| Tada Falls |
This month, [on
the last Saturday - 30 July 2016] we have decided to go to Tada Falls /
Ubbalamadugu Falls in Andhra Pradesh.
If you wanna join
us, after assuring yourself that you are medically fit for the same, mail me at
rufusonline@gmail.com rightaway!
However, this trek
can't be done by children and the elderly. If you are above 23 years of age,
and medically fit for a daunting yet exciting and fun-filled trek, decide now.
We also plan on
camp fires and campfire cooking too!
Well, Tada Falls
is located 92 km from Chennai, in Varadaiahpalem mandal of Chittoor district on
the border of Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh.
Adding thrill to
the excitement is the fact that, the falls are located in quite a dense forest
called Siddulaiah Kona. Popular for its trekking, climbing and picnicking, the
terrain that surrounds the falls includes rocky hill formations and lush forests
interspersed with a number of streams.
As soon as you
enter the forest you need to cross one small bridge. One can witness the
crystal clear water throughout the journey. Initial trek for about 1.5 km is
easy and there is a stream beside Shiva temple on the way to the falls. The
path to the falls runs beside the stream. Visitors encounter the first tier of
the falls which is a beautiful place amidst thick forest and rocky formations
with a pool of water. The second tier of the falls is more beautiful amidst
serene location, but it demands tough trek through steep boulders.
Last ATM point,
snacks/ water purchasing shops are at Tada town. There are frequent buses and
auto to Varadaiahpalem from Tada.
Note: This trek
can't be done by little children and elder persons.
