We had been to Yercaud in April . Its a nice getaway from Bangalore . train till Salem then a cab to reach Yercaud . The train journey was arnd 4 hrs and the ride uphill was nice too, took around an hour and half.
We stayed at Grand Palace. overlooking the serene lake. Its a great place to stay, staff is courteous, food is good too .
The hill station is small and cosy . not crowded like Kodai and Ooty . Our hotel was overlooking the lake one side and hills and valley on another . Nice view .
Sight seeing includes Ladies Seat, boating at the lake . hill views . telescope house .
We had hired the cab from the hotel for sightseeing and it was fun.
Climate was amazing . cloudy, cool, and it rained at night . so it got cool . better than summer in the city .
We relaxed most of the day at the hotel . and enjoyed the weekend with sight seeing and chilling .
Good and well deserved break.
