Cab from Hubli to Jog Falls — about 170 km, 3.5 to 4 hours via Sirsi and Siddapura into the Sharavathi valley. India’s second-highest plunge waterfall, thundering in the monsoon. We drive the ghat roads; you catch the four falls — Raja, Rani, Rocket and Roarer — from the viewpoints.

Route facts
The Hubli–Jog Falls run, from drivers who do it weekly
— 01
The route
Hubli → Yellapur → Sirsi → Siddapura → Jog. Forested Western-Ghat roads — beautiful, winding, best driven fresh in the morning.
— 02
Best season
August to December, when the Sharavathi is full and all four falls roar. Post-monsoon (Oct–Nov) balances flow and clear roads.
— 03
When water is low
In summer the dam holds water back and the falls thin out — call us before booking in Mar–May and we’ll tell you honestly what to expect.
— 04
The viewpoints
The main viewpoint faces all four falls. Steps lead down toward the base (steep) — go only if you’re fit and it’s dry.
— 05
Add on the way
Sahasralinga on the Shalmala river and Marikamba Temple in Sirsi make a good combined day; ask us to route through them.

Jungle Lodges’ Honnemaradu and Sagara stays let you slow down. Two-day trips bill the 300 km/day minimum with the driver on batta.
