Yelagiri Hills · Tamil Nadu · 1,100 m

3 hours from Bengaluru, 14 bends up, and about 10 degrees cooler.

The plains, this region. Not a view from the hotel.

01 · The bends

Fourteen hairpins, and the air changes.

  • The plains fall away behind you.
  • Windows down. It is already cooler.
  • Forest on both sides now, and mist if you are early.
  • The last bend, and the gate.

A ghat road in this region, for the light. Not the road itself.

06 · Around

The lake, the trek, the temple.

Everything worth driving up for is within a few minutes of the hotel. Distances are being measured and will be printed here, not guessed.

  • Punganur Lake

    The lake in the middle of the valley, with boating and a small park around it.

    Go early. The boats fill by mid-morning on a weekend.

  • Yelagiri Nature Park

    A landscaped park with a musical fountain and a children’s play area.

    An hour is enough.

  • Swamimalai Trek

    The walk up to the highest point on the hill, through shola forest.

    Start before seven. Carry water. It is about two hours up.

  • Velavan Temple

    The Murugan temple on the hill, and the view from its steps.

    Footwear comes off at the gate. The stone is hot by noon.

  • Thrill Valley

    The adventure park: zip line, rope course, quad bikes.

    Best for teenagers and anyone who still enjoys a harness.

  • Birds Park

    A small aviary near the lake.

    Twenty minutes, and usually paired with the lake.

07 · Getting here

Two roads up, and they meet at the foot of the hill.

From Bengaluru, down the highway through Hosur and Krishnagiri. From Chennai, past Vellore and Ambur. Both turn off at Vaniyambadi, and the fourteen bends start at Ponneri.

  • By car

    Take NH 44 and leave near Vaniyambadi or Tirupattur, then the ghat road up. The climb has fourteen hairpin bends. Take it slowly, and take it very slowly after rain.

  • By train

    Jolarpettai is the nearest major junction and is on the Chennai–Bengaluru line. From there it is a taxi up the hill. The desk can arrange one if you tell them the train.

  • By bus

    State buses run to Yelagiri from Tirupattur and Vaniyambadi. They are slow and they are cheap, and on a Sunday evening they are full.

Schematic, from published town coordinates, and spaced so the names read. Not a survey and not for navigation: the buttons above open the hotel in Google or Apple Maps, which is the pin to drive to. Distances are the hotel’s own published figures and are being checked.
