Nestled in the western ghats of the south indian state, Karnataka, is Kodachadri , a mountain peak (altitude – 1343 m above sea level). The first thought that crosses anyone’s mind on mention of Kodachadri is trekking as its known to be a trekker’s paradise.
Well, I am not going to go in detail on the trekking part as there are loads of material available on Trekking @ Kodachadri.

This has been a long pending stuff from my side. Never got around to write about it. This is about a weekend trip to India’s highest waterfalls, The Jog Falls.
Jog Falls is situated at a distance of 100 kms from the city of Shimoga. This is the place where the river Sharavati falls from a height of 292m forming a glorious waterfall.
The river forms four different tracks (as seen in the picture) which are named ‘Raja’, ‘Rani’, ‘Roarer’ and ‘Rocket’. If you are captivated by the beauty and want a closer look, you can walk down a narrow pathway to the bottom of the gorge and take a dip in a pool of water at the foot of the falls. The best time to visit this place is just after the monsoons between when the falls are at their most impressive.
