Jog Falls is a series of large waterfalls on the Sharavati River in Karnataka, southern India, about 26 km northwest of the town of Sagara in a straight line. The river drops about 253 metres, splitting into four distinct falls named Raja, Rani, Roarer and Rocket. Jog Falls is the third highest waterfall in India by total height, after Nohkalikai Falls and Dudhsagar Falls. It is also known as Gerusoppa Falls. Depending on rainfall and season, it can change from separate strands into a single broad plunge. It has two main viewpoints: the front panoramic viewpoint in the town of Jog-Kargal, and the British Bungalow viewpoint beside the falls on the other side. Four white strands of water pour from a towering rock face into a deep, forested gorge, with spray and mist rising from below. In the rainy season the water is heavy and roaring; in the dry months the strands thin and the dark rock shows through. Visitors stand at the front viewpoint on the gorge rim, and many steps lead down towards the base for those who want to go further. The best time is just after the monsoon, when flow is strong and skies clearer. It gets busy at weekends.
