With the southwest monsoon gaining strength across Karnataka, the iconic Jog Falls in Shivamogga district has once again come alive, drawing tourists and nature lovers from across the state. Continuous rainfall in the Western Ghats and surrounding hilly regions has significantly increased the water flow, transforming the famous waterfall into a spectacular sight.

Monsoon Rains Revive Jog Falls

The steady monsoon showers during the first week of July have led to a sharp rise in the water level of the Sharavathi River, resulting in a stronger flow at Jog Falls.

The four distinct cascades, Raja, Rani, Roarer and Rocket, are now flowing at full force, creating a breathtaking spectacle for visitors.

Located near Sagara in Shivamogga district, Jog Falls is formed as the Sharavathi River plunges nearly 830 feet, making it the second-highest plunge waterfall in India.
