Yelagiri Hills – Good weekend getaway for people from chennai andBangalore.

Yelagiri is a hill station in Vellore district of Tamil Nadu, India. Located at an altitude of 1,110.6 metres above Mean Sea Level.
It is about 150 km from Bangalore and 250 km from Chennai.
Visited this place with friends. It was motorcycle trip from chennai. If you are not seeking more entertainment but a peaceful nature, you can try this.


We started at 5:30 AM, the ride was excellent as we took Poonamalee High Road out of the city to Ponamalee Town and after that Bangalore highway towards Vellore.
just before ranipet toll , there is a Gurvinder Punjabi Dhaba. It’s a asli Punjabi Khana. Items to try here are Roti, dal makhani, Chenna Masala, Okra Fry, Dal and Egg Burji. Try lassi I bet you will love it.



There are quite a number of resorts in Yelagiri and most of them come with a stay and food option.We stayed at King’s Park, which we found to be very good.



Places to visit :

  • Swami Malai, the highest peak

  • Punganur Lake

  • Sri Mangalam Temple

  • Jalagamparai Waterfalls.
