YELAGIRI - TAMIL NADU
Yelagiri (Tamil: [jeːlaɡiɾi]) is a hill station located in the newly formed Tirupattur district of Tamil Nadu, India, situated off the Vaniyambadi-Tirupattur road.Located at an altitude of 1,110.6 metres above Mean Sea Level and spread across 30 km2, Yelagiri Hill (also spelt Elagiri Hill at times) is surrounded by orchards, rose gardens, and green valleys.Yelagiri is a branch of Annamalai Hills.
Yelagiri or Elagiri is a small hill station located in between the towns of Vaniyambadi and Jolarpettai (Tamil Nadu, India). The hill station dates back to the British colonial days.
"The Whole of Yelagiri was once the private property of the Yelagiri Zamindar Family. It was taken over by the government of India during the Early 1950s. The house of the Yelagiri Zamindars still exists in Reddiyur."
British administered Elagiri (Neelagiri) or Swami Malai or Kolli Malai. During the 1960s Yelagiri was a refuge for people groups who were involved in the Emergency Rule of India. Their near-dynasty was terminated after the withdrawal of the Emergency Rule. It was left uninhabited until French Missionary Fr. Francis Guezou (Salesian) first arrived who helped the Jawadhu Hills people to inhabit the hills. Yelagiri is now overpopulated by India's corporatism, political ventures and local tourism, from 2007 onwards.
The Yelagiri hill station is not as developed as other hill stations in Tamil Nadu like Ooty or Kodaikanal. However, the district administration has now taken up the task of developing Yelagiri Hills into a tourist destination by promoting adventure sports such as paragliding and rock climbing.[4]
Yelagiri is one of the famous places for trekkers in India. The hill station is located at a height of 1410.6 meters above sea level. Yelagiri comprises 14 hamlets and a number of temples spread over several hills.
The highest point in Yelagiri is the Swamimalai Hill, standing tall at 4,338 ft; Swamimalai is a destination and viewpoint for trekkers. The hill provides a number of trekking trails through thick reserved forests. Mangalam, a small village, is at the base of this hill. There are other trekking options that include smaller peaks like Javadi Hills and Palamathi Hills.
Yelagiri Hills is home to hundreds of snakes.
Yelagiri's climate is cool in the monsoon season. The daily weather is generally pleasant. In winter, there is much less rainfall than in summer. This climate is considered to be Aw according to the Köppen-Geiger climate classification.
Prehistoric Yelagiri is found to have a modern settlement since 10,000 BC (post-ice age). After the Roman presence until after the European dark ages, human activities in Yelagiri Hills were evident before the Moghul era. Spanish Pilgrim Fathers initiated religious settlement in Yelagiri Hills 400 years ago. Tamil Tribal clan, namely Thomas inhabited the Hills and its surrounding before the Vellala Gounder or 'Malai Yali' (not to be confused with Malayalees). Malayali denotes people who live in mountains. Malayali people are also called "Karalar" which means 'one who rules the clouds'. Malayali people claim to come from plains, they are from the Kancheepuram district. Other native tribal groups are the Irular.
Most of the Tamil people are Hindus. They commonly worship Shiva in the name of 'Nachiappan' and Parvati in the name of 'Nachiamma'. A temple for Murugan (son of Shiva and Parvati) was built in the 1960s. Recently more Churches were also established by Christian missionaries. Mosques are also available in the area.

There might be moderate rains from the southwest monsoon and heavy rains, accompanied by thunderstorms during the northeast monsoons. The landscape turns lush and vibrant with the rains, but travel and sightseeing might be tricky if you are caught in a downpour. Yet again a non-touristy season, but if it’s a weekend holiday getaway you are looking for, choose a clear day for a visit.
Winter (December - February)
Yelagiri Weather And Best Time To Visit YelagiriPhotograph by en.wikipedia.org
The days are warm and the nights are cooler. This is the peak tourist period as the weather turns good, cool and breezy, and you can tour around as much as you would want. Some of the idyllic places you could visit in winter are the rose gardens and the Jalagamparai waterfalls, loaded to the brim with the monsoon rains. Nights are rather cold and you might be better off carrying a jacket and woollens. Yercaud promises a number of adventure sports and winter is a good time to try your hand at paragliding or camping.
