Yercaud was one of the location which we wanted to visit for a long time. One reason was our desire to stay in Sky Rocca since we heard a lot of positive reviews about this property. But sadly Sky Rocca was completely sold out due to the long weekend. After hearing good feedback from one if my cousins, we decided to settle for Sterling Holidays Rock Perch. The booking was done on makemytrip and we started counting the days for our trip.
First phase - Hebbal - Srikrishna Restaurant/Mc Donanld/CCD
Total Distance from Bangalore - 73 KM
We started on a Saturday morning around 8 AM. The traffic was less and the drive was uneventful. But after crossing Hosur, we had to slow down on multiple places due to the ongoing road expansion work. No complaints- considering the fact that this will improve the road condition between Hosur and Krishnagiri. If NHAI has waited any more for starting the expansion work, Hosur - Krishnagiri stretch would have become like a Hosur road in Bangalore few years back. We stopped at Srikrishna Restaurant for the breakfast. This was deviation from earlier trip where we used to only stop at A2B.
Second Phase - Srikrishna Restaurant/Mc Donanld/CCD - Salem
Total Diatance from Banaglore - 209 KM
This stretch was a breeze. The road is in an excellent condition. But we started having problems once we reached Salem. We took the road toward city and kept on going straight in the hope of finding any signs showing us the direction to Yearcaud. It was a mistake and soon we realized that we are going in a wrong way. Switched on GPS on my Galaxy and started following the direction. It was taking us through small bylines, but we kept our faith in Google. Soon we hit the main road towards Yercaud. Salem Collectorate is also on the same road.
Third Phase - Salem - Yercaud Sterling
Total Distance from Bangalore to Yearcaud - ~240 KM.
The road from Salem to Yercaud is single line, but it's in a good condition. The ghat road started immediately after we crossed Salem. The Ghat road up to Yearcaud is a single line, but it's maintained very well. Except for some trucks which is coming down to steel plant in Salem, the traffic was less. Considering the long weekend, I was really scared of the traffic. There are totally 20 hairpin bends to Yercaud. By around 2 we reached Yercaud. That day we spent our time exploring the facilities in resort.
