Belligundi Waterfalls Trek Tour Package

Belligundi waterfalls (literally translating to silver waterfalls) are located deep in the Sharavathi valley of Karnataka. The falls flow from 300 meters above and are unlike any other you might have witnessed. The falls shine like silver onto the rocky hill. The falls also constantly see rainbows running across. The Belligundi falls trek is a challenging one. Trekkers must go through dense Shola forests and a threat of poisonous vipers. The descent on a steep trail needs gear like a bamboo stick. Below are the details of the trek:
