Trip 2 Tada Falls

In train

During the boring study holidays we guys planned 2 visit Tada falls on a weekday.

Everyone started early and reached central station by 8 o clock. Train from chennai central to sulurpet departs at 8.30. We boarded the train and it took 2 hours to reach Tada station.(Ticket fare Rs.11 From central)
When we came out of station many Share auto's approached us and asked Rs750 for dropping us near the Forest gate.
But we Negotiated for Rs.25 per head and after 40mins we reached the forest gate.
(There wont be any frequent bus service to forest gate)

We got the auto driver number for calling him to pick up us after the trekking. Since there will not be any transport facility from there.
Entry fee for each person is Rs.2 and for camera its Rs.50. We haven't paid for camera since there will be no checking inside.

After entering forest gate we walked for around 45mins to reach a small hotel from where the real trekking starts. From the Bridge( which you can see in the picture) we saw lot of fishes and this is the first stream of water which we have crossed.

Towards Falls

Then we came across Mango Pool which is the 1st pool where we took bath and enjoyed a lot. I will never forget this pool because my friend went into the pool with my mobile in his pant pocket and my mobile was fully wet and it got switched off.( Next day my mob worked Nokia roxx)

Then we again started our trekking where we have to cross many water streams and huge rocks.
We came across many struggle and wounds. But we never stopped. We approached towards the falls with regular stops for taking some snaps. 

Iron Bridge

After 1 hour of Trekking from that point we reached the falls. It was an awesome sight since there were no other visitors when we reached the falls. We started to take our showers and yelled a lot since we are the lone visitors. The water was freezing and we enjoyed it. There is another pool near the falls which is much more fresh and awesome than the mango pool. We spent there around 1 hour and took lots and lots of photos. Later we decided to pack up and started our return journey around 3.30. We moved fast since we have to catch the 6 o clock train from Tada to central.

We called the Auto driver for the return journey and we reached the forest gate at 5.30.  At the time auto arrived and we went quickly to station. We took some snacks near the station and got train and reached central by 8.15 and dispersed.

We'll never forget this journey and this is the most adventurous journey in my life. If anyone interested in trekking and loves nature, I bet this place would be a better choice. It will be very economical and at the same time adventurous for the trekkers.
