Jog falls, is in shimoga district & created by sharavvati river which falls from a height of 250 meters means 1/4th of a KM, imagine the height, the whole fall is divided into 3 groups, the best season to visit this place is during rainy season when dam releases water you will get a good view of fall, you can see the fall from front that is one angle & most exciting thing is you can also go on top of that fall watch the water falling from that height.
There are many accidents that had occurred on the top of the falls, as it will be slippery & if you see downwards from top you will be shocked to see that.so be careful when you on top pof the falls.When I was a child I mean 18 years ago there was a special train like thing which would take you to the bottom of the falls, I don't remember all things about it exactly.You can also go downwards & experience the waterfall frm that much height.
There are many different places & view points where you can watch the falls differently. If the day is cloudy you will not be able to see the falls for very long time.you can only see the falls if its a clear day.
To reach jog, there are KSRTC buses from almost all cities towards shimoga & from Shimoga you will get KSRTC/private buses/private vehicles.
