Yelagiri Attractions

Yelagiri hills, situated amidst four hills, is a simple hill station with no pretensions of grandeur. As with most hill stations, Yelagiri revolves around a lake - Punganur Lake . There are boating facilities at the lake. Nearer to the lake is the Nature Park with a music fountain (operational between 7 - 7:30 PM). Perhaps the best attraction is not at Yelagiri but at nearby Kavalur.
