Varapoha Falls

Varapoha Falls

Vajrapoha Falls is on the Mandovi River in the hilly surroundings of the Jamboti forest in the Belgaum District of Karnataka, India.

Location

From Jamboti, travel four kilometers beyond Chapoli and cross the Mandovi River twice (as there is a small hill in between) and proceed to an elevated flat hillock. Here the Mandovi River winds and then takes a jump down from a height of about 60 meters. [cite web
