Grave yard shifts, meeting dead lines, working with Mr.Grumpy Face (aka your boss), stifling targets,overtime would make you to shout ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! Its time to take a break from the usual chores.
Take a sedan if you have one or a cruiser hit the road to yelagiri . It is a hill station situated on NH7 off Jolarpert. It takes roughly 3-4 hours ride /drive from Chennai. This is the ideal SPOT for the weekend outing. Unlike other hill stations of the state , not much urbane activities can be seen .
The climate is moderate with occasional rains accompanying chill winds.
Like any other hill stations, the centre of the attraction is the punganoor artificial lake. An hour of boating in the lake would definitely do the world of wonder for the week ahead. The other interesting sight seeing places are Murugan temple, Telescope House etc.
There are some budget hotels in Yelagiri which would not create a big hole in your pocket. As this place draws a little crowd finding a good accommodation would not be a problem.
This place is well connected by road and rail. Preferably start early in the morning so that one would reach the spot by 11.00 a.m.
The State Government conducts summer festival every year. The Tourism Department of the State has earmarked this place for its promotional programmes.
Go and chill out my pal!
