The Gokak falls is a celebrated tourist centre 6 km from Gokak in the Belgaum district of Karnataka, India.
The Ghataprabha River after a winding course of a long route takes a leap of 52 metres over the sand-stone cliff amidst a picturesque gorge of the rugged valley. “except in width and colour of the water, the general features of the fall, its height, shape and rapidity above are much like those of Niagara”. The falls are horse –shoe shaped at the crest, with a flood breadth of 177 metres. During the rainy season, the thick reddish brown water sweeps far over the brink of the cliff with a dull roar which can be heard from some distance. July to September is the season to visit it. There is a hanging bridge across the river measuring about 201 metres and the height above the rock bed is 14 metres.
