Yelagiri lake view

Then we went to the nature park (entrance fees Rs 15/adult). The park was small but very well maintained. The play area for children had lots of play equipments which the children in the group enjoyed. There is even an artificial waterfall inside the park.

We finished our visit a little after noon and it was time for the checkout. The downward trip to the plains was interrupted for a couple of photo sessions but otherwise uneventful.

My Bangalore friend wanted to goto Krishnagiri Dam which was just a little detour towards Salem highway from Krishnagiri. So went to the dam, which was full and took more photos. The park attached to the dam was big not very clean. There are no boating facilities in the reservoir either.

So after spending just over half an hour there we returned to Bangalore. Yelagiri can be made as a day trip from Bangalore or Chennai, what with the lack of options, but it is better to spend overnight for a more relaxed trip. Our stay, Hotel Hills was ok but I would keep it as a secondary option and try out other places such as Landmark ,Zeenath taj or Sterling on my next visit.
