Shimoga Jog Falls – Best Tourist Attraction of Karnataka

Flowing from a height of 829 feet, Jog falls in Shimoga district of Karnataka is the highest plunge waterfall in India. It provides a resplendent view to an incessant flurry of tourists. During monsoon, its magic must be seen to be believed. There can be a debate over the technically highest fall in the country but the fact that Jog falls drops untiered, without being interrupted by rocks and boulders, make it arguably the highest and the very best fall in India.

The Falls beaks into four different streams as river Sharavathi deviates into four separate tracks. Each is named after their demeanor; the king, the queen, the roarer and the rocket. The naming bit can be attributed to the indigenous folks.

Undoubtedly the best falls in Asia in terms of scenic brilliance, it also provides great utilitarian value. It enables the Mahatma Gandhi hydro-electric project which bestows electricity to most of Karnataka. Fast moving water running through turbines can be an awesome view for the tourists.

Jog falls is mundane before the onset of monsoon so we suggest you to make a visit between August and December. Moreover, forget about the government’s statements and just go by what the locals perceive of the fall. It might give a better account of its grandeur and make your experience richer.
