Adventure looms large at Yelagiri, with its numerous hiking spots. A
trek by the Jalagamparai waterfalls rewards you with stupefying views of
the mountain and the valley. Attaru River falls from a height of 30 m
and the Murugan temple near the waterfall infuses an ethnic charm to the
beauty of this place.
Another trekking hot-spot in Yelagiri is Swami Malai, the highest peak
soaring to 4388 ft, which promises adventurous trekking routes amidst
dense forests. And when you go hiking, dont miss to take a glance at the
gigantic beehives that hang from the trees.
Velavan Temple, dedicated to Lord Muruga, is placed atop a hillock and
is flanked by a huge statue of Gadothgajan in front. If you want to
have a glimpse of the culture of the region, plan your vacation between
July to August. The local festivals are scheduled for this period and
the city wears a vibrant aura during this time.
Kids would love to go boating in the Punganoor Lake- an artificial
lake excavated in an area of 57 sq. meters. To top it off, the Mughal
garden surrounding the lake offers numerous fun rides for the little
ones.
