Exploring a new place - Kamsi - while on the travel to Jog Falls

It is thrilling when you encounter a place of scenic beauty on the way to other travel destination.
We just had a similar experience. We had a travel plan to see Jog falls early monsoon. As planned we were heading towards our destination.
We were just admiring the nature while travelling. Scanty rains and sometimes heavy showers and then suddenly we see a beautiful place. We could not resist stopping over and exploring the place.
We stopped to see. The river side connecting two villages by a suspension bridge. A beautiful point to witness all greenery around from the bridge. The pics below speaks all what I want to say.

Adventurous people can explore the place by boating as well. The place is Kamsi on the way to Jog Falls. The Saravathi Suspension bridge connects the two villages.

We resumed our journey to Jog Falls after spending few hours at the Saravathi Bridge and admiring the place.

It was just a few minutes of drive to arrive at the most spectacular and second highest waterfall of India. When we arrived at the sight, the place was fully covered with fog. We had to wait for the fog to clear to get a clear picture of the falls. Its really wonderful to get such a peculiar view of the waterfalls. Saravathi river water gushing down the rocky bed is very spectacular to see. Check out the pics below to know. Early monsoon, the flow is not so heavy but its not worthless also.

Gokak - a place of Worship & Recreation......

Mahalingeshwar temple is one of the ancient temples in Karnataka.

It was built in 6th century along the banks of Ghataprabha river. The temple is the masterpiece of the ancient sculpture and now belongs to archaeological department of the state. It lies in Belgavi taluka head ie Gokak.

You get the most spectacular view of "The Niagara waterfalls of Karnataka" so called most popularly, from this temple area. The actual name of the waterfall is Gokak falls. Although the waterfall is perennial but its spectacular to see it during and post monsoons by just sitting at the benches in the temple vicinity or from the green garden around.

This place also has one of the oldest man made wooden bridge, one can say "the hanging bridge" which locals use for daily commuting between villages. Its adventurous to cross the river from this bridge. Its interesting to note that the science of cable bridges is nothing new, our old generation already knew it. Although they didn't have the modern technology, but the basic science is the same.

The base of the water fall has the oldest hydro electric plant which supplies electricity to the most ancient and the only yarn mill in India. Its the best spiritual as well as recreational place for young to old people.

My personal advice would be: if you have a chance then don't miss visiting this place at least once in your lifetime.

Guys see you soon with another travel experience. Keep visiting and get cheered with more travel places & update your travel diary...
