'''Bankikodla-Hanehalli'''<ref>[http://www.ourvillageindia.org/Place.aspx?PID=247800 - Bankikodla ]</ref><ref>[http://www.ourvillageindia.org/Place.aspx?PID=247801 - Hanehalli ]</ref> are twin neighbouring villages in a valley in [[Uttara Kannada]] district in the south western section of the Indian state of [[Karnataka]].

Just to the north of the village, the [[Gangavalli River]] joins the [[Arabian Sea]]. The town of [[Gokarna, Karnataka|Gokarna]] is just to the south of the village. The surrounding [[Sahyadri]] Mountains hug the Arabian sea with open fields providing recreational opportunities for the locals. It has creeks and shallow ponds and bridges, which are vulnerable in the rainy seasons. For religious or spiritual people, there are temples, church and a Masjid to worship in.

During [[British rule in India]], the [[Chitrapur Saraswat Brahmin]]s built Anandashram High School (1884) for their children, but a majority of them eventually moved out to Mumbai. The younger population is now moving out of the village and the older generations, especially the retired communities, have started coming back to the village.

== Location ==
