'''Yedapalli''' (Tamil: எடப்பள்ளி) 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, Coonoor|Sim's Park]] in Coonoor on the MDR 1073 that leads from Coonoor to [[Kotagiri]].
The limits of the village start immediately where the boundary of Coonoor Municipality ends, when driving from Coonoor towards Kotagiri.
The village is bounded by
* [[Bandishola]]i to the South, the preceding hamlet when driving up from Coonoor.
* Ellithorai to the North, the village succeeding when driving away towards Kotagiri.
* Aracombai to the West, a settlement of [[Sri Lankan Tamils|SriLankan Tamils]] in the interior, adjoining the Black-Ridge reserved-forest.
* The south and west of the village limits are bounded by the Black-Ridge reserve-forest.
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,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.cleancoonoor.org/|title=Clean Coonoor}}</ref> an NGO.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Coimbatore/yedapalli-wetland-restored/article26241621.ece|title=Yedapalli wetland restored|author=Staff Reporter|date=12 February 2019|via=www.thehindu.com}}</ref>
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<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.wellingtongymkhanaclub.co.in/|title=Gymkhana | Home|website=www.wellingtongymkhanaclub.co.in}}</ref> golf-course, and eventually joins the Coonoor river as ''Ganguathorai''.

The village has a bus-stop roughly in the middle of the village.

==Demography==
Traditionally a [[Badagas|Badaga]] village, there are a fair number of settlers from outside the community that have made it their home.
As of 2011 census, the total population of the village was 5232, with 53.2% females.
The literacy rate of the village is 80%; the literacy rate amongst women is 35.7%.
Tamil and Badaga are the most common languages. To some extent, Kannada is also spoken. Some people speak a smattering of English; most people will understand English spoken in the Indian accent.
Hindi is '''not''' spoken or understood.

==Occupation==
'''Tea'''. The people of Yedapalli primarily produce tea from privately owned holdings populated with tea-bushes.
Crop is carried to neighbouring factories in Bettati, or ForestDale for processing into finished tea. The crop is not picked for quality, but for quantity. Consequently, the product is low-grade tea, known for its strength and colour.

There is no industry in Yedapalli.

General-purpose shops (grocery, green-grocers, a confectioners and tea, hardware, welding-works, and so on) dot the hamlet, mostly strung along the main road.
