I completed all my educataion from belgaum schooling to graduation and I miss not being there. Belgaum is a nice wonderful place with beautiful mountains and lots of greenery specially in Rainy season its a paradise . It has that colonial and old world charm about it. And there are many getaways near no belgaum like gokak falls Asoga, Tilari Dam etc. Hope it remains that way and does not become a concrete jungle like bangalore. where u can only see traffic, people and those unsoulful structures with glass window panes.
