Yelagiri, Western Ghats, Tamil Nadu

Jalagamparai waterfalls stay to be in the valley region downhill and are at little distance away from the Yeligiri. It's a beautiful place to be there and the experience is worth remembering. Waterfall's view is best in the days of November to February as they are fully loaded with water but the waterfall is little dry in the times of summers.

These days the flow of water in the waterfall is considerably reduced as compared to recent past years, but still its scenic beauty has always been appreciated and liked by most of the tourists visiting the place and they have a great time there.

The River Attaaru, runs through the valleys of Yelagiri Hills, and at the village of Jadaiyanoor, flows over to form the waterfall. It's perhaps the only distant spot from the main town (over 30 kilometre) and fairly frequented by visitors to the Hills. This could eithr be reached from Tiruppathur (15 Km) or by an hour's trek from the hills. Adjacent to teh Jalagambari falls, thereis a Murugan temple located within a building constructed in the shape of a Lingam.

Jalagamparai Waterfalls is also an ideal place to go on a day long trek and if you do decide to go there, just make sure you're wellstocked with water and food. The waterfalls are dependent on the river being full and the river is dependent on substantial rainfall. Yelagiri Hills hasn't any monsoon season of its own; rainfall here is mainly a 'spillover' of rainfall in nearby Bangalore or Chennai regions. Yelagiri Hills can largely be dry.

A lovely waterfall about an hour's trek from Yelagiri has been created by the Attaru River, which flows through the Yelagiri hills. It's a very attractive spots for loving couples.
