When: 5th Sept 2015
Destination: Yercaud - Tamilnadu
How and who all are: Myself, Arun, Anjana, Mani, Sagar, Pradeep, Aditya, Kumar
Odometer reading: 520Kms.
Route Map: Bangalore – Krishnagiri – Dharmapuri – Yercaud – Bangalore.
Short and sweet description:
As we need to cover more than 500kms in 1 day, we have planned to start early morning @ 5.45
As per plan, our meeting spot was "Hosa road" and with the delay of 15mins all the bikers have reached the meeting spot.
Sharply at 6'o clk we have started as a group.
As it was not much traffic, we were able to cross city within short time.
After that the ride was perfect, everyone was touching 90-95kmph speed.
Instead of riding as whole group, we have split to 3 groups. WHich has helped us to maintain better average speed.
By 7.15 we have covered 90Kms and stopped for breakfast.
It was perfect southindian hotel with home made food taste.
I didn't remember the exact place of the hotel. but it comes right after crossing Krishnagiri.
where lots of dhabas are available both the sides of road.
By 8.15 we were done with the breakfast and started crusing towards Yercaud.
As we moved further, I could sense that, weather was getting hot.
With a descent average speed, we have crossed Dharmapuri and reached Salem.
As the Salem temp. was kindof high compared to Bangalore, we all started sweating and soon hydrated our bodies with tender coconuts.
One thing I like about Tamilnadu is, the availability of tender coconuts on every corner of the town. :)
As we were riding as 3 groups, 1st group were waiting at the check-point of Yercaud which comes right after crossing the Salem town ( Going through Salem town traffic is required to connect to Yercaud road.).
Within 15mins, all the bikers have reached that spot and remaning ride was as a single group.
Remaining stretch was ascending the ghats of Yercaud.
Riding through the snake bend roads with landscape views was best part of the trip.
Stopping for snaps in between, by 11'o clk we were able to reach "Yercaud" lake.
Lake was not so great to do boating. and with the help of sign boards, we came to know the route to ""Kiliyur waterfall".
Without wasting any time, we have headed towards Waterfalll and reached the parking spot in 10mins.
To reach the Waterfall, 1Kms of descending on foot is required.
Thinking to burn our calories in waterfall. We've filled our stomachs once again with some snacks, packed water bottles and some other stuff and started descending to reach waterfall.
Within 20mins , we have reached the waterfall. As it was not so great to take bath, we simply sat near the falls and spent sometime.
The ascending was quite exhausted...!! :)
As it was lunch time, We headed to a hotel and re-filled our stomachs with southindian meals.
After visiting some more view points(Pagoda point, and 2 more), we have started back to Bangalore.
The ride back was also involved 2 more stops for eating :). With these, our stops for eating was more than the sight seeing spots :) :P
Over all, it was fun and food filled bike trip. :)
Thanks for visiting my blog. :)
