📖 AboutJog Falls

Jog Falls (also known as Gerusoppa Falls, Joga Jalapata, or Jogada Gundi) is a series of large, segmented waterfalls on the Sharavati River in Karnataka state of India, created by the river plunging approximately 253 metres (830 ft) and splitting into four distinct cascades (Raja, Rani, Roarer, and Rocket). The waterfalls are situated in the Sagar taluk of the Shivamogga district. Jog Falls is a major attraction for tourists. It features two primary viewpoints: the first one is the front panoramic viewpoint located in the Jog-Kargal Town of Sagara taluk in the Shivamogga district and the second is the British Bungalow viewpoint, located adjacent to the falls in the Siddapur taluk of Uttara Kannada. It is a segmented waterfall which, depending on rainfall and season, may become a plunge waterfall. It is the third-highest waterfall in India by total height, and is ranked 36th in the list of the world's highest free-falling waterfalls, 490th in the world by total height, and 128th in the list of single-drop waterfalls according to the World Waterfall Database.
