It was in the April 2014 when we had just started our riding group and wanted to kick start with a new place. Finally some one came up with Venkatagiri and the "Rebel Riders of Chennai (RRC)" planned their first ride. We assembled near Anna Nagar west but terminus and were waiting for all those who had given RSVP in Facebook. Finally we started our ride one hour beyond schedule after a briefing on general biking hand signals and group discipline. Venkatagiri is 140km from Chennai and we went through a slightly round about yet scenic route Nagalapuram-SriKalahasthi-Venkatagiri. We had our break fast in and had innumerable unscheduled breaks as everyone started having tea,and soft drinks as soon as we stopped to check if the group was intact.
Finally we reached Venkatagiri by 1300hrs and I need not explain what would be the temperature in AP in summer. Here came the surprise. No one knew about a water falls in Venkatagiri. We tried to converse with the little Telugu we knew and managed to get information on the route. In the mean while few had gone to get lunch for the rest of the group and we all started of to the water falls by 1400hrs. Finally reached the entry point to the forest and that is the place where the tarmarc ends.
