Jog Falls - At Nature's Majestic Best

The Jog Falls is perhaps the most stunning example of nature's majesty. The falls originate from the Sharavathi River and consist of four distinct segments and these are Raja, Rani, Rover and Rocket.

The Crystal Cascades of Jog

The sight of this magnificent sheet of water cascading straight down a height of 830 feet unfettered by rocks or other encumbrances is one that has moved thousands of visitors. The beauty of this view is enhanced by the natural beauty of its lush green surroundings.

There are several vantage points from where you can witness the splendor of Jog Falls. One of the most popular ones is the Watkins platform.
