Which Cab Should You Choose for Jog Falls?
Groups visiting for the monsoon flow often combine this with Murudeshwar or Sringeri, making an Innova Crysta or Tempo Traveller a practical choice.
Sedan
Best for: 1–4 passengers, couples, light luggage, budget-focused one-way or round trips.
Ertiga
Best for: 4–6 passengers, small families, moderate luggage.
Innova Crysta
Best for: families wanting extra cabin space, senior travellers, multi-day trips, more luggage.
Tempo Traveller / Urbania / Mini Bus (9–25 seater)

One-Way & Round Trip Options
Book a one-way cab from Bangalore to Jog Falls when you only need the drop. A one-way drop suits travellers continuing onward to Murudeshwar or Gokarna.
A round-trip cab keeps the same vehicle and driver for the return journey and any sightseeing in between. A 2-day round trip is the most popular way to see the falls comfortably with a night halt.
Multi-day round trips are billed on total kilometres run plus driver bata per night halt (minimum daily km applies as per the vehicle chosen) — request a specific quotation for your dates.
