Sharavathi Adventure Camp

The Sahyadris are a magnificent jewel in the tiara of Karnataka's splendour, abounding in natural bounty. They are a treasure trove of unusual flora and wildlife, many of which are endemic to this area, with lush grasslands, flowing rivers, green valleys, and a sizable amount of forest cover. When new life blooms in every crevice of its expanse during the monsoons, the Sahyadris wear their most colourful apparel. The River Sharavathi plunges from an astounding height of 830 feet to create one of India's tallest waterfalls, the Jog Falls. The greatest time to see Jog Falls is during the rainy season, when it flows down in four different ways: Raja, Rani, Rocket, and Roarer.

Kayaking, coracle rides, and pleasure fishing are just a few of the water sports you can enjoy while drifting along the reservoir's cool blue waters. While drinking a hot cup of coffee by the water's edge, you may watch the sun paint the sky with mellow orange tones before turning it into brilliant crimson strands. You can experience foggy mornings and go for a drive through the Sharavathi Valley Wildlife Sanctuary's heavily forested woodland.
