About Gokak Water Falls
After a long winding course, the Ghataprabha river takes a leap of 52 metres (171 ft) over the sandstone cliff amidst a picturesque gorge of the rugged valley, resembling Niagara Falls on a smaller scale. The waterfall is horse shoe shaped at the crest, with a flood breadth of 177 metres (581 ft). It also has a hanging bridge which is an attraction for people visiting Gokak.
