Jog falls is a must watch for all people who love and appreciate nature. The falls is a refreshing treat to your eyes and is at its best during monsoon season ( Aug - Oct).When I visited the falls it was rainy and hence it caused a little inconvenience and hence we decided not to climb down .We will reach the top of the falls and hence there is an option to go down where the water falls.We can take bath as well.But it is advisable to go down only if you are going as a group.
It will be really crowded and one may feel that the place is not well maitained , but still ignoring all such thngs you can enjoy the falls and will love it.The mist which surrounds the falls and then slowly moves away to have a full view of the falls.You will enjoy the Hide and Seek the Falls plays hiding behind the mist and thn slowly coming out to show its seamless beauty.
We waited for around 45 minutes for the mist to clear and to take a snap.
How to Go from Bangalore:
The nearest town is Shimoga hence we can either take a train directly to Shimoga and then a bus from there.I went by the tour arranged by KSRTC , it cost aroung 900 rs per head.The bus starts from Bangalore at 10 PM on friday and it reaches Morning 7 to town (Sagara)Where the KSRTC would provide accomodation to take bath and have breakfast .
Then after visiting few other places near the town we head to Jog falls.The falls has four views which the guide will explain and then the rest of the day is spent at the Jog falls , lunch can be taken in the restaurant there(dont expect something gr8) a very normal meal will only be available.The bus leaves back to bangalore at 5:30 and will stop at Shimoga for Dinner and it will reach next morning at 4:00 to Bangalore.
Its the perfect place to sit and silently admire or trek and have some adventure as well.Be careful dont go in some other season there may be no water and u may be disappointed.
