Jog falls in the rainy season is majestic and should not be missed. Bhadra Wildlife sanctuary is also a good place to look for wildlife and do a safari - the kids will love it. That apart, there are many small places in and around Shimoga that can be explored - Mattur, Guli Guli Shankara temple, Sacred Heart Cathedral, etc.

Shimoga, Karnataka, is a hidden gem for nature and culture enthusiasts. Known for its stunning landscapes, including the majestic Jog Falls and lush greenery, it's a haven for outdoor lovers.

Shimoga's rich cultural heritage, evident in its historic temples and vibrant local markets, adds to its charm. The hospitality of the locals makes the experience even more memorable. For a blend of natural beauty and cultural richness, Shimoga is a must-visit destination.

Shimoga is the best place for stay food is good. But if you ate traveling in other state vehicle it's not the best place to go. I got a very bad experience in Gandhi Bazar road were I parked and went for shopping. One local guy purposely came and hit my car and made a big mess and some 50 people surrounded and damaged my car. After police came every body ran away. So pls be careful when driving inside shimoga.

A small town with well laid out roads. The town planner should plan placing direction boards along road junctions, for the benefit of travelers. Gandhi park which is a tourist spot could have been better maintained, a parking lot also could assist folks visiting the park. I could not visit the Lion safari as it had closed for the day. The drive to Jog falls is simply awesome. The scenic beauty enthralls and the road is a pleasure to drive. Breakfast at Sagar is a good option, the hotel I stopped at served a scrumptious meal! (pardon me for not recollecting the name of the hotel)

The drive to Shimoga and further to Jog Falls is a great experience, except a few small patches which need to be done up ! The hills with its vegetation is quite lovely and Jog Falls is so very beautiful.
