Jog Falls |

Bear witness to nature’s headlong tumble as the
Sharavati river makes a spectacular drop of 810ft. (253m)
in four distinct cascades – known locally as Raja,
Rani, Rover, and Rocket – to create the highest
falls in Asia. The falls are at their best during the
monsoon, with arching rainbows colouring the mist. When
the sluice gates of the upstream Linganamakki Dam are
closed, it is worth taking a walk right down to the bottom
of the gorge.
