Day around Jog falls

I had thought of spending some time around Jog falls to capture beautiful images of other waterfalls. Started off from Siddapura and stopped at Tumbragoda village. This is a stone quarry turned into small waterfalls of about 40 feet and can be seen only during monsoon. 

At Husur village, there is a reservoir and small picnic place.

Just before Jog bridge, on road side, Mavinagundi falls can be seen.

 Another fall

 Mist had covered the jog valley. People had to wait to see jog falls. I started my journey towards Honnavar. Had a pit stop at Sharavathy view point. 

 Descending down the ghat, on the opposite mountain there is waterfall which captured my attention.

 B K waterfalls - Upper stage

When the ghat road ends, there is bridge. There was no board or indication of this falls. I walked along the trail leading towards that hill. One the way there are many small stages of water falling from about 20ft. 

After walking about 20min, 5 min along the stream, i was in front of this mystical beauty (B K falls).
Heavy downpoar had made the fall more beautiful.
I checked the way if i could climb top and see the upper part, but it started raining.
Clicking many photos taking videos, i returned back to main road.

I came down to Gerusoppa village and enquired about M M falls, but they were not able to recognise.
They pointed that there is another falls which was earlier stone quarry during dam building time.
Getting directions i went in search of the path. Walked for about half an hour and to my bad luck i had taken wrong turn.
I could get a beautiful snap of this stream running in full flow.

 Came back to the same shop, requested the shop keeper and he agreed to come along.

About 0.75km from temple, there is deviation, old road (used for timber transport) which is the way.
It looked like people had not been along this path and many trails were totally covered by bushes.
With his direction sense and cleaning up the path, we walked about 40min and saw this serene beauty.

Old stone quarry had turned into beautiful wonderland.

It is very easy to stand below the water and play.

Rain was on-off i returned back to the shop.

I hope to find pointers to M M falls and would make it someday.

It was evening when i reached the shop. Thanked him and i continued my drive towards Honnavara.

It was very good memorable drive along this road.
