As a small town in India, Gokarna is full of contrasts where it gives its visitors the better of two worlds. It allows one to peak into its history as a small temple town dedicated mainly to the worship of the Hindu deity, Lord Mahabaleshwara. On the other hand its pristine beaches and panoramic shorelines allow vacationers to enjoy uninterrupted sunlight, where one can soak in the warmth and enjoy their stay.
Gokarna is a small and remote holy town, with four of India’s most secluded and pristine beaches nestled nearby. It draws both pious pilgrims and hedonistic holiday makers with equal enthusiasm.
Locally it is believed that the name Gokarna derives its name from a legend in which Lord Shiva emerged from the ear of a cow. Literally meaning ‘cow’s ear’, this village is formed by the ear shaped confluence of two rivers. With its narrow streets, traditional houses and plethora of temples, Gokarna is truly a favourite with the pilgrims, scholars and Beach buffs alike. Combine this with the wonderful scenic drive to this quaint little town, where the rocky Ghats meet you on one side and the expansive Arabian Sea on the other and one can see why Gokarna is fast becoming a popular vacation spot.
Jog Falls, created by the Sharavathi River falling from a height of 253 m (830 ft) is the second-highest (after the Nohkalikai Falls with a height of 1100 feet (335 metres) in Meghalaya) plunge waterfall in India. Located in Sagara, Karnataka Shimoga District of Karnataka state, these segmented falls are a major tourist attraction. It is also called by alternative names of Gerusoppe falls, Gersoppa Falls and Jogada Gundi.
There are many waterfalls in Asia - and also in India - which drop from a higher altitude. But, unlike most of such falls, Jog Falls are not tiered, i.e., it drops directly and does not stream on to rocks. Thus, it can be described as the second-highest un-tiered waterfall in India.
