About Ubbalamadugu Waterfalls
Ubbalamadugu Waterfalls, widely known as Tada Falls, is a seasonal forest waterfall located near Tada in Tirupati district, Andhra Pradesh, close to the Tamil Nadu border. Situated within the Eastern Ghats and near the Sri Venkateswara National Park, it is formed by streams descending rocky cliffs into natural pools. Notable for its scenic trek through dense forest and rocky terrain, it attracts trekkers and nature visitors, especially during post-monsoon months when water flow is strongest.
Visitors guide
Visitors can expect a forest trek of approximately 3-4 km from the parking/check-post area to reach the falls, passing through rocky boulders, streams and dense scrub forest of the Eastern Ghats. The waterfall cascades over rocky cliffs into shallow natural pools where visitors wade and bathe when water levels permit. The setting is natural and undeveloped with no major structures, surrounded by forested hills. The final approach involves climbing over boulders and uneven terrain.
