- Yercaud

- Ooty
- Kodaikanal
Yercaud:
The hidden gem of Salem district’s non-commercialised hill station is Yercaud. She is located just 230 km away from the gargantuan metro city Bangalore and 5000 ft above sea level. Drive from the aortic metro to the pethe aceful yeYercauds pia cturesque and fascinating one. The view of Yercaud is worth the trip. Aromatic coffee is a must-try beverage in Yercaud. The tranquil weather, lake, gardens, and woods help to gain its popularity. Get drenched in Kiliyur waterfalls if you dare to take adventure trails and trek. The path to Kiliyur falls is secluded. Once you reach your serotonin(Happy chemical), it will start its function.
Yelagiri:
Need to get out of the metro and long to have a peaceful weekend in the lap of nature. Here is the apt solution for your desire. Yelagiri hills have mouth-smashing tea; the taste of tea would be in your tongue for a while until you eat next. It also has space for exclusive ‘adrenaline rush’ activities provided by “Yelagiri Association of Adventure Sports” like rock climbing, paragliding and trekking. After this tiring physical work, treat yourself to Mughal taste aromatic briyani, as Yelagiri is very close to “Ambur”, which is famous for its unique briyani taste.
Masinagudi:
Elephant’s Paradise “, Masinagudi, located near Ooty, is a wild adventure travel. On your travel from Karnataka to Masinagudi, you can see and feel the cool breeze and lush green carpet everywhere. On your way, you will cross Bandipur forests, where you can see mesmerising peacock dance, peafowls, spotted deers, wild elephants and langurs. I bet you would have multiple stops to admire nature and its wonderful creatures. Once you reach Tamil Nadu, you will be travelling via the Mudhumalai forests. Your eyes can see herds and herds of elephants crossing and playing around the forest. An entrancing and wonderful experience it would be to travel with elephants.
Ooty:
Tall and majestic hills stand erect with tea and coffee plantations, which earned it the nickname “Queen of the Hills”. Driving through the hills, you can see shrubs of Neelakurinji plants all over the place. She will allow you to see the beauty of her once every twelve years. In season, the whole hill is covered by bluish pink flowers, making it “Nilgris”. Tea and variki make the best combo snack in the evening. Ooty Botanical Garden has numerous species of plants and shrubs within it. To add more spice to your trip, you can take a toy train from Ooty to Coonoor. I failed to express my experience of the drive in words, but I bet you will love it.
Kodaikanal:
Next in the list is the Princess of Hills – Kodaikanal. The climate of Kodaikanal will be thoroughly chill throughout the year. You can have hot chocolate in that cold climate and a bread omelette. Freshly grown carrots, homemade chocolates, and fruits are must-try eateries in Kodai. Kodaikanal is one of the best hill stations in South India. There are many sightseeing places like Guna cave, pillar rock, and Bear Shola Falls, which will be too crowded by wanderers like you. But there exists a serene, peaceful, non-commercialised place, and that is Poombarai village, just 20 km away from Kodai Lake. Poombarai village is known for its view and valley. Warm and genuine people would welcome you with a smile and serve you hot chai even if you are a stranger to them. Roam around the village and let the carrots grind in your mouth. There are no better hotels to stay in, so pack a tent with you.
