Yelagiri Tour Packages from Coimbatore

How far is Yelagiri from Coimbatore and how do you get there?

Yelagiri is about 310 km from Coimbatore by road, a drive of roughly 5.5 hours with breaks. The coimbatore to yelagiri distance is too long for a comfortable one day trip, so we plan it as a 3 day trip that also covers Vellore. Pickup and drop are in Coimbatore, and the driver stays with you for the whole trip.

The Tirupathur district website describes the hilltop as reached by a winding road. If anyone in your group gets car sick, tell us when you ask for the quote and we will plan the timing and stops.

What is a Yelagiri trip plan, and how many days do you need?

Three days works well: a travel day, a day on the hills and a day for the return with a stop in Vellore. Our Yelagiri Vellore 3 days tour package from Coimbatore follows that shape and starts at ₹10,800 per person.

A two day trip leaves almost no time on the hills because of the 5.5 hour drive each way. People who search for a yelagiri one day trip are usually travelling from nearer cities. From Coimbatore, give it at least 3 days.

What can you see on a trip to Yelagiri?

Yelagiri sits at about 1,410 m, according to Wikipedia. The hills are a quiet place for walking and boating rather than for sightseeing in a hurry. Wikipedia lists Punganoor lake, the Swamimalai hills, where trekking is done, and the Jalagamparai waterfalls. A park beside Yelagiri Lake has boating.

The Tirupathur district site adds that the Attaru river runs through Yelagiri and feeds Jalagamparai, though the falls dry up at some point in the year. It also lists the Yelagiri Summer Festival and, elsewhere in the district, the Arma Malai cave paintings and the Kavalur solar observatory. If you are searching for the yelagiri nature park, ask us whether it fits your dates, since opening arrangements change.

What does a Yelagiri tour package cost?

The Yelagiri Vellore package starts at ₹10,800 per person for 3 days and 2 nights. That price covers the AC vehicle, driver, fuel, toll, parking and the hotel (3-star or similar, confirmed in your quote). Meals, entry tickets and personal expenses are extra.

The quote fixes the final number for your dates, group size and hotel.

When is the best time to visit Yelagiri?

November to February is the best window. According to the climate table on Wikipedia, December and January are the coolest months, and January and February are the driest. October is the wettest month and May the warmest, so avoid those if you want clear walking days.

Can you combine Yelagiri with Vellore and other places?

Yes. Vellore is part of our package. For a longer trip in the same direction, look at Tiruvannamalai or Kanchipuram. For another hill escape from Coimbatore, Ooty and Kodaikanal are closer.
