                                   JOG FALLS I had visited jog falls many times but my recent visit with my best friends was much memorable. There is a song in Kannada "ಮಾನವನಾಗಿ ಹುಟ್ಟಿದ ಮೇಲೆ ಏನ್ ಏನ್ ಕಂಡಿ! ಸಾಯೋದ್ರೊಳಗೆ ನೋಡು ಒಮ್ಮೆ ಜೋಗದ್ ಗುಂಡಿ" which means ' What have you seen in your life when you havent seen the Jog falls yet '.  Yeah! I can say Your life is incomplete unless you visit jog falls before you die. It is situated in the heart of the malenadu district shivamogga. The falls is created by the holy river Sharavathi which takes birth in Ambutheertha near konanduru. The falls kisses the bottom from a height of 253 meters (830 feet).

I had heard people talking about the big fort in Kavaledurga and people also talk how suitable place is for trekking. We all were tired but still agreed to visit there looking forward for a great enjoyment there.   We reached there by 3 P.M.
