Fine Saturday, Mylapore, I started my journey towards Javadhu Hills.

Aweosme Mountain ride is what you get in Javadhu Hills. Around 200km journeys from Chennai, Chennai — Ponnamallle — Arcot — Arani — Polur — Jamunamathur

Crossing first tollgate, Sriperumbudur Toll Plaza

Finally reached Polur, Tiruvannamalai. Waiting for my friends👭👬👫. Unfortunately, they didn’t come.

Riding uphills, It was good and peaceful.

Twenty-Five Kilometers riding, going to be more adventurous and peaceful.

It’s a less habituated area, people often use another way around the mountain for traveling

Beautiful place, pure breeze, good for the family ride

Javadhu Hills

25,000 thousand kilometers. I covered 25k kilometer in eight months. Long way to go

Still, 10 kilometers to go. The joy is riding, not the destination

Boating, I reached Komutteri Lake, Jamumathur, going for Boating, He is my driver, Rs. 50 per head, lucky for me, whole boat for me.

He is a neighbor, school children, coming with me for fun. lucky for me, I was alone, I got company.

We went to the center of the lake, a small islands with two entrance, east, and west.

Beautiful, worth for the ride.

Beemanmadavu Waterfall, unlucky for me, drought, dry season, very less rainfall this year.

I slept in the rocks for an hour. then wake and went to Jamunamathur.

Honey, bought half liter pure honey for Rs. 280

Jackfruit bought it for Rs. 80, you could buy it anywhere in the Jamunamathur with fewer bucks. Went to Hometown around 10 pm.

Unfortunately, missed The Vainu Bappu Observatory is an astronomical observatory owned and operated by the Indian Institute of Astrophysics. It is located at Kavalur in the Javadi Hill — source Wikipedia
