Yercaud is one of the beautiful hill station in Tamilnadu. Its around 230 Kms from Bengaluru. Since the road condition is super fine one can reach with in 4 hours from Benagaluru. There is lot of options to stay now a days compared to my last time visit way back in 2011.   We booked Kingers Homestay in Yercaud for our stay in advance. This time trip was planned and executed by Pradeep and Priyanka our new organizers :P One more specialty of this trip was new member joined our group for trip.   Yercaud is good place for relaxation, some time journey will be beautiful than the destination, Yercaud will fall under this category, we will enjoy the drive through the 20 hairpin curves. Even it will give option to do photo shoot as well. On the way we spent some good time clicking the pics. There are few places to visit around Yercaud. Once we checked into the home stay we visited Pagoda Point. Didn’t find this place much interesting, or not so good for photo...
