Jog Waterfall, Karnataka

Jog Falls is a waterfall on the Sharavati River in the Shivamogga District of Karnataka, India. It is India's third-highest plunge waterfall. It is a segmented waterfall that transforms into a plunge waterfall depending on the amount of rain and the season. The falls are popular with tourists, and the waterfall database ranks them 36th in the list of free-falling waterfalls, 490th in the list of waterfalls by total height, and 128th in the list of single-drop waterfalls in the world.

Jog Falls is formed by the Sharavati, which drops 253 m (830 ft), making it the third-highest waterfall in India after the Nohkalikai Falls in Meghalaya, which drops 335 m (1,099 ft), and the Dudhsagar Falls in Goa, which drops 310 m (1,020 ft). The neighboring Linganamakki Dam, which spans the Sharavati River, is linked to the waterfall. The power station has been in service since 1948 and has a capacity of 120 MW, making it one of the largest hydroelectric stations in India at the time and a minor supplier of electricity for Karnataka now.
