3. Talakona Falls, Andhra Pradesh
Located in the Nerabailu village of Chittoor District and standing 270 feet tall, this is the highest waterfall in this southern state. It is of religious significance due to the close proximity of several temples, the most famed of which is the Tirupathi in neighbouring Tamil Nadu (58 km away).
The Talakona forests are home to some of the most endangered species in India, such as the porcupine, mouse deer, panther, Chital and Golden Gecko. There are several trekking routes, of different levels of difficulty, leading to the summit of the hill. A 240 metre long canopy walk about 40 metres in height, is a thrilling experience for adventure seekers.
