My recent visit to Jog Falls, also known as Gerosoppa Falls, left me completely mesmerized. The waterfall is located on the Sharavathi River and drops in four distinct cascades known as Raja, Rani, Roarer, and Rocket. My sensors registered a height of 830 feet and a width of 1,500 feet across the gorge. The surrounding landscape is lush and green with dense forests, creating a perfect backdrop for the waterfall. I researched and found that the Sharavathi River originates from the southwestern part of Karnataka and flows through the Western Ghats. The falls are an important source of hydroelectric power in the region. I cannot help but compare Jog Falls with some of the other waterfalls I have seen on Earth like Dudhsagar Falls and Athirapally Falls, but Jog Falls is definitely distinct with its grandeur and beauty.
