Yelagiri is one of the place I was planning to visit for a long time. My excitement ended on a rather flat, sad and hot day. We went by our own car and reached there by 10AM. Its a hot place in April and not so good thing is you can go two park kind of place. A lake & Nature park. Thats all. We didnt try trekking which might be good and fun. Id keep the review shorter with pros and cons:
**pros**
- Very well connected to Bangalore
- Well maintained road
- Journey till hill is great
- Humble and helpful local people
**cons**
- There is NO waterfalls (It used to be but its dead now)
- Limited options to have fun
- No points as such
- No specialty of the place
- Not a good value for time and money
We have been to there in April which as per rules not a good time to visit. Yet I feel whenever you go few things wont change. Good if you want to drive your car on 100+kmpl for an hour or so else Nandi hill is by far a better option.
