Jog falls people say,is the largest falls in India.So a visit to those falls was obviously a topic of hot discussion amongst all my friends who couldn't be a part of that trip.We, a group of 35 guys suddenly decided that it will be shameful on our parts if after staying in Karnataka for more than 3 years now,we do not visit the famous Jog. So one fine morning we packed our bags and that night boarded the bus. It took about 8 hours so that when we finally had a glimpse of Jog falls,the early morning sun was playing hide and seek with a tiny piece of cloud.
The view,well to just describe it as majestic will be waste of space here coz it was much more than that.When we left the bus and had to walk for about 10mts we could see nothing. The Jog was covered completely by fog but even that looked fantaboulous.
Then we decided to take a closer look and so all of us started a descent .Luckily the water wasn't at its best and so we could easily take a shower in nature's lap.But the journey isn't that easy. As we kept on moving we realized that the stairs that were helping us go down,after a while suddenly vanished and we had to move through rocky terrain.
After a while the going got difficult as rocks became wet due to the splashes coming from the falls and they were slippery. One slip and you go down by atleast 10 feets into the water.But as they say.when the going gets tough,the tough get going .Finally we were standing 1000 feet below from where we were about an hour ago.Yes! It took about 1 hour.But the risk was worth it.We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
Finally it was time to go back.If coming down was risky,going up was damn tiring.But we found stalls selling lime soda and stuffs like that an we gulped down everything as if we were released from prison where water was a precious quantity.
The trip to Jog was a memorable one and i seriously want to be a part of such trips.But the trip did not end here.
We guys then moved to a beach.But that will be in the next post.
