Beautiful pics Akash. Superb roads,a beautiful lake, golf course etc. I think this city has a lot to offer for tourists, am I right?
Thanks for sharing the pics.
Yes Sakrishna Golf course is really fabulous,there are two of them.Belgaum city as such has nothing much in store for the touristers but the nearby places in Belgaum at a radius of 100 KM are mindblowing out of world be it the castle roack,dandeli forests,Kali river,Londa,amboli ghats(Maharashtra),Goa(135 KM),jamboti,Gokak falls etc etc....
NH4 cuts thro this city.Belgaum roads are improving major roads are really good with well maintained pavements,Interior roads need a touch up.
It is a nice little cozy town sitting amidst lush greenery of the western ghats.
