see it from three to four different viewpoints. The water falls down with quite a force and flows through a lovely green valley. The trek is doable by any age group.
ANAND L — Google review
I recently visited Magod Waterfalls, and it was an absolutely breathtaking experience. Surrounded by dense forest and greenery, this waterfall is one of the best natural attractions near Dandeli. The view is truly mesmerizing, especially in the rainy season when the water gushes down with full force, creating mist and fog all around. The atmosphere feels cool, fresh, and magical, making it a perfect spot for nature lovers and photographers. You can capture some really amazing pictures here, as the fog and greenery create a picture-perfect frame from almost every angle. One of the things I really liked about this place is the convenience of reaching it. The road is good, and there is plenty of space for car parking, so visitors don’t have to worry about their vehicles. Even if you are traveling in a large group, parking is not a problem. The viewing points are safe and offer a clear panoramic sight of the falls and surrounding valleys. Magod Waterfalls is not just about the waterfall itself, but also the serene environment that makes you want to sit and enjoy the natural beauty for hours. If you are in or around Dandeli or Yellapur, this is a must-visit destination. Highly recommended during the monsoon season for the best experience.
Nikhil M — Google review
It is a sight to behold in the monsoons with its deafening roar and sheer volumes of water. It starts somewhere deep in the forests of the Western Ghats in the Sahyadris of Uttara Kannada, Karnataka. It plunges 200 meters in two steps along with 2 scenic bends that form for a spectacle especially when it is gushing with lots of water. I am talking about the Bedti river and its famous 200 m fall that we know as Magod Falls. This magnificent waterfall can be viewed from a series of view points, which is more like a hike by a ridge in the middle of dense forest. Set with multiple view points, the visitor can admire the view of this surreal waterfall from different perspectives along the short hike. While one viewpoint treats you to the view of the full Magod bend, the others treat you to sensational views of the waterfall and the entire forest landscape. The heavy gust of wind that blows straight at you through the valley is an added thrill..... Magod Falls is a top monsoon holiday destination and its beauty is unparalleled when the copious flow of water is muddy, the mist moves in and out, the landscape is lush green and the trail that you walk on is teeming with wild activity. It also offers great photographic opportunities right after the rains. If you love waterfall holidays, monsoon holidays or if you are headed towards the Uttara Kannada region of Karnataka, you should definitely visit this gorgeous waterfall..... I totally recommend it!

Scenic spot

Jenukallu Gudda, roughly translated as Honey Stone Hill is a beautiful picturesque viewpoint at Yellapur. It is very near to Magod falls and it is a must visit place when you are in the area. The viewpoint offers a breathtaking scenic view of the valley all across and is mostly covered in fog during the winter season. During the rainy season, one can witness the river flowing through the lush green forest down below. Sunsets are a vibe here and no camera can do justice to the location. One has to witness it to believe the enchanting view that this place has to offer. The roads leading to this place are broken for a few km and one has to pass through dense forest and plantations all along the way. It kinda gets spooky when you are returning after witnessing the sunset because you will not see any human habitation for kms together.

Trekking enthusiasts can enjoy the trails, while bird watchers can spot giant hornbills. Don't miss the sunset here. Permission from Karnataka Power Corporation is required, but it's worth the effort. Try for permission from KPCL security office at Ambikanagar in advance. Photography was not permitted.

Indeed, visiting this place is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, offering breathtaking views of nature's wonder. However, to access this beautiful destination, it's essential to obtain permission from KPCL (Karnataka Power Corporation Limited) in Ambikanagar, Dandeli. Once permission is granted, you'll be rewarded with a mesmerizing viewpoint of River Kali as it flows through a deep V-shaped gorge. The river gracefully curves around 90 degrees first towards the right and then towards the left, creating a truly awe-inspiring sight that showcases the raw power and beauty of nature.

Kavala Caves, located within the Dandeli Wildlife Sanctuary, are a set of limestone caves formed by ancient volcanic activity. The highlight of these caves is a large rock formation resembling the Hindu deity Shiva, with a 4-foot high Shivalinga at its center. This sacred site is only open to devotees on Mahashivrathri and requires an 8km trek through the tiger reserve forest to reach it.
Har Har Mahadev, this sacred place in cave is only open for devotees on mahashivaratri day, lakhs of people comes to take darshan and blessings of Shiva 🙏🏻. The route is like trekking in jungle as it is tiger reserve forest, but administration and police will be there for safety. Should visit atleast once in life.

Whenever I tell my mother about my new trip plans, she used to ask me, "you are going to any temple there?" . But ended up not visiting any. This time unexpected Dandeli trip lead me and my friends to this amazing place called Kavala Caves. which is hidden for outside world except on Shivarathri. 8km trek was definitely worth visiting this place. Among the less places explored in my life, this place sure is a gem. Om Namah Shivayah

A beautiful place for a trek, naturally formed Shiva Linga. Have to trek for 4 kms to reach the descent point, where you have to go down about 500 steps, very scenic and chances of spotting Sambar or barking deer very high, just loved it, highly recommended for trekkers and nature lovers

Avoid this resort at all costs!!This place is a complete scam. They lure people in with positive reviews and photos of a different resort, but when we arrived, they shifted us to another property called *Wildernest* without any prior notice. When we questioned them, they gave a vague excuse, claiming they assign resorts based on "availability." Since we reached late at night, we had no choice but to stay. The resort we were sent to was poorly maintained, none of the promised activities were available, and the worst part — they served the *same food* for all three days! If you value your time and money, do not book this resort. It completely ruined our vacation experience.

Sathodi Falls

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Nature & Parks
Waterfalls
Sathodi Falls, a hidden gem near Yellapur in the Uttara Kannada district, is a breathtaking natural wonder that cascades from an impressive height of 50 feet. This lesser-known waterfall is formed by several unnamed streams that flow into the backwaters of the Kodasalli Dam on the Kali River. Surrounded by lush greenery and serene landscapes, Sathodi Falls offers visitors a refreshing escape into nature, making it an ideal spot for a day trip or picnic.
Sathodi Falls is undoubtedly one of the best waterfalls in Uttara Kannada, known for its pristine beauty and serene surroundings. Nestled amidst lush greenery, the cascading water creates a picturesque view that makes it worth the trip. However, one important thing to note is that there is no mobile network coverage at the falls, so you need to plan ahead and carry cash for any expenses like parking or entry fees. The remote location adds to its charm, but being prepared ensures a hassle-free experience. Perfect for nature lovers and peace seekers!

A majestic waterfall. You will have to do a small trek to reach the falls. Any age group can achieve it. The falls in itself is very beautiful. The roar of the water falling for a height can be heard from a distance. The young guys can easily climb the rocks and go right to the falls. Taking a shower right below the falls is an absolute must. One can spend the whole day there.

Beautiful falls with no trek in yellapur, Karnataka. The last few km of the road are extremely in bad condition. There is lots of parking. Hardly a five minutes walk from the parking. The fall is beautiful even in summer. Found people doing pre wedding shooting on the fall. This is something has to stop to avoid commercialization of this beautiful place. Please keep the place clean when you visit 🙏

This is one of the most beautiful tourist place to visit! One of the beautiful falls in Karnataka. This is the place where you'll will experience trekking in a wonderful nature surrounded by greenery and it's a very well maintained place to visit. The thing is, here we get parking place to our vehicles too and the parking charge is Rs. 20 per vehicle and the entrance fee is Rs. 70 per person. I happily recommend this place to visit on weekends with family and friends.

This falls made my day! The water is so clean & you even get to swim the water is apx 5ft deep, during summers the water pressure is good The only issue is to reach this location, roads are just 3mts in width and are kn bad condition so drive slowly and you will have sufficient parking place and parking charges (₹20) applied

Sathoddi Falls, located near Yellapura, is a stunning and refreshing natural attraction, perfect for a one-day picnic or short getaway. Nestled amidst lush greenery and serene surroundings, the falls offer a scenic escape into nature that is both rejuvenating and peaceful. The drive to Sathoddi from Yellapura is picturesque, with winding roads through dense forest and hillscapes. Once you arrive, the sound of gushing water and the cool, misty air welcome you into a truly tranquil environment. The area is well-maintained, and the waters are impressively clean and inviting. It’s a safe destination for families and groups, with ample space to relax, explore, and enjoy the cool stream. The base of the waterfall is shallow enough for wading and offers a refreshing experience. Surrounded by rocks and trees, it feels like a hidden paradise tucked away in the Western Ghats. Sathoddi Falls is not just visually beautiful, but also spiritually uplifting—ideal for nature lovers and photography enthusiasts alike. The entire setting makes it a perfect day trip from Yellapura. With its unspoiled beauty, cleanliness, and peaceful atmosphere, Sathoddi Falls stands out as one of the finest natural spots in the region. A must-visit if you are anywhere near Yellapura.

Experience: Visited in the morning. Scenery: Beautiful view with a good amount of morning fog, creating a serene atmosphere. You can also see birds and hear them chirping, which adds to the charm. Maintenance: Well-preserved and easy to explore. Accessibility: Steep climb; normal older buses may struggle. We got off the bus and walked, and it turned out to be a fantastic walk. Overall Impression: A peaceful historical spot with great photo opportunities, scenic views, and a refreshing morning walk.

The view from the summit gives a spectacular look at Belagavi city and nearby hills. 🚗 How to Reach: Located about 20 km from Belagavi, easily accessible by road up to Yellur village. A short trek (around 30–45 minutes) from the base leads to the top of the fort.

Yellur Fort is one of the most impressive historical places to visit in Belgaum. It is also known as Rajhansgarh fort perched at the top of a hill. The fort was built by the Ratta dynasty and later rebuilt or renovated in stone by Asad Khan Lari. It was strategically positioned as a watchtower to monitor enemy movements. A, 43 feet tall statue of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj was inaugurated by Karnataka CM in the center of the fort on March 2, 2023, mentioning its significance during his era. Yellur fort has also a beautiful temple known as Siddheshwar (Lord Shiva) temple, is a significant landmark within the fort The fort is a major tourist attraction of the city offering a blend of history, architecture, and natural beauty. Better to visit in the evening time to have a mesmerizing sunset views from the top. The roads approaching the fort are good, making the drive smooth and scenic. It is easily accessed by 2-4 wheels and has ample space for parking. Yellur Fort is open 24 hours a day, with no entry fee. Perfect place for a day hang out with family/ friends !!!.

Yellur Fort is a beautiful historic spot with stunning views of Belgaum city. The climb is short but slightly steep, totally worth it for the scenic sunrise and sunset. A peaceful place for history lovers and nature enthusiasts.
