Hello Explorers!
There is a river so enormous that it feels slightly sad to know it doesn’t flow eastward like others. The name of this west-flowing river is Sharavathi, which accumulates humongous amounts of water in the monsoons. It forms the iconic Jog Falls, one of the highest waterfalls in India, dropping down 253 meters.
Sharavathi backwaters are controlled by the Linganamakki dam which generates hydroelectric power throughout the year. and when the authorities release dam gates, itâs a feast for the eyes in the form of Jog Falls.
The valley is so beautiful that it feels hard to believe such a place existed, especially in monsoons. It presents travelers with an unmatched beauty in terms of lush green vegetation, unrelenting rain forests, densely packed valleys, and plenty of macro wildlife.
The nature is so pure and calm in Sharavathi valley that it feels any human movement is actually disturbing this pristine setting. While we take good care of mother nature here, we will also trek, camp (given the persistent rains, itâs a safely covered campsite), and explore in a true backpacker style.
The next day, we will visit remarkably huge Jog Falls, initially from the top, and then from its foothills by hiking down approximately 1400 steps. Looking at the magnitude of height, listening to the ferocious sound, feeling the moisture on our face is an experience of a kind, and gives us goosebumps.
With that unforgettable picture captured in mind, and in our cameras, we will head back to Bangalore.

It falls under easy difficulty level. Even first-timers may attempt this trek. Itâs more of a rainforest experience than trekking or hiking
Itâs just about a 5 Km trek up and down in the rainforest. Expect lots of rain, muddy trails, leeches.
The monsoons (July to Oct) are the best time. Itâs a great experience this time for the travelers who donât care about getting wet and wild. Jog Falls will be at its best once they release water at the Linganamakki dam of Sharavathi backwaters. Usually, this starts in July, but we cannot predict surely how much water they release on a certain weekend.
