Jog Falls is formed by the Sharavathi river plunging about 253 metres in the Shivamogga district of Karnataka, making it one of the highest plunge waterfalls in India. It splits into four streams known as Raja, Rani, Rover and Rocket.
The falls are also called Gersoppa Falls (also spelt Gerusoppe), after the nearby village of Gersoppa, and are sometimes called Joga Jalapatha locally.
