Tada Falls




The "Simmerna" falls, to be featured as a hot spot in the Simmerna guide to South India... where if you're lucky you'll catch these bathing beauties:)

The crew trekking along the river bed, which served as our path.

Aparna found this less traveled hike for us, about 85 km north of Chennai just over the state border in Andhra Pradesh. We used random travel blogs we found online to plan the hike, seeing as how there is no AMC guidebook equivalent. The blogs described "formidable rock formations" and "treacherous steep inclines," however, we found it pretty managable. We hiked up the riverbed and used rock climbing skills when necessary to hoist ourselves through crevices and over large boulders. I must say, I was impressed by Kim & Aparna's natural skills, I think we have found a few new Metro Rock recruits :)
