A day in Yelagiri

At 12 on a relatively cool May afternoon in Yelagiri, hoards of people rushing down the boat house road were hard to miss. The vendor, at one of the few food stalls on this road, had to just point towards the crowd we needed to follow to reach boat house.

Yelagiri is a small hill station in the state of Tamil Nadu. Not as commercialised as Ooty or other famous hill stations in this area. Tourism Development Board of this state organises Yelagiri Summer Festival in May end every year to develop tourism here. With flower shows, boat house, dog show and various other activities, this festival attracts people from all over the country.
