Jog Falls
Keeping the distance to be covered for our last
day of trip in mind, started early morning from Murudeshwar and plan was to have
breakfast at Honnavar and visit Sharavathi Suspension bridge and Sharavathi
Valley View on the way to Jog falls.
From Honnavar on the way to Jog falls at a
distance of 25 we get Sharavathi Suspension bridge, there is an option for boat ride at this place.
Nothing much to do at this place expect
clicking some pics, you will get a nice pics around this suspension bridge.
Spent some 20 to 30 mins here and headed towards Jog falls.
Once you travel another 23 Kms from this point
we will get a watch tower to see Sharavathi Valley View. Good thing about these
two places are no need to take any deviations from the main road, we will get
to see both the places on road side itself, but be careful while parking your
vehicles.
We will get to see one more waterfall on the
way from road side, couple of times I tried to get information from the
localities to go near the waterfall but no luck yet. We can see this only from
road side!
After stopping multiple times finally reached
the world famous jog falls :) we can view the falls from two different angles
one is from side view or top view - Mungarumale view :P (its bit risky to reach
this place). No need to pay any entrance or parking fee at this place.
View of guest house from the other side :)
The difference between these two view points is
around 2.5Kms. It will take hardly 5 mins drive to reach the other view point.
Here we need to pay Rs.30/- for car parking and Rs.5/- per person.
We thought of getting down from the stairs till
the falls but considering the time constrains we postponed the plan. Just
clicked couple of pics around this place and it was time to windup.
Headed back to Bengaluru after filling the
loads of memories in my camera :)
Before reaching Bengaluru decided one thing no
more long drives on Long weekends. It was a hell lot of traffic and took more
than 5 hours to cover 70 Kms. Keeping this in mind trip plan will be done for
future Journeys :)
