Kona falls

Kona Falls (Kailasakona waterfalls) aka Kone Falls its been an one of the best falls around Chennai. Its an nice place to go for trekking, the views we get from their is so natural.

How to get in there?

As we started our journey from our home   respectively, we all friends met in Puzhal, and we started our journey the route we followed was Puzhal - Periyapalayam - Uthukotai -Kona falls.

The route is pretty simple to go, as there are not complex ways. As we all are going for the first time, We actually used Google Maps to get in there ;)

The locals are friendly with us, don't hesitate to ask for the routes.

Travelling to our Journey

As i'm an Chennaite i've been living in an City, When we crossed Periyapalayam the views we got was extra-ordinary that we cant see in cities.

On the way we'd see lot of places try to spend some time in there, Keep sometime for those.

Ah? Yeah! This road looks so fun to drive, from this road it'd take some couple of minutes then we'd reach our destination. "Be cautious there would be little little bumps"

Parking for Toursits, "No Charge" for parking.

Temples in Kona Falls

Start Exploring

Near the temple itself there is an falls, the water comes from 20ft above its so chill and tastes good too.  The falls wouldn't be crowded it felt good.

As i didn't took the photo good, tree was blocking the view of an falls, It looks so good in an real view.

If you came with family you can Have fun over there, and you can have some foods there.

If you wanna go for trekking, there'd be an sign board an you can start trekking, we couldn't find the way where to start treeking, and we asked local people, for the way.

Have to follow the route what mentioned in an above photo "For Trekking -->"

BE CAREFUL with some local peoples they ask money from you for trekking, don't give to them. WE have to pay only for getting into the falls, per ticket costs 10 only. Don't ever be scammed by local peoples, lol they were asking money for trekking also!

BE CAREFUL with arrogant monkeys they give lot of troubles to you, only when you've soemthing to eat. lol from us they got cakes and bajji's what we kept for eating.

When you started to trek you can see lot of sceneries, Everything looks so natural & colorful. The view what we get is breath-taking everyone would love it!

Trek for 30 minutes and finally we will see an nature made swimming pool, the water was so chill as we went pretty late eventhough we all went in there to have fun in there. We all took risk and dived in there its preety deep in mid of the pool, in fronside its normal.

We all enjoyed alot in there, we had lot of funs over there. And we planned to go there next time also. Its way better than Tada(Vardhapalyam) falls.
