Nestled among the Western Ghats, in a picturesque terrain surrounded with dense evergreen forests, is the roaring Jog Falls of Karnataka. 16 km from Talguppa, the nearest railway station, is the Jog falls village. If you are traveling to the Jog Falls or to Shimaga falls, you can travel by two road routes, the National Highway 48 or 4. While the former route is better the second is a longer one with poor road surface.
The drive up to the Jog Falls in Karnataka offers you a panoramic view of the terrain, its charm emanates in the atmosphere, making you wish to visit it again.
The magical Western Ghats gives birth to the Sharavati River that plunges down from a height of 810 ft in four cascades known locally as Raja, Rani, Rover and Rocket.
