India’s highest waterfalls
By Road: 80 km from Kumta / 90 km from OmBodhi Retreat
Jog Falls is the one of the highest and most beautiful waterfalls in India, situated in Karnataka state. It is one of the top destinations of Karnataka and is formed over the Sharavathi River falling from a height of 253 m (830 ft).
The water comes down in four distinct falls known as Raja, Rani, Rover and Rocket. These four distinct cascades merge to form this beautiful waterfall. The Raja Fall pours in one unbroken column sheer to the depth of 253 m (830 ft). Halfway down, it is merged with Rover Fall. Together they rush violently downwards to meet the Rocket, the third fall, which shoots downwards in a series of jets. The fourth fall, Rani, quietly falls over the mountain side. It is a breathtaking sight.
The best time to visit Jog Falls is from August to January, though the peak season is from September to December.
