Shivakashi Stream

Shivakashi Valley seems to be a place which was once densely covered by trees. At this location you can find the marks left by monsoon springs and water falls. Based on stories I heard from my grandma and others village elders there used to be tigers once upon a time. Stories were told to me where some village folks hunted them off decades ago.

The location otherwise is dotted with few temples and well. Tigers may have disappeared, but you will still be lucky to find the black face monkeys eating the figs from those few remaining trees.
