Great place to be on a weekend. 400kms off Chennai, hardly 6 hours ride by road it very much is a place to be on a weekend, stay over a day from the Traffic and Pollution of Chennai. The best part of the journey again was the sudden plan which i always love to have as far as trips are concerned. Started off at 5 in the morning, the 7 of us in search for peace and freedom from the hectic schedule in office and horrible climate of August in Chennai. Reached Yercaud at around 12.30 and checked into the cottage we had booked online. 2 huge rooms is what they gave, we were asking them to give us 1 room and all of us fitting inside the big room. The hotel officials did not allow us to do it but even though we paid for the 2 rooms we just accomodated in one room till we slept. Had fun inside the room doing some kind of gymnastic acts like wild dogs which we only came to know of the stupidity after the pics were out. Took lots of pics we always do and then slept for the night. Best part of the trip was accomodating all 7 of us inside 1 car and going through the town in search of food for breakfast. Left off for Chennai at 12pm and then reached the Hot city at 8pm. Awesome trip for a weekend and we had a blast.
