Yelagiri  hills,  is  an  idyllic  place  for  a  short  holiday.  Green  hills  and  picture  post-card  scenery  greets  you  here.  It  is  called  the  queen  of  hill  stations  and  is  the  most  pristine  and  unpolluted  among  the  hill  stations  in  Tamil  Nadu.  Yelagiri  Hills  is  a  backward  area  with  few  glaring  developments  like  cottages  and  farm  houses,  yet  a  place  that  has  maitained  its  'remote'  label.

The  government  is  trying  to  promote  Yelagiri  as  a  tourist  place.  But  now,  apart  from  the  lake,  there  is  not  much  for  the  regular  tourist.  But  the  view  in  and  around  the  hills  is  captivating  enough  to  last  a  lifetime.  Jalagamparai  water  falls  is  a  5  km  trek  from  Yelagiri  downhill.  Its  a  tough  trek,  but  the  view  from  the  sides  of  the  mountain,  of  the  valley,  is  truly  rewarding.  The  Javad  range  of  hills  run  parallel  to  Yelagiri;  the  land  is  sandwiched  between  these  two.

Click  to  ZoomThe  towns  in  Yelagiri  hills  are  Athnavur  and  Nilavur.  Athnavur  is  the  best  place  to  stay  and  plan  your  trip.  Some  good  quality  cottages  and  hotels  are  available  here.  Also,  this  is  the  last  stop  with  traces  of  modernisation.  The  next  town  (a  settlement  rather)  is  Nilavur.  Here  the  place  is  full  of  agricultural  land  and  vegetable  and  rose  farms.  It  will  be  an  interesting  detour  to  visit  these  farms.  The  people  here  are  friendly.
