The next state over from Tamil Nadu is Andra Pradesh. To get there you cross the Gahts, or the Western Gahts. They are full of forests and streams and pools an waterfalls.
My buddy Padu thought that we should hire a car, pack a lunch and go up country. The roads got smaller and rougher and 2 km after leaving the car we came to the boulder spill in the canyon. In the 2 or 3 km up the canyon there was only one short part where a rope came in handy.
At the end was a beautiful pool of crystal clear water, and around that curve was a waterfall. We had a terrific afternoon splashing and playing in the pool. I made them all be good campers and pick up and pack out the litter, much to the disappointment of the monkeys. Then a good hike back down, boulder jumping, and deep snooze in the car back to Chennai.
