Nature & Culture

ONE DAY TRAILS

 1. Satode Waterfall & Mundgod Tibetan Monastery
Satode Waterfall: Is a might waterfall hidden in the denser jungles of the Western Ghats near Yellapur. In October the roar of the waterfall surely passes a chill though the spine, making it a worthy visit.
Mundgod Tibetan Monastery: Momos, thukpas and tea? Don’t travel too far. Tibet is right in Mundgod, a small town in Uttara Kannada district. Colourful monasteries and stupas, red-robed monks, resonance of cymbals, chanting of prayers and a fragrance of salt butter tea. No, we are not talking of a visit to Tibet. One finds all these and more of a  Tibetan life and culture in the heart of Karnataka. The place is Mundgod, a small town in Uttara Kannada district. This is where a thriving community of the largest settlement of Tibetan refugees have been living for more than four decades now. In 1966, the state government offered the Tibetan refugees about 4,000 acres of forested land near Mundgod. A large number of settlers, nearly 15,000, made this their home. The whole settlement has a few schools, hospitals, a branch of the Tibetan Medicine and Astro Institute, commonly called Men-tsee-khang. A home for the aged as well as a nunnery are also maintained.
