Jog Falls

Karnataka, India

4.5 (0)

Overview

The Sharavathi hurls itself 253 m off a cliff in four distinct cataracts — Raja, Rani, Roarer and Rocket — making India's second-highest plunge waterfall. In full monsoon the combined curtain of water is a thunderous, mist-shrouded spectacle.

Why visit: One of Asia's great waterfalls — untamed, colossal, unforgettable in the rains.

Things to do

›View all four cataracts from the main platform
›Descend the ~1,400 steps to the plunge pool (dry season)
›Visit post-monsoon (Aug–Dec) for peak flow
›Combine with Honnavar backwaters or Murudeshwar
