Hampi: The Saga Of A Lost City

From the land of living rocks; a saga in stone; Hampi (a town in the South Indian state of Karnataka, India) is home to an ancient Indian dynasty called the Vijayanagara empire established in the mid 14th century where both art & architecture flourished.

Amongst the marvel of the ruins & the splendours of a bygone era, I am that soul who is busy chasing the sunrise & sunset- beautiful examples that both beginning & ending can be gorgeous.

The Jog Falls

The Jog Falls, one of the most beautiful & the second highest plunge waterfall in India is tucked away in the dense evergreen forest of the Western ghats of northern Karnataka in India.

This is where river Sharavati takes a plunge from a height of 830 feet. The waterfall has four distinct cascades called Raja, Rani, Roarer & Rocket.

The best time to visit this place is during the monsoon season, from June to September when each cascade has sufficient water surrounded by plenty of greenery & beauty of the season.

This place is around 10 hours drive from Bengaluru, the capital city of Karnataka. Some of the well known tourist spots around this waterfall are Tyavarekoppa Lion & Tiger Reserve & an offbeat island called Honnemaredu.

See you soon 🤗
