Coastal Malabar To Yercaud

Hill Holiday - Short and Affordable

Train-bus combo works fine here. If from Bangalore catch the Bangalore - Coimbatore Intercity 6.15am; in Salem at 10.30 am. Outside the Station you can get the bus No.13 -frequency 10 mts- to Salem Main Bus stand. From here you have a bus every 20 mts to Yercaud. Sit in the very front seat next to the driver or on the leftside of bus on way up and right side on way down for a good view. Do avoid the Autos in Salem your holiday might suddenly be not so cheap! And note: in Yercaud, the place shuts down by 9.30 pm. Check out the Pool faclities offered by hotels here as they might not be 'currently functional'.

Yercaud - A leisure destination

In case travelling by own vehicle, I would say the roads are good to reach Yercaud and within Yercaud some caution needs to be taken care. Hair pin bends are a pleasure to drive and do stop at some of them to get a view of Salem city. Carrying an umbrella is also recommeded as it might rain anytime. Do not forget to carry some wollens in case you are travelling with a kid.
