In the following passages i am ganna describe ” A Day in TADA “.

This will have the info of how best you can enjoy the unspoiled waterfall TADA. There You will realize the Nature at its Best.<!–[if !supportEmptyParas]–>

Where is it ?

The village TADA is on the border of Andrapradesh and TamilNadu. A journey in NH-5 from chennai will take you to the TADA village. Approximately it is 90kms awy from chennai. From NH-5 take the road leading towards KALAKASHTI. Take this road and travel for another 15 kms you will reach TADA village. Ubalamadagu falls is the Actual name of the place. Get guidelines from the locals and continue the endless road up to the small bridge. On the right side of the bridge you can see a small stream of water going aside. ” That gives a feel of satisfaction cos at least we are able to see a stream of pure natural water after traveling for a long three hours from chennai “.

Then the road to the paradise starts. Check point 1, Paradise is not that easy to feel, u need to bypass so many hurdles. The Road they call it ! Actually Formed by small to medium size in some places slightly large rocks and ordinary stones. I guess it cannot be an artificial path may be the very old water stream path. You can come with ur CAR or Bike. But for the enthus best is your foot. From the bridge you can use your vehicle for about two kilometers. At the end u will end up with a small stream of water. Park your vehicle at this point and start your trek after from this point if it is a four-wheeler.

CAUTION: If you are not a trek-savvy don’t go. you wont find anything interesting. Do not go with children and old people simply they cannot reach the falls.

After this Stream, CHEKPOINT 2, your next phase is in the the lovely woods, singing water streams and hence a lovely wild life.

A kilometer of walk or a ride in your bike will lead to the next CHECKPOINT 3, Park your two wheeler. and here after only mode of travel is WALK …. And Walk..WaLk.

At Check Point 3 you will end up with a Stream of water.. Here after all your journey up to the falls is in parallel to the water stream. Don t take the stream path as it is very difficult to walk against the stream path and that too in a steep rocky surfaces. You can see a small hut close to the stream and huge mango Neem and many more trees will Welcome u. Rest as much time you can and gather your energy and resume the journey Towards Falls.

From this Point the Falls is exactly five kilometers thats what a villager told to us. but real y it is much more than that. Follow the foot path of the predecessors you will end up in the falls.

What do you need to carry ?1. Avoid jeans…. ‘ As u need to travel a long way in the jungle better to be with light weight casuals ‘ 2. Don t carry lot of water … Take a one liter pet bottle.. thats enough your journey after CH3 will be with the water stream. the natural Water is lot lot better than Mineral water which we drink in chennai.3. Carry some medication … with painkiller a standard first aid box.4. After TADA village you cant find a single tea shop.. Nothing will be available.. buy everything there… otherwise you wont get anything .. in the hills.Points to ponder:1. It is best to go in a Bike from chennai …. As you can reach up to Ch. pt.3 … And then only a trek of 7kms to falls. Preferable speed after CH.Pt.1 is 5 – 10 k ms. Drive slowly. 2. In CAR you can reach up to CH.Pt 2… After that only mode is walk.3. Timing is a very crucial part, As we started very early and that too in the wrong season we were not able to reach the Falls. We stopped in between enjoyed the rest of the day there. SO plan to best utilize the nature.

From Chennai Start Before 7.Am so that you will reach TADA village by 9Am and to the falls by 11 Am. So that You can enjoy the whole day. And start your return journey by 5 Pm. It is better to go early and spend the mid day time fully in the water.

IDEAL TIME to Visit?Winter season is the best time to visit… preferably dec/jan/feb/. Don t Go in summer. Always go in a group as it is a very remote place and that too inside a forest, you may feel in secured if u are alone. <!–[if !supportEmptyParas]–> A Day in TADA has been the best outing i have ever been. It was full adventure Party. We don t need to to be a Irwin a crocodile hunter to do adventure. A trek to TADA is the BEST. Thats all i could Say…..<!–[if !supportEmptyParas]–> Then Enjoy to the Fullest and Keep smiling.
