Geography & terrain
Jhari Falls lie in the Dakshina Kannada district of Karnataka, 60 km from Mangalore and 35 km from Dharmasthala — the layered waterfall of the Western Ghats, its three tiers and the forest set on the Charmadi ghat's country near the Ujire town.
History & culture
The falls' story runs with the ghat's streams of the region — the cascade of the Netravati's tributaries, with the falls' role in the region's forest lore and the Dharmasthala pilgrims' stop; the falls' modern growth as the offbeat weekend of the Mangalore country, with the trek to the falls' base and the monsoon's drama, gives Jhari its ghat-falls character.
