Bangalore-Jog falls & back. Is this the right time to visit?. - Team-BHP

snaronikar · 30th April 2008, 20:29

Hi,

This is not the usual route query. I know the route to jog falls.

I'am planning to do this trip during 2nd & 3rd of May. I need few inputs.

1) Whether is this the right time to go over there?
2) Is there any water at all as this is the peak summer?
3) Planing to stay overnight there at Jog falls. So how about hotels in and around that place?
4) Are there any other places that can be covered in my 2 days & 1 night trip to Jog falls.

Do give your inputs on the above.

AFAIK, Jog reduces to a trickle this time of the year so you are better off going somewhere else.

Quite a few places including a MAYURA (KSTDC)

You can take the coastal route on your way back.
Murudeshwar, Udupi, Mangalore etc

This is not the right time to visit Jog as the water level will be too low

. Best time to visit Jog is between July to september. On weekends water from the dam nearby (it is called Linganamakki dam or sharavati dam) is released. But still at this point of time the water level will be too low.

To stay you have lodges Mayura, KPCL guest house (can get it if you know any one working in BESCOM). Room rent is decent enough. Around 300 to 500. Food is not that great.

Thanks for inputs guys. Was thinking to go somewhere in this long weekend. (2nd to 4th May). Not able to get ideas. Checked Yercaud/Munnar-No Hotel rooms available (already booked); Ooty/Kodai/Coorg/Mysore-already seen. Anybody suggest a good place something like a hill station?

Try Coorg. Lot of good home stays available in exotic locations. check out here for bookings Welcome to Home Stay Kodagu

Nagarhole is another option. You need to plan well in advance, as the JLR will be booked out almost every weekend.

Chikkamagalur is also within a long weekend range. Read Samurai's thread on it for the place.

Visit Jog when water is released thats around July end - August. Right now best places:

1. chikamagalur - kemmangundi/kalasa/horanaadu/kudremukha/sringeri
2. coorg
3. nagarahole

Regards,

Ravi.

1) Whether is this the right time to go over there?
Nope. Go during August.
2) Is there any water at all as this is the peak summer?
Hardly any. But if you want to walk down to the foot of the falls this is the right time.
3) Planing to stay overnight there at Jog falls. So how about hotels in and around that place?
Shimoga/Sagar.
4) Are there any other places that can be covered in my 2 days & 1 night trip to Jog falls.
Sakrebail near shimoga. Its an elephant training camp. You can bathe the elephants. Kids will enjoy.
Gajnur dam near shimoga.
