Yercaud - A relax in the nature's lap

Post by Sam | Bangalore | Mar 11, 2010

From Bangalore it wouldn't take more than 4hrs to reach, thanks to the awesome roads.You can travel straight via Hosur-Krishnagiri-Dharmapuri-(bye-pass)-Salem-Yercaud (roughly 235kms). Leave on a Saturday morning. AnandBhavan on the way after Krishnagiri is a nice place to have your lunch. Reach Yercaud by afternoon. By the time you finish the view points, there would be the Sunset welcoming. Do rest of the activities the next day and wrap up by 5pm to reach Blore by 10pm

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.

You can reach Salem by train or bus. From Salem Yercaud is 28km..From Salem if you take a bus for Yercaud that is cheap and best, ticket cost is just 11rs. But if you love photography then you must hire a cab(450rs), because it has 20 hairpin bends, and you can really click some good pictures. The road from Salem to Yercaud is awesome, you get to see lots of monkeys...

Yercaud travelogue

If you are travelling by vehicle, the ghat roads are excellent for driving. If you are coming in train, get down at Salem station and from there it is a one hour journey. There are plenty of buses to Yercaud, taxis would take anywhere from 550-750 for a drop to Yercaud.
