Bheemanmadavu Falls is one of the best places to visit near Jawadhu Hills. This seasonal waterfall is also sometimes called “Bheema Falls.” It is located in the centre of the reserve forest, 5 km from the settlement of Jamunamarathur. This waterfall is part of the reserve forest that was replanted with fruit-bearing trees and sandalwood trees. There is a popular belief that Bhima, the strongest of the Pancha Pandavas, worshipped the Sun God here. Hence, Beemanmadavu Falls bear his name. While journeying to this picturesque spot in Jawadhu Hills, one can see the surrounding lush, dense forest and the hill’s rustic charm.
