Yelagiri hills is in Tamilnadu at a distance of about 175 Km from Bangalore and is an ideal place for a weekend holiday.
We left Bangalore around 8am from Bangalore to reach Yelagiri hills around 1.30pm.The route we had taken was Hosur-Krishnagiri-Vaniyambadi-Ponneri-Yelagiri.The roads are good and the drive is pleasant.You have a scenic drive from Ponneri to the hills covering 14 hairpin bends.
We had made our reservation for stay at Peters Park which was very comfortable .The rooms are neat and clean and service is excellent.The food quality is really good and service very timely.
Yelagiri hills is not much commercialized and and facilities are limited.There is nothing much by way of sight seeing except Nature Park with musical fountain and boating at Atanavur and Nilavur. However for people who like to go trekking this is a wonderful place.
A word of caution: Yelagiri does not have any Petrol bunks and be sure you have enough fuel
when visiting Yelagiri. The nearest petrol bunk is about 14 km. at Ponneri.
The net connectivity is also very poor and all mobiles do not work here.
Yelagiri is a small hill station with limited facilities but ideally suits people who are looking for a quite weekend.
We visited a temple nearby, and we had to take an auto rickshaw to reach there. The roads were bad. The view from the top of the temple is breath-taking.
