The main town of Yelagiri hills is Athanavur, which comprises a winding road through the hills with isolated villages. The Whole of Yelagiri was once the private property of the Yelagiri Zamindar Family and It was taken over by the government of India during the early 1950. The house of the Yelagiri Zamindars still exists in Reddiyur. The quaint hill station is not polluted like the commercial tourist destinations and is rather secluded amidst four mountains. The place is home to several tribal families and the drive to Yelagiri is considered among the highlights of the trip. On road, you will need to climb 14 hairpin bends to reach Yelagiri. The view along the climb is breathtaking.
