Trip to jog falls was a memorable
one. I wanted to visit this place from long time and finally visited in
2012.We left from Goa at 8.30 am by car and
reached there at around 12 pm. Once we reached there, a lot of questions
like how to go near waterfall etc. were coming out of excitement. There
were lot of tourist buses, stalls around ....Finally we got the answer, as we could
see the steps and also lot of people coming back after enjoying there..They
were stopping for a minute and then climbing again, looked very tired :p ...we
had no idea how many steps were there in total (1400 plus steps :p)and whether any food was
available down ...anyways we had carried some biryani with us :) ...Do carry
water bottle and something to eat as nothing much is available down.
Above picture was clicked on the way to Jog falls, found it lovely :)
Jog Falls also called as the "Gerusoppaa falls" is in Shimoga district, Karnataka, and is formed by river Sharavati coming from western ghats.
This scene is common, lots of monkeys here and there :)
Four cascades named Raja, Rani, Roarer and Rocket.
Isn't it awesome?
A more closer view :)
Still closer :P
While climbing the steps to go on top after enjoying down, it started raining and it added to fun atleast in my case :D
There are two points to view these falls , one is the above wherein u can go near the waterfall, and the other point is the pictures shown below.
We missed Linganmakki Dam and hydroelectric power station served by river Sharavati but you can include it in your list when you go there :)
Have a nice time and do miss me :p
