Kurinjal Peak |
Kurinjal peak in Kudremukh National forest was the first trek in this monsoon. Trekking in Kudremukh area requires permission from forest department and hence I called them few days before to make sure that we will be allowed to trek in the forest. The person on the other side of the phone seemed very polite and supportive. That was good.On Saturday morning I, Krishna and Subbu were at Kudremukh forest Office. The person whom I talked to was not in Office and the guide who was supposed to accompany us was uninterested. The rains and leeches bothered him a lot. But he said that he had no problem in issuing permits if we can manage to trek ourselves.

Jog Falls |
Jog Falls, Gerosoppa Falls or Joga Falls (ಜೋಗ ಜಲಪಾತ) is the highest plunge waterfall in India located near Sagara taluk, Shimoga district in the state of Karnataka.[1] It is a segmented waterfall which, depending on rain and season, becomes a plunge waterfall. The falls are a major tourist attraction and is ranked 13th in the world by the waterfall database. They are also known as the Gersoppa Falls or Jogada Gundi. The falls are located on the Uttara Kannada and Sagara border.Jog Falls is created by the Sharavathi River dropping 253 m (830 ft), making it the second-highest plunge waterfall in India after the Nohkalikai Falls with a drop of 335 m (1100 ft) in Meghalaya.
Sharavathi, a river which rises at Ambutirtha, next to Nonabur, in the Thirthahalli taluk and takes the northwesterly course by Fatte petta, receives the Haridravati on the right below Pattaguppe and the Yenne Hole on the left above Barangi. On arriving at the frontier it bends to the west, precipitates itself down the Falls of Gersoppa, and passes that village (properly Geru-Sappe), which is some 29 kilometres (18 mi) distant, discharging into the sea at Honnavar in North Kanara. |
