WELCOME TO OUR HAVEN - THE SITE A Quiet Village tucked away in the western ghats of the Southern India Penunsula that is known for its seasonal waterfall. Only 40 KM from Belgaum, it is still quite discreet & rightly enjoys its place in the lap of nature. Population less than 1000 people, the locals find all their needs fulfilled through agriculture & forest produce. The food, clothing & shelter all emerge & merge with the natural setting. The houses made with mud, the natives have well established their rapport with nature & the flora & Fauna of the region. This otherwise sleepy village attracts nature lovers & Adventure enthusiasts to the Chikhale Falls. 2 Build The Natural Way
