Trek : Hosagadde-Dabbe Falls-Kanoor Fort-Gerusoppa
Eight of us (Me, Harsha, Priya, Vathsa, Krishnaprasad, Manohar, Vishnu and Dileep) had gone on a trek last weekend. The republic day weekend was thus well utilised.
This was a three day trek from Jan 27 to Jan 29. The trek route was Hosagadde-Dabbe Falls-Shaale Mane-Kanoor Fort-Doctor Mane-Gerusoppa. These places are in the vicinity of the Jog Falls. The trek was about 35 kilometers long.
Some of my favourite pictures can be seen below. Clicking on them will enlarge them in the current window itself. Click anywhere to return back! This cool functionality provided by Lightbox JS.
Other than these, I've uploaded a select set of 31 pictures here. Have a look!
The GPS based trek route is shown below (image courtesy Google Earth) .The large blue water body is the Linganamakki Reservoir (on Google Earth, try a "Fly To" with "14,75"). Move the mouse on the red dots to get more info.

Nice shot of the fort you have there.
By the way,, if you happen to go there next time, try to go to foot of the hills ,,, ie,, via the ancient check post,, you can see the old road leading from the fort,, suppose to have linked to the honnavara port.

Dabbe waterfall is located near a place called Hosagadde in Sagar taluk. On the road from Sagar to Bhatkal, Hosagadde lies at a distance of about 20 km from the town of Kargal. From Hosagadde a walk of 6-8 km into the forest, leads one to Dabbe Falls. It is on the way to Bhatkal from Sagar via Talaguppa and Kargal, which is famous for the Jog falls.

The best time to go there is in Jan. After Feb, it becomes dry & hot. It is less scenic. Once it rains, the leaches are there almost till nov- dec. The path also becomes slippery. Try to go in groups, after notifying authorities. Treasure hunters come and try to dig around for gold and idols. They come armed. (This is from local inhabitants there. They themselves are careful nowadays). Also please try to keep the plastic away. Lots of people throw them around. Plastic bags have resulted in the death of cows belonging to farmers & people out there.
There are also lots of forgotten places in history in and around malnad – western ghats. ie, right from karwar-honavar-coorg-mysore. In Coorg,people are very pleasant, friendly, helpful and understand most south indian languages and english/hindi. they are also environment conscious.
One tip for guides is to go to religious places of worship & request for guides. The advantage is you will get a responsible person to guide you.
If you can accomodate time, this is worth seeing, built during the days of Rani Chennabairadevi, the local chieftan (most were women), who earned the respect of even portuguese and was even addressed as ‘Queen of Pepper’.

@Shree, please try to go again. Actually, I sighted something which looked like a fortress faraway from Sharavathi Peak, and enquired my friend, a Catholic Priest, who was traveling with me. He pointed it at history. Also, try to collect home medicines, like cocum for example. They are in plenty and are home grown, mostly. Not likely to be available commercially.

Hello, I am planning to go to dabbe falls on 22-Jan from Jog. Is overnight camping allowed near Dabbe Falls? Can you please share your contact details
January 21st, 2014 - 10:36
Hi Rajesh,
I am not sure if you will be able to camp near the Falls — not due to permission, but due to feasibility. Before you get down, you will need to make an entry at the Gowda’s house. Please enquire there.
