Declared as a wildlife sanctuary, Sharavathi Valley Trek is a true testimony to the tagline of Karnataka Tourism- One State Many Worlds. The sanctuary is filled with Waterfalls, Dense Deciduous forests, rich flora, and fauna and unmatching landscapes and many more. So we at Plan The Unplanned have decided to take you to this wonderland in the best season to witness the beauty at its prime, the Monsoons. The trek involves trekking to the second tallest plunge waterfalls in India, the mighty Jog Falls and not to forget the beautiful landscapes formed by the backwaters of Linganamakki reservoir.

All Meals
We’ll reach the homestay at around 7 AM. We’ll drop off unwanted luggage and freshen up. Have a delicious breakfast at the campsite and head straight for the long trek ahead. The trek initially deceives you with a flat-out grassland with no dense forests. But the landscapes flip pretty quickly, and soon you will find yourselves in the middle of dense forests crossing wide streams of water. Passing through forests in monsoons can be tricky, and one needs to be adept at figuring out paths if the existing trails are washed out. Don’t worry about the experience of trek guides, this shouldn’t be a problem. After about 6 Hours of the trek on such trail, which includes the breathtaking views of the linganamakki backwaters, you will be greeted with the majestic views of Jog Falls.
After capturing the views in your mind and camera, we head back to the homestay for dinner and a campfire.

What’s life without adventure? Isn’t the real purpose of life to travel, to experience new places, and witness the sunrise from new mountaintops? This thought is what united Jatin and Tarun over a cup of chai, in spite of being from two unrelated backgrounds (CA and IT). They knew each other since the time Jatin was helping Tarun learn the ways of the wilderness through weekend treks and outings with another traveling group. Their love for traveling and trekking together motivated them to start something of their own. Thus was born “Plan The Unplanned”, where travel goals come true. Under the Companies Act, Plan The Unplanned is incorporated as Unplanned Journeys Private Limited They started their journey on unsteady ground, much like any other company, but they shared an infatuation for travel and adventure with their customers, which amplified their determination, and thus, Plan the Unplanned family keeps getting bigger every day!
