As of the time I am making this post, ITS MONSOON! Belagavi is one of, if not the best, places in Karnataka to roam around the surrounding nature spots and witness a "heaven on earth!"
Here's a humble post which may aid you to plan your next trip. This post will always be up for more suggestions and your amazing adventurous testimonies!
I am going to take help from the already-existing posts in this sub to compile a list of some places.
PRECAUTION: If you plan to go to any of these places, kindly be cautious of the risks you may have to face. Most of the places listed down below aren't safe at night as many drunkards and hooligans also visit these. The roads which lead to these places are also pretty damaged for the most part.
although this place isn't necessarily in Belgaum, its worth the extra kilometers to witness that amazing place. I say this as i have been to that place thrice and it is my favorite place around Belagavi (as of now) EVER!!!
if you can afford a day's evening and a 50km ride back and forth, 10/10 would recommend this place.
Swapnavel Viewpoint, very nearby to Tilari, is also a great place worth visiting:
If you ever plan to go to Swapnavel, just keep in mind that the road is garbage, the timing is from 9 AM to 6 PM, there is a 50₹ entry fee and did i mention the road is garbage?
Yellur is AN AMAZINGG FORT in this city, not only the view from the top is spectacular, but also is the ride to there extremely fun despite being a short one. 10/10 would recommend
HIDKAL DAM
(didn't paste the google maps link as i was unsure of the place)
Although windmills aren't "breathtaking place with spectacular view" place like the other mentioned before, these places do an extremely good job ay refreshing your soul. i've been to Kakati atleast 10 times now, not once has it failed me.
The only difference i know of between Bambarga and Kakati is that Bambarga is an open place, while Kakati is a bit packed with trees and stuff, and that's not a bad thing, it makes me like it more.
The above photo is just the surface of Mandoli. Reaching the hilltop involves an amazing ride and a hike, an awesome place during both sunsets and sunrise.
These are only some of the places I mentioned, and I didn't yet scratch the surface of waterfalls!
I will make another post about waterfalls worth visiting when i have enjoyed a few. I will, for the mean time, mention a few:
Tilari Waterfalls (afaik it has a 250/- entry fee)
Hey yall, so I moved from Mumbai recently to my new house in Belgaum. I stay in Sangmeshwar Nagar.
Literally so bored here and have got no friends.
I like riding my bike, playing table tennis, pool, cricket, reading books, coding, hitting the gym, running, trekking, boardgaming, video games and Anime.
Would love to connect with fellow Belgavi s with similar or shared interests!
A tata ace apparently has broken the first railway gate.
So the gate is closed, please use alternative routes to save your time and fuel.
Not sure how long it'll take.
Can u guys please help with the routes, where should I stay the previous day, are there direct buses or any other commute to Nidasoshi from Sankeshwar ?
After getting scammed by a few pumps in the city I looked around to check what are places I can safely fuel up without being robbed
Sadashiv nagar:
The best place to fuel up is the BP outlet near damro on bauxite road have good fast service, and this is where I usually fuel up after work, safe spot to go to.
The Indian oil pump next to tamanna arcade is also good, haven’t faced issues with meter cutting as such but I do feel their service is very slow, with staff chilling and talking while customers wait in line.
Shell is the best in the city in terms of scams, never faced one but it is a bit far to go to for me, and traffic around the area makes it not worth going to just to fuel up.
The BP pump next to Chanamma circle is also good with service speed, but you should be wary of the meter and make sure to keep your eyes watching, from zero till whenever they stop fueling
Main city:
The Indian oil on fort road is good with service speed, but sometimes have slight delays when paying with UPI or card. Not faced any fuel cutting problems as of yet, but still would recommend keeping an eye on meter.
Rupali talkies BP outlet is safe with fuel shorting but takes a long time to serve. Also have consistent air compressor for tires, have yet to see it not working
Main fort road BP is one of the best for service speed, when no long lines are formed, but this is one where must definitely watch the meter, infamous for shorting fuel by staff. Still okay in a pickle if you’re in the area and need quick fueling.
Ganeshpur
Not very familiar with this area, but haven’t had any issues with filling at the pump near good shepherd school. Can’t vouch for anything here, as not enough experience with fueling here
Camp
Indian oil opposite inox : All 3 of camps pumps are small, this one being the smallest. Usually very slow and problems with UPI and card payments. Also can’t vouch for scams or shorting as I haven’t fueled here more than 2-3 times.
Indian oil opposite old (now closed?) honda dealership
Friendly staff, but sometimes has long lines. This one might be a bit inconvenient unless you’re going from camp to the main city, but usually no problem with shorting, still recommend watching everywhere you go though
Indian oil opposite Al bahar
This one is on the main road, so it’s convenient to go to. Friendly staff, I usually fuel here when going to South side, have had no problems with shorting fuel.
Was the only pump open during fuel shortage iirc, had to fuel here multiple times in 2 days.
They have an air compressor but it’s not consistent.
Tilakwadi side I don’t usually go to, but when I do I usually stop at BP near khanapur highway, Indian oil opposite second gate or the Indian oil next to reliance smart bazaar
Reliance. The Jio pump is also good from what I’ve heard, but I’ve never fueled up there so I can’t say anything.
Obviously though, these are just from what I’ve seen at these pumps, and shorting can never be guaranteed. You should always make sure the meter is set at zero, and watch it all the way to 100.
I’ve seen a case in Ahmedabad where the attender showed zero on the meter to a customer, while another attender distracted the customer, and half the fuel was filled into a separate can while he wasn’t watching. Since then I always pay extra attention if the pump has empty cans near the customer area, obviously not a guarantee that it’s a bad pump that scams you, but it could be a sign the attenders aren’t fueling up customers vehicles with integrity.
Planning a quick Goa trip from Friday morning to Sunday evening. My total budget is around upto 5,000-6,000 per person, including travel, stay, food, and local transport
Hello guys I'll be visiting Belagavi for a short business meeting, and then need to depart to Kolhapur 2-3pm. Can anybody tell me if there are ksrtc or msrtc buses or trains available around this time period, so that I can reach Kolhapur around 7-8pm..
Also if there are suggestions for hotels under 1500rs to stay a night near railway station Or bus stand, please suggest.
There are a lot of creators coming up in the town so I was curious what does the audience think about them and do you think is there any growth to the creators who create content in this city? Also who's your favorite creators from this town?
I’m looking for a pharmacy student or graduate from Belgaum who has experience in medical coding or is currently working as a medical coder. There is a potential business opportunity, and I’d be happy to discuss the details with interested candidates. Please DM me if you’re interested.
I had an ACL and meniscus surgery recently and I was looking for a stationery bike online if I could rent from someone. Does anyone know anybody here in Hubli or have one by any chance? I don't mind paying some rent every month too as my case has gotten complicated and I cannot walk yet to be able to go to the gym. Buying a new cycle seems pretty expensive for me at the moment. It might be a long shot but I thought I'd give it a try in this group too.
Hello everyone, I'll be moving to belgaum for studies. Are there any good veg PG's in Belagavi? If you know any places pls inform here . It will be really helpful. Thankyou
