Yedapalli is a Panchayat village in Coonoor Taluk of The Nilgiris District, Tamil Nadu, India.

Geography

Yedapalli is situated about 4.7 km from Sim's Park in Coonoor on the MDR 1073 that leads from Coonoor to Kotagiri.

The village is bounded by

Yedapalli has two marshes; one lies in a bowl in the rear of the village, and adjoins the Black-Ridge reserve-forest; the other lies alongside the MDR 1073, towards the village boundary in the direction of Coonoor. The entire village sources its water from these two marshes. Restoration of the marshland is underway, under the aegis of Clean-Coonoor, [1] an NGO. [2] Run-off from the marsh forms a perennial trickle, which flows southwest-wards through the Spring-Field and High-Field tea-estates, picks up strength, flows past Wellington Gymkhana Club's [3] golf-course, and eventually joins the Coonoor river as Ganguathorai.

Vitrag-Group's [4] HillsDale is a gated-community located on the northern end of the village, on the MDR 1073, towards Ellithorai. [5]
