Shivamogga, located in Karnataka on the banks of the Tunga River, is an ideal destination to experience the beauty of nature. It is often referred to as the “gateway to Malnad” as it leads to the hilly regions of the Western Ghats. Blessed with natural beauty, this lesser-known hill station is a treasure of Karnataka. Five major rivers, namely Tunga, Sharavathi, Kumudavath, Tungabhadra, and Varada, flow through the city, adding to its charm. Shivamogga is also known as the “rice bowl of Karnataka” due to its fertile soil and the presence of numerous rivers. It is renowned for tourist attractions such as Jog Falls, Kodachadri, Dabbe Falls, Agumbe, Gudavi Bird Sanctuary, Kundadri, Madhugiri Fort and Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary.
