Excursion
YELAGIRI HILLS
Considered as the Ooty of North Arcot District, this stands eloquent amidst
four mountains, at a height of 920 metres above sea level. A solemn summer resort,
this place has comfortable lodging houses and rest houses. A church with exquisite
craftsmanship and a beautiful park adorn this hill as an ideal tourist spot.
VIRINJIPURAM
This magnificent temple dedicated to Lord Siva is famous for its devotees who
throng here with ardent belief that a dream on the last Sunday of Karthigai
month will reveal of their fortune of being blessed with an offspring. The Lion-faced
Simmakulam tank is considered to be very sacred.
JALAGAMPAARAI
Jalagampaarai water fall situated 17 kms from 17 kms from Tirupattur is a fine
picnic spot where the deity is in the form of VEL (a kind of spear). The morugan
temple attracts the tourists throughout the year.
JAVADU HILLS
Jamanamarathur 40kms from Polur is the main village in Javadu hills which is
famous for its sandalwood and fruits bearing trees; its altitude varies from
300 to 1000mts. The Beemanmadavu water falls in the thick reserve forest, 12
kms from here is worthy of a visit. Foot-path obstacles during the seasons may
deter visitor to trek. Kavalur observatory, the biggest in Asia is worth visiting
on second Saturday of the month by the tourists. The stars and planetary brilliance
and the milky way- one can observe through the sophisticated and modern telescopes.
The trek to Amirthi forest from here is risky but worthy. Hotel tariff rage:
Rs. 100 to Rs. 600/-
