Historical roots

Shivamogga district's Malnad region has been a zone of dense forest, agrarian biodiversity and cultural distinctiveness that has maintained its character through successive historical periods. The development of coffee cultivation by Kodava planters and the systematic exploitation of the forest resources have shaped the modern economic identity of the region, while the traditional communities of the Malnad maintain their relationship with the forest.

Connectivity

Shivamogga Town railway station on the Talguppa branch line. NH-169 road connectivity. Shivamogga Airport has domestic connectivity. Approximately 270 km from Bengaluru.

Seasonal context
🍂Sharad Ritu — Kartika

Jog Falls is most spectacular during and immediately after the monsoon (July-October) when the Sharavathi river carries maximum water, creating a thunderous four-tiered drop of 253 metres. The coffee harvest season (November-February) is the most economically significant period. Ugadi and Dasara are major festivals. The Shivamogga area receives extremely heavy monsoon rainfall.

BO
