TADA on a saturday morning...
We had an idea for an one day jaunt to a place around Chennai to over cum the hurting internship. After hours of googling the best venue that we were able to get was the TADA falls. The best reason for choosing tada was, coz it was just 85 kms from chennai and a day was enough for it.
It was a very early saturday for me. As planned we all met at the padi signal. All 4 bikes arrived the signal at 6.30 and we began our way to tada. Tada was exactly 85 kms from chennai. We took the NH 5, which connect Chennai with Kolkatta. It was a part of the Golden Quadrilateral, a wonderful road construction by the Highway dept of India and we all decided to set the road on fire.After riding about 65 kms we took the kalhasti road which is west to the NH 5. We again started to rule the road for about 10-15 kms till we hit the Varadaiah Palem. Then a local over there, steered us the way to the tada falls. The road was fairly good till we traversed the Telugu Ganga. The road after that was atrocious. It wont be fair enough if I call it a road. It was just a path made of rock and sand. Riding my bike was an irksome job in that path. We locomoted our bike for those fierceful 4 kms. Then we reached a small stream of water with depth of just one feet. We cut-through that stream with our bike and then decided to park it.
We then started to trek our way to the falls. We speculated that it was 5 kms for us to trek. On our way we saw a couple of places with stagnant water. We were very fatigue that, we even thought of dropping the idea to reach the falls. But we made up our mind to do it. We had to mount few really big rocks after which we attained our target.
The water was very clean and pure than what we call as mineral water in the city.We spent around 2 hrs in the water and then started back home at around 3.00 pm.
Although we had a deadly journey we were able to enjoy the day at the tada...
