One might not expect such a beautiful place nearby Chennai. But there exists a beautiful hill station called Javadhu hills. A perfect place for riders to go, as it has several hairpin bends approx.37 bends and scenic view.
“Riding becomes less tiring and easy when you enjoy the ride and the beauty of nature.”
ABOUT JAVADHU
It is about 280kms away from Chennai. The javadhu hills spreads across the parts of vellore and Tiruvannamalai district in the northern parts of the state of Tamil Nadu. There are two places that one must visit i.e. the Beemanmadavu waterfall and the Kavalur observatory. These two exotic spots attracts tourists.
You might have read my blog of Yelagiri where I have described about my journey to yelagiri. It was a paradise. But this is the next level of it. Javadhu is less crowded as few people knows about this place. While Yelagiri is a popular tourists spot, which is crowded all the year round. One of the disadvantage of Javadhu hills is that there is no hotel to stay. You can watch the videos in my YouTube channel, the link is given below.
JOURNEY TO JAVADHU
It was around 6 a.m. in the morning me along with three friends started the journey. We took the NH.45 road for javadhu hills. We were just riding continuously and after riding for around 6 hrs we reached to the base of the hills and the actual riding was suppose to start that is climbing the hill. Climbing to the hill wasn’t really difficult because there were few vehicles plying on the road.
On the entrance of the hill there is a checkpost, there sometimes checking is done but not always. Since it is a reserved forest and sandalwood is found, so for the illegal smuggling of sandalwood checking is done for four wheelers. Hardly checking is done for two-wheeler, for us the checking was not done.
So, we were enjoying the ride and the hills look yellowish and slightly brown because of leaves of the trees and the view was mesmerising, so clicked some pictures on the way. We reached the top of the hill after riding for around 2hrs.
And then we directly went on to visit the waterfall, but unfortunately there was no water as it was dry season. And from there we directly went to the kavalur observatory but the officials didn’t allow us to enter. One can only enter the observatory on saturday from 7-9 p.m. and when we enquired them about the hotels nearby to stay for a night, they said it’s few kilometers away from there around 30-40kms.
As we were hungry at the same time we had our lunch at one of the local restaurant. And started to go back to Chennai.
