From Yellapur, take the highway towards Hubballi (Hubli) and then turn left towards Ganesh Gudi immediately after the petrol bunk. An arch at the beginning of this road is a good landmark for the road to Sathodi Falls.The stream then flows into the backwaters of the Kodasalli Dam, into the Kali River.Locally known as the “mini-Niagara”,Sathodi Falls, in the midst of a dense forest adds to the stillness of the surroundings when it plummets down into a roaring cascade.
