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 :)
