In oct/ nov 06, we went to Humcha - a Jain Pilgrimage centre and the world famous Jog Falls. We started on 30th morning from Bangalore. Weather was just great as is visible from the pic also. The clouds were covering the whole sky, no where the sun was peeping out.We had our breakfast cum lunch at Kamat Upachar on Tumkur road. We reached Shimoga at around 4 p.m. Shimoga is located about 274 Km. from Bangalore. You need to take Tumkur road(NH 4) from Bangalore and turn left to NH 206 in Tumkur, drive via Shimoga and Sagar towns to reach Jog falls.. Shimoga is a good city to break for some refreshments/staying.
Only good hotel at Shimoga is Hotel Jewel Rock - (pic above). We booked the hotel for 3 days. Our stay at the hotel was quite comfortable. Both South/north Indian food is available here. Even the charges were decent - one day A/C room charge Rs 800/-. What less than this can you expect !!! After getting refreshed we started for Humcha on 30th itself at around 5:30 p.m.
