We started early morning from chennai in 2 cars.
The roads are lengthy and lonely. We went to Vellore. Had breakfast at Saravanabhvan.
Then, we drove to Amirthi Forest. We can ask the local people for the path.
Amirthi forest has a falls, a river and a mini zoo. First zoo comes.
As this is not much popular, there is no crowd.
Zoo has some creatures. After zoo, we walked to the falls.
Oh Nooooooo.
There is no water. :-(
This is the situation in most of the hill stations in tamilnadu.
We stole all the treasures of nature. To see the empty falls is so sad.
We climbed the falls and started to find the root of the falls.
It was a nice walk to go on the stones and sand. But, some local people told that it is
too far to reach the root of the falls and there is no water in the root too.
:-(
So, we returned to the zoo and found that there is river, right side to the zoo.
cool :-)
We went aside to the stream and found a small pond of the river.
It was not so nice and clear water as Tada. but, this is also a face of nature.
Why not to explore it?
We played a lot in the muddy water.
Raji and Raghav brought delicious food for us. Finished lunch and returned to cars.
started back to chennai. Returned at 7.00 pm.
