Jog Falls
Kannada: à²à³à² à²à²²à²ªà²¾à²¤, is a large waterfall 30 kilometres 19 mi away, created by the Sharavathi River falling from a height of 253 meters 829 ft, the highest plunge of an Indian waterfall. The segmented falls are a major tourist attraction, also known as Gerusoppe falls, Gersoppa Falls and Jogada Gundi. There are many waterfalls in Asia - and also in India - which drop from a higher altitude. But, unlike those falls, Jog Falls is untiered, i.e., it drops directly and does not stream on to rocks. Thus, it can be described as the highest untiered waterfalls in India. August-December is considered the season of best flow and the best time to visit - the nearest Train Station is Shivamogga.
