Staying at Aura Valley Resort Yelagiri

On our trip to Yelagiri, a quiet hill station within driving distance from Chennai, we stayed at Aura Valley Resort. You can have your base here and visit the local Mangalam temple and Swamimalai Temple.

Aura Valley Resort Yelagiri review
Nothing great but not bad either as far as accomodation goes. Just comfortable. There is a friendly manager who interacts with guests. 

The advantage of this resort is that there is forest area behind the resort so you can enjoy trekking, not necessarily needing a guide to do so.

The resort also has a large barren area behind where a group can enjoy a game of cricket, play badminton & football. The resort provides the equipment for these games. 

In the evenings, after sunset, bonfires are also lit amidst some fun, games & music. There is also a children's play area with swings.


The biggest downside to staying at the Aura Valley Resort is the price of the food. It is really atrocious! For one person a vegetarian meal costs Rs.150/- and for a non-vegetarian one it is Rs.200/-. This price is for pretty ordinary food. Instead, it is a good idea to head to one of the other hotels in the area and have your meals there. We enjoyed some really good biryani at Hotel Hills. The food at Nilgiri Hotels is also good.

Room tariff at Aura Valley Resort, Yelagiri: We paid Rs.1600/- per day for a double-bed room.
