  1. It would be the first of this kind in northern part of Karnataka, this would become world famous if gokak falls is connected using cable hangers. …. hidkal dam and gokak falls and ghataprabha reservoir have potential of attracting world tourism.

  2. First construct proper access roads to Hidkal Dam & present infrastructure of Hidkal Dam itself properly,,then plan these things. Without proper roads it will be useless in investing the public money in such projects. If one happens to visit Hidkal Dam just try to visit IB (Inspection Bungalow) and review the present condition. Once it was a major attraction for many visitors, but today i feel very pity on its present condition.
