Places:
From Wiki:
JOG FALLS -
Jog Falls, Gerosoppa Falls or Joga Falls is the second highest plunge waterfall in India located near Sagara taluk, Shimoga district in the state of Karnataka. It is a segmented waterfall which, depending on rain and season, becomes a plunge waterfall. The falls are a major tourist attraction and is ranked 131th in the world by the waterfall database. They are also known as the Gersoppa Falls or Jogada Gundi.
The falls are located on the Uttara Kannada and Sagara border.

HONNEMARADU:
Honnemardu derived its name from the Honne tree. However, the literal meaning of Honnemardu is Golden Lake. This is perhaps a reference to the fact that Honnemardu is located on the backwaters of the Sharavathi river.

It is in Sagara taluk, Karnataka about 35 km from Sagara on the way to Jog Falls, 12 km from Talaguppa and 392 km from Bangalore. With reservations, visitors in groups of at least 12 can stay overnight, with facilities for food, shelter and equipment rentals nearby.

NITTUR HANGING BRIDGE -

Nagara Fort -
Nagara is a historic village in the Shimoga district of the state of Karnataka, India. It is 17 kilometres (11 mi) from Hosanagara or 84 kilometres (52 mi) from Shimoga. This was called "Bidanur (Bidanoor)" or "Bidnur (Bidanoor)" earlier during the 16th century, this was the last capital city of Keladi rulers. Nagara was resided by an independence activist by the name of Sripathy Rao Baliga (1914–2003) who continued to work for the welfare of the village in the post independence era.

In 1763, Hyder Ali, Sarvadhikari of Mysore captured this fort and called "Hydernagar" or "Hydernagara" after his name "Hyder".

Shivappa Nayaka palace, fort, Devaganga tank, Neelakenteshwara temple and Gudde Venkataramana Swamy temple are worth visiting. The fort is built on a small hill, beside a lake. The fort has a system to circulate water around it for safety.

On the hill, within the fort, there are Darbar Hall (King's Court), remains of a palace, two tanks called Akka Thangi Kola (Tanks of two sisters), and a cannon. Devaganga tank is a cluster of seven tanks for bathing. Nagara in Kannada language literally means city. The place is amidst green thick forests which are giving way to urbanisation and eventually to deforestation.

My Take:
Jog was actually not planned, but since we were so near to the falls from our stay(around 5-6km) we went there. No much water. but the view was beautiful.
Honnemaradu was too peaceful and calm, we just loved it. The boat ride was superb and refreshing. Thanks to the guy BTW he didn't even take money from us.
Nittur hanging bridge was beautiful as we had seen in GoPro Man's video. We enjoyed it and spent a lot of time there.
Nagara fort or should I say Green fort? No words for the beauty.
