Ubbalamadugu Falls, Natural waterfall in Tada, Andhra Pradesh, India.
Ubbalamadugu Falls is a waterfall in Tada, Andhra Pradesh in India where water flows down tiered rock formations into the forest area. The water tumbles in several cascades through narrow rock channels before landing in a stone-surrounded pool at the base.
The formation of the waterfall resulted from erosion of rock walls shaped over long stretches by flowing rainwater. The rocks in this region date from the Archean period and belong to some of the oldest geological formations in India.
Local people know these falls as Tada Falls and use the natural pools for traditional rituals. On certain days families from surrounding villages come here to perform religious ceremonies at the pool near the base.
The path to the waterfall covers roughly 2 kilometers through uneven forest terrain with slippery spots, so sturdy footwear helps. The best time to visit runs from June through November when the waterfall carries the most water and the surroundings stay green.
The water collects at multiple levels in rock pools that visitors can use for cooling off. During the dry season the waterfall shrinks to a small trickle, which shows the seasonal change in the landscape clearly.
