Jog Falls is an 830 ft waterfall on the Sharavati river located in the Western Ghats in Sagar Taluk in Shivamogga District, Karnataka, India. The waterfall is India's third-highest plunge waterfall. It is a segmented waterfall that changes into a plunge waterfall depending on the weather and season. The Sharavathi cascades down four separate falls, Raja, Rani, Roarer, and Rocket, after flowing over a highly rocky bed that is roughly 250 yards (230 metres) broad and 290 metres (950 feet) deep. The Raja Fall drops to a depth of 250 mt in a single, uninterrupted column of sheer rock (830 ft). It is met by the Roarer halfway down, precipitating itself into a sizable cup and then rushing forcefully downward to meet the Raja. A series of jets from the Rocket blast down. The Rani glides silently across the mountainside on a foam sheet. The best time to visit is between January to August.
