Tourists allowed to see Jog Falls from alternative viewpoints amid development works
Shivamogga: The district administration has granted tourists access to view Jog Falls from alternative locations except through the main entrance of Jog Management Authority.
The deputy commissioner had recently announced a ban on tourist entry from January 1, 2025 to March 15, 2025 due to ongoing development works aimed at improving tourism infrastructure. However, a press release issued on Sunday clarified that visitors can still enjoy views of the iconic water falls from several other viewpoints, including View Point, Yatri Nivas, Rani Falls, and Mumbai Bungalow.
The number of tourists visiting Jog Falls usually surge in the last week of December, but this year, the footfall had already started to decline even before the ban was enforced.
Dharmappa, Joint Secretary to the Tourism Department, mentioned that barricades have been installed at all alternative locations and security personnel have been deployed to ensure safety and order for the visitors.
