Холмы в Тамилнаду, Индия
The Javadhu Hills (also Jawadhi, Jawadhu Hills) are an extension of the Eastern Ghats spread across parts of Vellore, Tirupattur and Tiruvannamalai districts in the northern part of the state of Tamil Nadu in south eastern India. The hills separate Vellore, Tirupattur and Tiruvannamalai districts: Tirupattur district, with its towns of Tirupattur, Vaniyambadi and Ambur, lie on the north western side; Vellore district with the city of Vellore and Amirthi forest are located on the North eastern side. and Tiruvannamalai district with the towns of Chengam and Polur are located on the south eastern side. The hills consist of bluish grey granites, with peaks averaging 3,800–4,000 feet (1,300–1,350 m). 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. "The Barahmahal hills to the west are somewhat bare, but the Jawadhi are clothed in verdure to the very summit on the east: towards sunset the whole range puts on a purple tinge like heather bloom. The sharper shadows mark out minor ranges and valleys, which in the midday merge in the mass of the range, and beyond Bommaikuppam, looking from Tirupatur, a silvery cascade may be seen, shining bright in the setting sun.". 8
During the British colonisation of India, the Javadhu Hills appeared occasionally in government gazetteers and manuals, ethnographies, and travelers' accounts. Henry le Fanu, writing in 1883, admired the beauty of the Jawadhi hills. The Indian astronomer Vainu Bappu selected the hills as the site of the Kavalur Observatory (VBO), which began operations in 1967. There are few tourist places near Javadhu Hills; Beemanmadavu waterfalls is one of the most frequented one. Jamanamarathur is one of the larger villages in these hills, populated with around 10,000. With an altitude of 857m, it is the second village in height in Javadhi hills in Tiruvannamali district. One can reach Jamanamarathur, from west – Tirupattur or Vaniyambadi , from east – Polur,
from northeast –Vellore,
and from by South Chengam. Highest peak : 1,400 m.

Холмы Джавадху (также Джавадхи, Джавадху) – это продолжение Восточных Гат, расположенных на территории округов Веллор, Тирупаттур и Тируваннамалай в северной части штата Тамилнад в юго-восточной Индии. Холмы разделяют округа Веллор, Тирупаттур и Тируваннамалай: округ Тирупаттур с его городами Тирупаттур, Ваниямбади и Амбур расположен на северо-западной стороне; округ Веллор с городом Веллор и лесом Амиртхи – на северо-восточной стороне, а округ Тируваннамалай с городами Ченгам и Полур – на юго-восточной стороне. Холмы состоят из голубовато-серых гранитов, высота пиков в среднем составляет 3800–4000 футов (1300–1350 м). Ширина холмов около 80 км, длина – 32 км. Они разделены на восточную и западную части реками Чеяр и Агарам, притоками реки Палар. «Холмы Барахмахал на западе довольно голые, но Джавадху покрыты зеленью до самой вершины на востоке: к закату солнца весь хребет приобретает пурпурный оттенок, словно цветущая вересковая пустошь. Более резкие тени выделяют небольшие хребты и долины, которые в полдень сливаются в единую массу хребта, а за Боммаикуппамом, с видом на Тирупаттур, можно увидеть серебристый водопад, ярко сверкающий в лучах заходящего солнца». 8

Во время британской колонизации Индии холмы Джавадху эпизодически упоминались в правительственных изданиях и справочниках, этнографических исследованиях и путевых заметках путешественников. Генри ле Фану, писавший в 1883 году, восхищался красотой холмов Джавадхи. Индийский астроном Вайну Баппу выбрал эти холмы в качестве места для обсерватории Кавалур (VBO), которая начала свою работу в 1967 году. Рядом с холмами Джавадху немного туристических мест; водопады Биманмадаву – одно из самых популярных. Джаманамаратхур – одна из крупнейших деревень в этих холмах, с населением около 10 000 человек. На высоте 857 м это вторая по высоте деревня в холмах Джавадхи в округе Тируваннамалай. До Джаманамаратхура можно добраться с запада – из Тирупаттура или Ваниямбади, с востока – из Полура, с северо-востока – из Веллора и с юга – из Ченгама. Высочайшая вершина: 1400 м.

Сельское хозяйство на холмах Джавади
На холмах малонаселённо; большинство жителей – представители племен малаяли, хотя присутствуют и другие касты. На своей земле (патта) племена малаяли выращивают разнообразные деревья, включая тамаринд, джекфрут, эмблику лекарственную (гуава), гуаву, гранат, манго, лимон, кокосовую пальму, бананы, рис, саамай и другие культуры. Деревья холмов Джавадхи также дают широкий спектр лесных продуктов, таких как мильеттия pinnata, Smilax regelii и касторовое растение.
Они известны своими плодоносящими деревьями, лекарственными растениями и сандаловым деревом. На данный момент (2012 год) сандаловых деревьев не осталось из-за незаконной вырубки, которая продолжалась на протяжении многих лет.
Доступ
Хребет Джавадху большой и малонаселенный. На многих вершинах и в долинах расположены племенные поселения. Ямуна Маратур – наиболее населенный пункт в этом районе, расположенный в центре.

Из Ченнаи следуйте по шоссе NH4, объезжая Ченнаи и Пунамалле, далее в Аркот и по дороге в Арни. После объезда Арни следуйте по дороге в Полур. Достигнув города Полур, спросите дорогу в Аттимур, а после Аттимура вы увидите указатели на Ямуна Маратур. Погода и дороги очень хорошие благодаря правительству Тамилнада и его департаменту автомобильных дорог, которые поддерживают дороги в хорошем состоянии. Пожалуйста, избегайте вождения ночью или в темное время суток. Безопасное время для поездки – с 6 утра до 5 вечера. После города Полур до Ямуна Маратур 40 км горных дорог, где в основном нельзя встретить ни магазинов, ни людей. Но это захватывающая дорога. Такие места, как водопад Бхиман, стали местом распития алкоголя для туристических групп, поэтому они не очень безопасны для семей, если не обеспечен закон и порядок.
