  • Planning for Ride to Jogfalls from Mumbai

    Hi Guys
    I am planning for a ride to Jog Falls(Karnataka) from mumbai in the upcoming long weekend. I mean 13,14, and 15th of August. I want your Suggestions on the scenic and safe route to be taken, Climate and other conditions, things to be considered while reaching there and Place to stay.
    One more thing, if any one is planning for the same trip we to can join them for a better trip. I have three riders with me one on FZ, Me on Pulsar 180 and a Bullet Electra.

    Awaiting for your Esteemed Suggestions.

        Jog Falls is the place to be during the rains. Nothing to beat it. To reach Karnataka you can take either the Mumbai - Goa - Karwar - Honnawar - Sagar Route or Mumbai - Pune - Kolhapur - Hubli - Karwar - Honnawar Route. If you wanna enjoy the jungle route you would have to come down further from Honnawar towards Bhatkal and then take the Sagar Route which is the best route as per my experience (Narrow road Full of water falls through out the road. Please take this road only during the day light). By the way Bhatkal is my Native Place so I know quiet a lot about the place. I don't know much about where to stay but Murdeshwar has hotels as it is a tourist spot and Bhatkal is about 20 kms from there from where you take a turn towards Sagar. Let me know if you require any further help.

          Expect very high rainfall on your trip, from southern Maharastra onwards, ride safe and enjoy the scenery!
          Beware of Bread, don't say I didn't warn you!
          More than 98 percent of convicted criminals are bread eaters !
          Statistics show that more than 75 % of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread !
          Bread is known to be extremely addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and given only water, actually begged for bread after just two days !
          Bread has been proven to kill. Scientists have now uncovered alarming evidence that 100% of the people who eat bread will eventually die !

              Thanks Nils!.. Very Informative
              I was planning the Mumbai - Goa - Karwar - Honnawar - Sagar Route but my friends suggested Mumbai - Pune - Kolhapur - Hubli - Karwar - Honnawar Route to avoid two lane traffic but people say that the first route is really Beautiful. None of my friends are ready to take the risk.
              May be i will stick on the the Second route.

                    You have chosen the perfect time to visit Jog.

                    The only possible stay is at Sagara 30kms away from Jog, you will find decent hotels there. Enjoy...ride safe
