Yelagiri: Be a Bird in the Sky

No adventure on the ground can compare to the thrill of gliding through the sky at 2000 ft. above sea level. The Yelagiri Adventure Sports Association (YASA) is a place for flying enthusiasts or those who are just curious to know what the world looks like to a bird.

Yelagiri is easily one of the best flying destinations in South India. Its altitude and weather is perfect for beginners as well as trained pilots who may want to test themselves. The valleys of the Yelagiri Hills offer a breath-taking view of expansive forest and fields.

The West side of the hill offers an easy take off, a gradual slope and vast landing area. One can also opt to fly tandem with a trained pilot, in which case no previous flying experience is required. YASA also holds a daylong workshop that includes theory, demonstration, control familiarization (on ground) and a tandem ride with an experienced pilot.

While the undulating land at Yelagiri Hills has enough to offer, getting a bird’s eye view of its splendour – is an experience in itself.
