Some of the highest waterfalls of India are found in the state of Karnataka. Jog Falls, which is one
of the most superb waterfalls, is the 2nd highest plunge waterfall in India. Visitors can feel the force of the fall against the rocks when water falls down the summit from a height of 253 meters. When this fall is in full flow during the season of monsoons, 3.4 million tones of water fall down the top every second. Jog Falls are located in the Shimoga district of Karnataka. Four cascades, known as Raja, Rani, Rover and Rocket merge to form the huge waterfall on the Sharavathi River. The falls are locally known as Geruoppe Falls, Gersoppa Falls and Jogada Gundi. Jog itself is a Kannada word, which means falls. Source: http://www.pathalagere.in /
