Agumbe and Joggi Gundi Falls

Aug 2nd 2009
On Sunday, we vacated the base camp at hebri around 7:30AM. We ate our breakfast(Buns, Idli,Vada, Neer Dosa, etc) on the way. Reached agumbe sunset point. Lots of monkeys were around. The view was awesome. We spent 30 minutes over there, ate Ice cream, and pineapple with salt and chilli powder.

We crossed agumbe, reached the route to JoggiGundi falls. It was raining, we all prepared ourself to face the leech, few applied tobacco powder with coconut oil, few applied salt on legs and arms, and few were generous and decided to feed the leech. As I and Elango had been to joggi gundi falls once, we didn't take any guide. We entered into the forest, there were lot of trails. After a kilometer, we took a trial and ended up in the main road. We came back on the same trail, saw a crab on the way, tried another trail, and ended up to another spot along the sita river. It was a fantastic spot. Spent almost an hour over there.


Came back from that spot, finally found the right trail, walked across all the big logs on the way, and reached the joggi gundi falls. It was small falls, but lot of force in the water. Denoy explored the way to reach the small end of the falls. We all went to that spot, felt the awesome water force, It was like natural jacuzzi :) One had to really take the support of the rocks in both the hands and legs, otherwise the water will take you along the sita river.
