This is nature at its best. The 14 hair pin bends are not any singular place of attraction but they can be found as you start climbing up the Yelagiri hills on the Ghat road, from Poneri. These bends named after famous Tamil personalities offer majestic views from the plains below. Unfortunately if you are driving in a four wheeler you cant stop and take a view or snaps. The space is too narrow to stop your car except for some spots. If you are on a bike its ok to stop.After the 12th bend there is a Telescope point where a Telescope is positioned and you can have view of the plains below that includes Jolarpet railway station and Vaniyambadi. The 14 personalities include Paavendar, Bharathiyaar, Tiruvalluvar, Ilango, Kambar, Kapilar, Auvaiyaar, Adhiyamaan etc. Don`t forget to carry binoculars with you or you may miss spectacular view.
