Sharavati

Sharavati rises in Shimoga district in Karnataka and creates the Garsopa Falls, the most spectacular waterfalls in India, commonly known asjog Falls (271 m). The only break in the unbroken watershed of the Western Ghats face is the 13 km wide Palakkad Gap also known as Pal-Ghat. The river Ponnani flowing westward through this gap appears to be a misfit river.
