indeed belgaum is a paradise on earth. not jut for the scenic setting of its location and the great climate throughout the year but also for its hosptable and well cultured people and its cosmopolitan nature.one can get all modern amenities but without the pollution of metros. cantonment area, (camp) for me is the best place in the city with its greenery, cleanliness, neat and wide roads, paved footpaths that are a delight to morning walkers, and excellent civic amenities. having spent four years in Belgaum, i long to go back there. the people are so friendly, educated and cultured. very rarely does one find the regular street brawls common in other cities. nature has bestowed her best to this place and surroundings. the water falls of gokak, amboli, godchinmalki, vajrapoha in its vicinity are all spectacular and unique in themselves. india's best teak wood also is found in abundance in the forests around belgaum. this is perhaps one of the few places which still has bungalows with sandal wood trees for a hedge.(like the ones in cantonment area) greens was my favourite eatery with its wonderful landscaped open to sky reastaurant with tables amidst bamboo and palm bushes. when you go into the bustling ganpat galli, kiroskar road and surrounding gallies, there is nothing in the world you cant get.
but i think the karnataka govt should ake better efforts to improve the place better. i fee it has got an ample scope of housing the IT and BPO sectors.
