点评:Jhari Falls is one of the major falls in Chikmagalur and is best explored during the months of monsoon. This was sort of our first stop during our Chikmagalur. We parked our cab in the main road and had to take a jeep. It usually costs Rs 400 to rent a whole jeep for 5 and even if you are less number of people, you are expected to pay the full price. We were only 2 people and we luckily got another couple who agreed to share the jeep with us and to split the fare.
We finally booked a jeep for 4 people and started our off roading journey. This must have been one of the most dangerous off-roading experiences of my life and luckily our driver was experienced enough to make us reach safely to the falls. We had to hike for a few hundred metres through the forest to finally reach the falls. The first glimpse of the falls made our jaw drop.
The water was gushing on the rocks in full force and splashing the water to quite a few metres around. It was a challenge to take a pic standing in front of the falls and not get wet. Carrying of raincoats is a must in case you want to protect your clothes from getting wet. You can also carry spare clothes and take a dip at the plunge pool. However, I did not observe any changing rooms, so it might be a challenge for ladies to change wet clothes. Another challenging thing was the crowd, the space being small and the crowd being huge was making it difficult to move around.
This waterfalls was indeed one of our highlights of our Chikmagalur trip and I would highly recommend people to visit it in monsoons. Try to visit it early during the day to avoid crowd and wear shoes with proper grip.

我们最终预订了一辆四人吉普车,开始了我们的越野之旅。这肯定是我一生中最危险的越野经历之一,幸运的是,我们的司机经验丰富,把我们安全送到了瀑布。我们不得不徒步穿过森林几百米,才最终到达瀑布。第一眼看到瀑布,我们惊呆了。
水流汹涌地冲击着岩石,溅起的水花高达数米。站在瀑布前拍照而不被淋湿是一项挑战。雨衣是必须的,以免衣服被淋湿。你也可以带上备用衣物,在瀑布水潭里畅游一番。不过,我没有看到更衣室,所以女士们换湿衣服可能有点难。另一个挑战是人群,空间狭小,人群拥挤,走动不便。
这座瀑布确实是我们奇克马加卢尔之旅的亮点之一,我强烈建议大家在雨季前往。尽量在白天早些时候前往,避开人群,并穿着抓地力好的鞋子。
