Yelagiri Hills is sometimes known as the poor man’s Ooty - I hope it stays that way! I got back yesterday after a lovely two days spent there, walking, playing games, catching up with old friends - all in Yelagiri’s pleasant not cold-not hot weather. Without the crowds and noise of Ooty. I wonder how long it will be before Yelagiri catches up. Size should be a deterrent - the place is really too small, to accomodate a large number of people. (I recognise that this is travel snobbery - everyone wants the best places for themselves - in which case, I wonder where everyone else should go!)
