Vanakkam!!! Greetings!!!
It's been long since we trip out and also it's been very long I'm writing. Lots of clicks are stacked in my PC without publishing. So, I have booted my memories again to share with all.
It was my first trip with my car, along with my friends +Suriyadeepan Damodaram, +Abdul Khader, +Sripadaraj N. It was a nice start from the Chennai-Bangalore Highway.

The drive was very relaxing and amazing for me that too with various discussions with my friends. We stopped by to take delicious dinner at Ambur for it world famous Biriyani. STAR Biriyani is the very famous shop which is visible in both the sides of the road while you enter Ambur. Its adjacent to the railway station. I was really amazed to taste the biriyani. I wasn't disappointed. It was really tasty and that too with Mutton Chukka... hmmmmm... awesome. We took a pack for the backup to eat in the night :-).
Once you cross Ambur, there will be diversion from the highway to take the Yelagiri road. The next interesting part was the drive along the ghat roads. I was thrilled to drive in the dark roads at around 10pm. We parked the car to enjoy the view of the city landscape from a viewpoint. We have made our bookings at the Le Auroville resort over phone which we heard as a good one. Its very nearby once you enter the Yelagiri hill town. It was a nice place with few cottages built surrounded by mountains. The weather was little cold outside which created a good mood to spend time. The resort provides good food, indoor and outdoor games too. We enjoyed the time with bonfire arranged by the resort for lesser cost.
The resort was comfortable for us to spend the night. Had a good sleep there after long conversations and playing cards.
We woke up with a hot coffee to enjoy the cool weather outside. Green everywhere outside. A cool view of mountains surrounded. I started the day with my camera to capture the surroundings.
Breakfast was good which had Bread omelette, dosa, idly with good chutneys and sambar. So we had a healthy breakfast and played cricket and shuttle badminton for sometime. We prepared ourselves to roam outside.
Yelagiri doesn't has more places to visit other than the view points and the lake which is there in the center. Boating is arranged in the lake and safety measures are followed strictly. Pedal boats and row boats are also available. Lots of vendors sells variety of eatable items such as lake fish, jack-fruit, pure honey, Wild custard apple, etc.
A walk path is there surrounding the lake and also many play spots available for the kids. A tree house is also built up for a view from the top of the tree nearby the lake.
We roamed over these places and purchased few Jack fruit and forest fruits. It was time for us to check out the resort and also there was no other place to visit there. We checked out the resort.
Again started our journey happily and the driving was very interesting for me to as it was day time. We rushed towards the STAR biriyani again for the lunch. This time our expectations were high and so we ate more than last night and we tasted the Mutton biriyani this time. It was delicious. Don't ever miss this biriyani if you pass by this road.
In Yelagiri, you can't find petrol pumps but there is a pump available just after taking the diversion from the highway. ATMs and other basic needs are available. Good hotels are also available there. All the mobile networks reaches there. In totally, a best place to spend time with your friends, families and colleagues over the weekend.
One of my captures.
