Jog falls(Sep09 12-13:360km)


This time to spend weekend we headed to Jog falls:
The Sharavati river crashes nearly nine hundred feet down forming four main channels named king, queen rocket and roarer and is the highest plunge waterfall in India. Just after the monsoon season or rainy season the falls are a magnificent and awesome sight to see. At this time the falls are surrounded by mists. The 50 km long hirebhasgar reservoir now controls the flow of the Sharavati river in order to generate hydro-electricity but inspite of this there is an vast difference between the wet and dry season flow of the waterfalls.

On the way, we shot some country side photos:
