This is Jog Falls, Shimoga, Karnataka

Been there many times, my father even shot a movie song here. After a while the deafening sound becomes soothing. Stayed in colonial bungalows & also saw the British era hydro plant which was still working after 100 years. Great memory.

This is jog falls, but why are govt failing to aggressively promote these type of places. We as nation fail miserably in tourism. Even today Indian tourism is only delhi agra and jaipur?
