Godachinamalaki Falls in Godachinamalaki village is a waterfall located on Markandeya river in Belgaum district, Gokak Taluk, Karnataka, India. It is 15 kilometers away from Gokak and 40 kilometers from Belgaum. It is located in a deep valley.

Godachinamalaki falls, also known as Markandeya falls, is located in a rugged valley, which is approachable from Godachinamalaki village by walking as well as by vehicle through an irregular forest route for about 2 kilometers and there are two routes to reach the falls from Godachinamalki, one is via Malebail road by crossing a bridge at Godachinamalaki and another is via Gurusiddeshwar Temple (Hatti Siddeshwar). It can also be reached on foot from Nirvaneshwara Matha near Yogikolla.

To reach Godachinamalki Falls from Belgaum via Ankalagi, Pachhapur & Mavanur, frequent bus service is available from Belgaum & Gokak. The nearest railway station is Pachhapur, which is about 8 kilometers away. Good train facility is available from Belgaum to Miraj and almost all these trains stop at Pachhapur railway station.

There are actually two falls formed here. The Markandeya river takes a first fall from a height of about 25 metres and flows into a rocky valley. After a short distance from the rocky valley, it takes the second fall from a height of about 20 metres.

Gokak falls is located within 10 km distance from Godachinamalki, via Melmanahatti & Maradimath.

Later, Markandeya river joins the Ghataprabha River near Gokak.

Within a 6 km radius there are two dams; one built across the Ghataprabha River (Hidkal dam) and another one (Shirur Dam) across the Markandeya river. The best time to visit these places is from June to September[1]
