A Special trip to Nagalapuram Falls
Nagalapuram is a Mandal Headquarter in Tirupati district of the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh. It is the mandal headquarters of Nagalapuram mandal in Srikalahasti revenue division. This town is home to Vedanarayana Temple, where the presiding deity Vishnu is in the form of Matsya, the first incarnation of Dasavatara.
Nagalapuram Falls is a waterfall which attracts many tourists. It offers a
great trekking opportunity as you go into the forest in the Eastern Ghats. The trek is very scenic and one can see streams along the trek route. There are 3 waterfalls you come across and each of them has a pool next to it. The water is very clean and refreshing.
Trekkers can visit the trekking route which is about 4 km in length and has views of three waterfalls. Paid parking facilities are available at the beginning of the trek.Due to its proximity to Chennai, large number of people visit the waterfalls each year and this has started taking a toll on the environment around the trek which is now heavily littered with waste left
by trekkers.
The third waterfall, which is last in the series, has a deep pool which should not be explored without adequate safety equipment such as life jackets and due to negligence this has resulted in several drownings at this pool.
