As the final post for Waterfall Week Part 2, I am posting today about Jog Falls in India. These falls are the highest single drop falls in India at 829 feet high. With its combination of height and volume during the monsoon season as seen below, it is one of the most powerful falls in the world along with
Kaiteur Falls.
Jog Falls is very seasonal as the low season can be seen below with just a trickle over the falls compared to the monsoon season above and at the bottom.
The flow of the river is also controlled by an up-river dam and a hydro-electric station so the flow is often manipulated. I even read one place that said on weekends during tourist season the flow is increased for tourists but during the week it is less.
Have you ever been to India?
