Yercaud or Yelagiri - Which is a better climb ?

[Namit Nangia]

Hi Guys,

Which is a better climb (steeper / scenic / traffic), Yercaud or Yelagiri ? Any general Tips for either of them ? I am sure someone out here would have done both. Can you please share your experience(s) ?

Thanks,

Thanks Deepak, Yercaud seems to be a nice steady climb !

I just checked with all the hotels in Yercaud (that I could find online) for tomorrow. They are all full :(

Found a ride report for Yelagiri @ Bikezone: http://bikeszone.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=1441&p=10577&hilit=yelagiri#p10577

Will check if I can find anything at Yelagiri... I am planning to do a nice climb this long weekend (15th & 16th)

Hi Namit,
Me and Saurav last year had cycled to Yelagiri from Bangalore. We
started at 12:20 and was there by 7:30 in evening. It was awsome to
climb-up in dark with our torches on.
The view from the road on the way up was too good. It is steady and
easy climb (as compared to Nandi) .. around 8 Kms.
You also have YHAI as a stay option there. You can also reach at the
base by Train ... just get down at Jolarpettai .. and you are at the
base of the hill :) ... 15Kms ride and you are at the top.

Hi Guys,

Thanks a lot for all the inputs, I would have loved to attend the BBCh 4, but I don't get 2 day weekends anymore ! So, I want to get the most out of it. I have a tentative booking at Salem (near Yercaud), would most likely go and climb there tomorrow morning.

Next time (on a non BBCh day) Yelagiri !

Jai Hind !
