Swamimalai Hills

Reviewed By crazzziedude1 - Chennai (Madras), India

This place is around 4km from the centre of the hill where Yelagiri lake and Nature Park is located.
The base of this hill is a Village called Mangalam. It’s easy to loacate as there is a temple and you would find vehicles parked down there early morning..
It’s takes around 2 hours to ascend and 45 minutes to descend the hill...
Trekking up can be really tiring as it’s steep some places.
Make sure you wear appropriate shoes to have a better grip and to avoid slippery surface of the ground specially while trekking down.
Local people sell fruits and lemon water as well buttermilk on the way.
I enjoyed my trekk a lot. It was really great..

Nilavoor Lake

Reviewed By VijayKarthik N - Bangalore, Karnataka, India

This is a very small lake having boating facility. But considering that there is nothing much to do in Yelagiri apart from trekking and enjoying the climate, families have no other choice to come here for their children.

We have the first 7D Cinema in Yelagiri.

Never expected to find so many exotic birds in Yelagiri. And to get to interact with them was something one did in Singapore and other far off destinations. This place is right next door to Bangalore. Kudos to Vishal and team for not just setting up such a place - but also taking excellent care of these amazing birds. The friendly nature of the people manning the place and the overall experience was too good.
The 7D Theatre too far exceeded our expectations. Although it is a smallish room, the experience is quite realistic and had us on the edge.
Overall - a must visit place - for kids and adults alike!!

Thrill Valley

Reviewed By Karthik R - Chennai (Madras), India

Thrill valley adventure park - near to the lake. They had a good list of adventures to do - Human slingshot, Paintball, Zurfing, Parallel zip lines, ATV, Kids Zorbing, rope bridge and rope course. Few were Rs.100 and few at Rs.200 per attempt per person. We bought tickets for rope ziping and Zorbing. Zip lining was preferred first by the instructors. It was a very good experience - 200m of Zip lining. I did that twice and nice experience. For Zorbing - all 5 of us got into one ball in a small pond - and it was all Harrakiri ! Unable to stand and were rolling all over. Wow !!! Ufff ..... come on .... stand up .... I am rolling !! ..... ooohhhhh ... The fun was unlimited and we ended up very tired.
