Jawadhu Hills Snapshot
Jawadhu Hills are part of the Eastern Ghats, located 75 km northwest of Tiruvannamalai. Known for pleasant elevations (approx. 1,000 meters above sea level), scenic ghat roads from Polur, fruit orchards, and seasonal attractions like Beeman Falls, it makes a refreshing contrast to the temple plains.
