| Jog Falls : The world famous Jog or Gerusoppa Waterfall which is located northwest of Shimoga city of Karnataka in a hamlet called Jog. The Sharavati river flowing over a rocky bed takes a leap from a height of 292 metres and divides into four smaller distinct falls known as the ‘Raja’, the ‘Roarer’, the ‘Rocket’ and the ‘Rani’. |
| Athirapally Falls : The Athirapally Waterfall is located on the fringes of the famous Sholayar forest ranges of Kerala. About 80 feet high, it crashes through gorges into the Chalakkudy river. |
| Kempty Falls :The Kempty falls is located about 15 kms from Mussorie and 50 kms from Dehradun on the Mussorie-Yamunotri road in Uttaranchal. With water cascading down from an altitude of 4500 feet and splitting into five smaller falls, the Kempty waterfall offers a panoramic view. The name Kempty is probably derived from ‘camp-tea’ as the British would organise their tea parties there. |
|
Kakolat Falls :The Kakolat waterfall which is located about 33.6 kms from Nawada on the Ranchi road in Bihar. The fall is about 150-160 feet and just below it, there is a deep reservoir natural in character. |
