TADA - As Surprise as it Sounds!!

TADA Falls is located near the place called TADA in Chittoor district. Tada is a relatively little
known tourist destination in AP. It is known for its waterfall (Locally called as Ubbalamadugu
Falls),hillocks and greenery. It is ideal for hiking, trekking and picnics. It is around 85 km from
Chennai and 30 odd km from Srikalahasti.

To reach the falls one must go through the village Varadaiahpalem, about 12 kilometers away,
of which only 7 kilometers is paved. During Maha Shivaratri transport services are provided by
APSRTC from the village Varadaiahpalem. SUVs or some vehicles with high ground clearance
are best suited for the paved road. Even one can hire local auto and reach the forest check post.

To reach the actual waterfall you should trek for around 3 km from forest check post.There is
limited guidance, in the form of arrow marks, provided for the hike. It is accessible only by
physically fit people.

After 1.5km you will find a stream beside Shiva temple. Make sure that you follow
the stream until you reach the top tier of the falls. Actually there are 2 tiers. Most
of the people wont go for top tier because one has to trek tediously and need to cross
the steep boulders. It was most difficult part of the trek. Trail is very steep. But after
seeing the mighty TADA falls all our pain vanished. It is an amazing place to hangout
with your best pals.Be careful..! because the top tier pool is very deep. According to
the local people it is 40 feet deep.
