It is 15 kilometers away from [[Gokak]] and 40 kilometers from Belgaum. It is located in a deep valley.<br /> <br /> Godachinamalaki Falls, also known as Markandeya falls, is located in a rugged [[valley]], which is approachable from [[Godachinamalaki]] village on foot or by vehicle through an irregular [[forest]] route for about 2 kilometers. There are two routes to reach the falls from Godachinamalki, one is via Malebail road by crossing a bridge at Godachinamalaki and the other is via Gurusiddeshwar Temple (Hatti Siddeshwar).

Good train connections{{According to whom|date=September 2025}} are available from Belgaum to Miraj and almost all these trains stop at Pachhapur railway station.<br /> <br /> There are actually two falls formed here. The [[Markandeya River, Western Ghats|Markandeya river]] takes a first fall from a height of about 25 metres and flows into a rocky valley. After a short distance{{Vague|reason=Distance should be mentioned specifically, in meters.
