In this trip we started our first day journey from Kumta. We directly proceeded towards Jog Falls. Jog Falls, is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the country. The falls are formed by the Sharavati River, which plunges down from a height of approximately 830 feet (253 meters) in four distinct cascades known as Raja, Rani, Rover, and Rocket. Jog Falls is the second highest plunge waterfall in India. Next, we visited Bangara Kusuma Falls, located on the National Highway 206 through Honnavar Taluk and is about 41 km away. Passing amidst hilltops at Gair Goppa, this waterfall offers a spectacular view. Now it was time to take a stroll on the Samshi Hanging Bridge suspended over the Sharavathi river.

This temple boasts of the second highest statue of Lord Shiva in the world, and the sheer magnanimity of the statue will fill you with a sense of awe. This temple is built on the Kanduka Hill which is surrounded by the Arabian Sea on three sides The main temple's entrance, also called the 'gopura' stands at 123 feet and you can witness the breathtaking view of the Shiva statue from the top of the gopura. Legend says that the Atma Linga or the Soul of Shiva was the key to invincibility and immortality. Demon King Ravana decided upon acquiring it for which he devoutly prayed to Lord Shiva. Pleased by his devotion, Shiva granted him the Atma Linga, on the condition that it must not be placed on the ground before he reaches Lanka. However, Lord Ganesh and Lord Vishnu tricked him into putting the Linga on the ground, post which it got attached and was rendered immovable. Livid with anger, Ravana tried to destroy the Linga, but the force of his attack only managed to scatter the Linga to different places, which gave rise to many a sacred spot throughout the country, one of them being Murudeshwar. Next, we visited Apsarakonda Waterfall. Literally means ‘pond of angels’ named so in the belief that it is the place of relaxation for angels where they came to bathe and get solace. It is also called the ‘pond of Celestial Nymphs’. Descending from a height of 50 feet, the waterfall forms a natural pond beneath it. Tourists tend to enjoy an inevitable dip in this refreshing pond.
