It’s a paradise; spot the beauty in the ghats and the water falls at Swapnavel point. There 3 waterfalls which will dampen your eyes with the beauty of heaven. Fog, the lush green trees and in this season the fresh scent of green grass is worth it. But as this area is not developed as a tourist destination be prepared for hardships. No sign boards or milestones, no food and even for that matter petrol pumps so be prepared for all this before you leave. It is advisable to take food & water along.

Tillari is about 65 kms from Belagavi.

How to go there and what to see:

To see Tilari dam and waterfalls one has to take Belagavi-Ganeshpur-Belgaundi-Tilari Road. It is very hard to tell exactly locations of waterfalls as there are no information boards or milestones. The sound of waterfall #1 can be heard from the road itself as it is very near. A small pass takes you there. From there, waterfall #2 and 3 and Swapnavel point can be reached.

Entrance to Tilari dam without permission is prohibited, so one has to take permission from official personnel.

Entire red circled area is so picturesque that it looks extremely beautiful. If the view is covered with dense misty fog one can wait till it disperses.tillarimap2

Ghat section after Kadoli is awesome, but extremely dangerous because of deadly serpentine curves.

If you are planning to go there on bikes you must keep waterproof rain wears ready. As it can rain anytime even before you realize it’s raining you will be drenched.

Do not expect any shops, restaurants, petrol pumps. You may not find a single person throughout the route till you reach Tilari nagar.

To return to Belagavi it is advisable to take Tilari Nagar-Patane Phata road which connects to Amboli-Belagavi road.

So go and enjoy the heavenly paradise, many holidays ahead; Stay Safe.

  2. Last week (26th Sep to 3rd Oct 2009) my family took a drive holiday from Chennai to Goa and back. Looking at your website we took a detour via Tillari and Belgaum on return journey. It is really worth it inspite of 5Km bumpy road. The scenery is terrific. A word of caution. We were lucky our vehicle did not have any problem. Better to go in two vehicles for safety since the route is quite lonely

  5. Why can’t the Govt build ( or allow others) a decent Rest House with clean toilet facilities in such places? Same is the case with Doodhsagar falls! You return disgusted after visiting such beautiful and picturesque places. People are ready to pay for the facilities. The returns on the Investments can be fabulous!
