Jog Falls - Mighty waterfalls in South India

I always wanted to hike down the Jog Falls in my home state of Karnataka. So, during my trip back to India this past summer. I did exactly that. It is about 375 km from Bangalore in the Shimoga district. This is the video I shot -- a short version of all the footage I took there and edited-in with Indian music. It is a mighty waterfalls (created by Sharavati river)-- which is the highest waterfalls in India with close to a 1000 ft drop (perhaps the second or the third highest in the world). Hiking down was a great experience through the thick rain forests, and in rain. Living in Phoenix, AZ, rain forests, rain and waterfall mean a lot more to me now than anytime before. During the summer monsoons, the Jog Falls runs heavy and is beautiful. The thundering water sound is another experience you will always remember. During my visit, the mornings were foggy and misty -- hence so heavenly. Hope you get a sense of that in the video. Thanks.
