Skywatch Friday - Jog Falls, India

When Jog falls comes roaring down the hills in Western Ghats in monsoon, you can not see the sky.

The area will be mist filled and you will see an array of beautiful rainbows. You can see the glory of the falls when the mist clears. This is only during the monsoon months of July and August.

On other months, it is trickle down the huge rocky precipice. With blue sky in the background it is still beautiful as water tumble down.

Jog Falls is second highest water fall in Asia after Nokhakali falls in Cherrapunjee, Meghalaya, India.
