Shivamogga·
TOUR RATING
New on Evynx

Fixed-departure Shivamogga circuit - Jog Falls, elephant camp, island shrine, heronry.

About this tour

A three-day Shivamogga circuit on set dates - a shared coach and a fixed departure, across a district that packs more variety per kilometre than almost anywhere in Karnataka. It takes in Jog Falls, where the Sharavathi drops 253 metres in four cataracts, the Sakrebailu camp where forest department elephants are bathed in the Tunga each morning, the 1561 stellate Aghoreshwara temple at Ikkeri, the boat crossing through flooded forest to the Sigandhur island shrine, and the painted-stork heronry of Mandagadde. A fixed-date group departure for travellers who want the whole of Shivamogga's variety in one easy weekend.

Highlights

  • Sigandhur Chowdeshwari - Shakti shrine on a reservoir island, reached by boat through flooded forest
