Exploring Javadi Hills September 17 & 18

EJH - is definitely worth more than a weekend getaway if you love to explore prehistorical signifigant places and check out the Scenic Nature Views!
Javadi Hills
 The Javadi Hills are a range of hills, one of the largest in the Eastern Ghats, in Vellore District, in the northern part of the state of Tamil Nadu in southeastern India. About 50 miles (80 km) wide and 20 miles (32 km) long, they are bisected into eastern and western sections by the Cheyyar and Agaram rivers, tributaries of the Palar. They consist of bluish gray granites, with peaks averaging 3,600–3,800 feet (1,100–1,150 m). Their steep southeastern flanks are forested with sandalwood. The hills are sparsely populated; grains, legumes, and oilseeds are the chief crops. They are noted both for their fruit bearing trees and for their sandalwood.
