Travel to Yercaud

Tamil Nadu is blessed with some of the most wonderful locales in the south of India.

In keeping with that reputation is the hill station of Yercaud, situated in the Shevaroy Hills. The question of how to reach Yercaud is a bit of a headache to answer, but that is what this guide is for. You wouldn’t be able to experience the serenity of this town without answering that basic question, would you? Much of the appeal of Yercaud is due to the Big Lake. This massive body of water, one of the biggest in Tamil Nadu, in fact, has a fountain sitting in the middle of it. The best view of this lake comes from Anna Park, located on its banks. Taking a walk through the park as you admire the Japanese horticulture on display here is quite a soothing experience, one of many that you may have once you have learnt how to reach Yercaud.

Yercaud itself does not have an airport, due to its remote location within the state of Tamil Nadu. It is, however, fairly close to a few airports that boast a decent level of connectivity. Yercaud nearest airport is the Salem Airport, situated about 38 km from Yercaud itself, while the second closest is in Trichirapalli or Trichy, some 165 km away. While Salem Airport only has flights to and from Chennai, the airport in Trichy offers quite a few more options both nationally and internationally, such as Bangalore, Colombo and Kuala Lumpur. It would take a little over an hour to make your way to it from the airport in Salem, while it may take as long as 4 hours to reach Yercaud from Trichy airport. There are plenty of cabs available from the airports themselves, however, so it should be a largely painless process.

Once again, Salem functions as a hub for those looking to make their way over to Yercaud. There is no direct train that connects to Yercaud due to its lack of a railway station, but Salem Junction is the nearest railway station to Yercaud which is only 35 km away from here. Additionally, Salem Junction is part of a vast network of trains, a lot of which run on a daily basis, connecting Yercaud to cities all over the country. Trains going to or coming from Mumbai, Coimbatore, Thiruvananthapuram, Chennai, Mangalore, Mysore and so many other cities have a stop at Salem Junction on their route, giving you plenty of options in terms of how to reach Yercaud.

Quite a few of the major cities of Tamil Nadu and its neighbouring states are connected to Yercaud via a robust system of road. Salem once again is the closest town to Yercaud, standing at around 36 km and more likely than not, you may have to pass through it when making your way to Yercaud from further away. Coimbatore is approximately 195 km away, Chennai is approximately 355 km away and Bangalore is about 220 km away, while places like Trichy, Madurai and Mettur are within 80 to 280 km from it. All in all, Yercaud boasts a decent level of road connectivity, with a number of buses and taxis available to take you to it. Should you choose to make the trip over yourself, with your own two or four-wheeler, the scenery that will accompany you on this winding route is quite a treat.

Vinzeeus's 2 days trip to Yercaud

I am not satisfied with service provided , while booking agent told he will provide hindi speaking driver also he said full day driver will be with you and wherever you want to take you can take him in stipulated time but , in actual that driver refused to go any far place which takes 30min only, driver said he will charge extra if he goes 30 min far from city , also he was not able to speak hindi or English properly. Also after booking driver details given very late to me , I only called to booking agent for driver number Kodaikanal stay was beautiful, sky view villa is best to stay
