Reviewed By DrValliappan - Coimbatore, India
This water fall is situated, about 3 hours by road from Chennai, with about 1.5 KM trek up the hill, almost near Tirupati. Virgin forest and travel by two wheeler and trekking is very popular. Absolute silence and sin set or sunrise can be excellent time. The falls shimmers down like Silver Cascade.

I am most frquently going to Tada waterfalls. Recently my kids learn swimming there only. I am really happy, morning 8 am opening . I recommend come asap. I don't recommend dont visit on weekends. In this covid season many members visiting so its polluted, but mon-fri few members only visiting. After bike/car parking walk atleast 1 km. Here a checkdam available. Swim there 365 days water flowing in this dam, only 5 meters height only . Next optionally go to main waterfalls Here Aug-Feb highly recommended. Its good. I recommend with family members.

Reviewed By AkashMaurya - Bengaluru, India
We traveled to Horsley Hils from Bangalore. After doing some research on Google we found the it can be done in 1 day. We started our journey from Bangalore early morning at 5 AM and we were able to reach there at 10 AM which includes 2 tea breaks. As soon as we reached we head towards the Horslay hills zoo cum garden. The entry ticket was Rs.10 and were able to see all the points in just 2 hours. There is a restaurant in the zoo area which a small but impressively servers good local food. We had lunch and then head towards view point which is not even 1 km from zoo. Entry is free to the view point and 1 more hour can be spent during good weather. We started head back to Bangalore at 4 PM and reached Bangalore by 8 PM. I highly recommend this place for a weekend getaway from Bangalore. One can stay for a night for peaceful weekend or just a day visit will be enough to explore this place. This is not a crowed place so if you are looking for a peaceful location to spend a weekend in some isolation give a visit to this place .
