THEJAS H.K. forwards us three amazing pictures of the Jog Falls in, as the newspapers like to put it, “all its resplendent glory”. The pictures were shot on July 29, and offer us a window of the fearsome foursome: Raja, Rani, Roarer and Rocket.

just fantastic!
the only thing i miss is the roaring sound….
who named these falls????
gorgeous, breath taking. Thnaks for putting it on churmuri
Was wondering while looking at these pics and the bogus ones on Sringeri, is there any nice coffee table book on Malenadu? Which captures the scenery, the vegetation, the tiled-roof (now modernised) homes of the well-off, the huts of the others, the farms/coffee-adike estates, the fireplaces, everyday life in the towns, the mavina thopus, winding roads, the rain, brooks and cataracts, birds, animals etc. etc. And in nice colour photos not grainy black and white ones. If there is one, let me know, I want to get it – if 30 years from now some youngster in the family asks me what was the big deal about malenadu, I can at least show pictures!
The Jog falls must be one of the best kept secrets not known to the western world.
I have vivid memories of going there ~20 years ago. It was monsoon then and the Sharavati ‘thumbi hareetha itthu’, though nowhere near this.
The constant spray had made the observation deck mossy and treacherous underfoot. One after the other, every one of us, despite stepping gingerly, went tail over head with a ‘shoyynnk’. If a video of that was taken it would have been quite funny!
Hi Kool picture..
no state in india has the number of scintillating waterfalls as karnataka.
jog ofcourse is the best.
unchalli \ lucington falls, shivagangafalls, maagodu,sathoddi etc—- uttara kannada district is simply amazing. kannadigas are lucky to have these marvels in their state.
Hey Thejas , How can you Say that All those pic’s shot on July 29th ??
For your kind information ,all those pic’s were shot on July 12 at 3.23 pm by Me , you can chk on pic’s date.
Santosh
Gorgeous.Just beautiful. Thanks,Thejas.
@ Santosh Kumar.
santosh, i would not dispute the fact that the pics were shot on 12th. sorry, i just forwarded what i got. And neither would i claim that i shot them. in fact i was trying to search the actual photographer, which you claim it to you. fine i agree.
@ ERR, thank Santhosh, not me.
No adjctive is able to capture the grandeur of the nature’s beauty
I hope that the falls that I read first time when I was in my 3rd year primary, and which my headmaster, a fine crafts person ,created`in a miniature form in our school will last for a long time. I had later an opportunity to see the falls in 1950s and the grandeur struck me. I have since seen Niagara and Victoria falls but the above falls are special.
@ Santosh, 12th July fine, but which year?
I was in Jog on 28 July 2007, water was just tricking down.
ranga, i am awestruck by your pomposity and boastfulness. what a world traveller you are. how many great people you know personally. how old you are. how superior you are to everyone. you are the king.
Challe fruit,
Your brain seems to have shrunk to the size of the fruit that is your name. I live in the West you idiot. I earn money in hard currency you fool, and hence can travel. Now that should dampen your jealousy. If you have anything positive to contribute say it . Do not snipe from sides like a wounded puppy.
ranga, I live in the west too. I have been to a lot of places too. I earn money too (or ‘hard currency’ as you put it). What is the big deal about you? Are you a rock star or athletic hero? Or some kind of millionaire playboy? So cut the crap about your superiority when you post. Nobody is jealous about you – you just sound like a pompous old joker which is very amusing. Take the advice or keep making a fool of yourself.
Challe fruit,
Living in the West you have a peanut size brain. I have not seen any contribution from you except a wounded puppy sniping. I say about things what I feel and the truth, if that touches your deflated personality so be it. Grow up man You do have some complex problem needing treatment badly. Check with your insurance company. If you have anything to say about the blog topic, say it or shut up.
Challe fruit,
I think you are rude. Why do you attack ranga personally. He simply gave his experience. Do you have anything sensible to say about Jog falls? Do you know where Jog falls is? If you do not best to keep out of this posting. If you know then say something. If you cannot say anything, then you best with draw.
ranga, and you sound like your brain is up your a*s. and you are the one who needs the be admitted to a mental hospital or an old age home. you can then talk to the walls about your imagined achievements. instead of blowing your own horn on this forum and calling them contributions to society.
Challe fruit:
So you know me! Know about Jog falls? Then say it. Have you seen Victoria falls? What do you think of it vis-a-vis Jog falls? Seen Nayagara falls? How does it match with Jog falls if you have seen the latter? Let us have some meaningful words from you
The last time I saw Jog falls, the water was more than a trickle but not as majestic as the above picture.
I too have seen Victoria falls (Challe fruit, note!!). The sight was terrifying to seeing the power of gushing water down to the plain below. The Jog falls when it was best was breathtaking in a peaceful way.
ranga, Nayagara falls? where is that dude? Naya-gara? heh. Maybe you meant Niagara falls. anyway, that place is filled with Asian people showing the sights to their grandparents. uncool folks who dont know how to party. who dont drink, eat out, play sports and in general dont know how to have a good time. like you. whats there to say about niagara falls man? its a big waterfall on the border. yeah i had been to jog falls when i was a kid. no havent seen victoria falls. and i bet i have been to lot more countries than you – and not just as a tourist spending ‘currency’ and taking in the sights at tourist traps, but as an exchange student, volunteering and on job. and at an age when you were probably toiling away trying to make it in life. btw that doesnt make me superior or great in anyway. but certainly superior to you, you loser.
correction – first generation asian folks….
Egoism in full display .
Ranga , Uttama and Bodhusatva ..all the same .
Egoism has ripened with age and ‘NAANU’ ..’AHAM’ has overtaken common sense. looks like you are ready for a street fight with your grand children
You fell for Nayagara ! I wanted to bring out the worst in you. Why do you have a name like ‘Challe Fruit’! You were an exchange student with your mouth smelling like a toilet ! No wonder, your behaviour now is no better. Careful what you say. You party with substance? Careful,the Patriot Act is operating. Make sure you have American Passport or will end up in that patch of Cuba. By the way, what is your success any way? You have picked up some American slangs, is that it? Still you have not answered my questions. Never mind, the best is to ignore morons like you.
Challe Fruit:
Your gripe about Asians- are you a Texan? Your name suggests that you were from Mysore not long ago, but how come you have transformed so nicely in such short time (you sound young as you seem to hate all oldies)into an American with such wonderful American slangs. Well done!!
ranga, stop blabbering. you sound more incoherent with every post. whats up with your english? you write like the mentally challenged brown guy peter sellers used to imitate. ignore me and stop posting sh*t man…
I am Native of Jog falls now residing at Bangalore due to departmental transfer. Really amazing pictures you clicked. Wonderfull and warmly greets you with all the best wishes. Thanking you
majestic.
Among the three 2007-year pictures you have posted on Churumuri the first and the third are not real. At any point of time Falls in do not look like that. It is a photoshop creation by some people.
