Fact Check-

A reverse image search on one of the key frames led us to Loksatta’s video on Youtube posted on 8 August 2019. The caption states, “The panoramic view of the Jog waterfalls in Karnataka.” The description states that it is the Jog Falls, which is a popular tourist destination in Karnataka.

A Facebook page named “What Hot Bangalore” posted this video on 26 September 2019 with the caption “Jog falls cannot be more beautiful than this. The right time of the year to witness India’s second highest Plunge Waterfall. It is now or next year kinda scene. By Murali Mohan.”

We searched about this waterfall on Google Maps and found that the video is indeed from Jog Falls, especially the features of the waterfall and the infrastructure at the spot.
