Velliangiri Andavar Temple / வெள்ளியங்கிரி ஆண்டவர் கோயில் / “THEN KAILAYAM” - Velliangiri Hills, Poondi in Coimbatore District, Tamil Nadu. Yatra - 2011, My Experience

18th April 2011
On 9th morning been to Velliangiri hills to have darshan of Sri Lord Velliangiri Andavar. At about 09.00 hrs morning started to climb from the foot hills.  started alone. Yes, alone  with a  strong desire to make this trip alone. Except tired and thirst I  never faced any problem. Reached to the top by 14.00 Hrs and had a good darshan. Taken rest for an hour and climbed down.

The aim of making in the day time is to see the nature’s beauty or the gods gift to the mankind. Reached back by 19.00 Hrs to the base temple. It was a wonderful experience. Here are some photographs taken from my  Sony ericssion X10 mini mobile with a 5 MP camera.

The followings are some tips  for the people who takes adventure with 
  • Less luggage and more comfort.
  • Carry at least 2 liters of good drinking water.
  • Carry some sweets
  • Do not carry any plastic items / carry bags
  • Carry some food, though some shops on the route where only junk foods will be available.
  • Carry a bamboo stick ( available at the base at cost)
  • Some amount of practice with bare foot is required.
All the best to the devotees who wishes to make this yathra
