Located in Karnataka, Jogfalls is the most spectacular waterfall of Western ghats. With a plunge of 830 feet, it is the second highest waterfall of India after the Nohkalikai falls in Meghalaya.

We will travel through ghats to reach this place and stay in a homestay surrounded by greenery and a garden of supari and cashew plantations at backside.
