Why people make this trip
Kundapura is the closest of our pickup towns to Jog, which turns a long day from Udupi into a manageable one. The Sharavathi drops 253 metres in four streams, and after the monsoon the sound reaches you well before the view does.
What the road is like
Inland through Siddapura and up into the Sharavathi valley. Forest road for the last stretch — narrow but well surfaced.
Worth stopping for on the way
- Unchalli Falls (detour)
- Siddapura
- Sharavathi valley viewpoints
One thing worth knowing
The far-side viewpoint reached by the steps down into the gorge gives a completely different view from the main platform. It is a hard climb back up — decide before you go down.
Which vehicle suits this route
For most groups on this route we suggest the Toyota Innova Crysta — the car every coastal driver trusts on a long day.
