Short description

"I first read about Yercaud in a secondhand Lonely Planet book which I purchased from an equally old shop on Freeschool Street. The info was limited but from what I found and being an Indian, I was quite surprised that I hadn't heard about such a wonderful place earlier and made up my mind to visit it. Yercaud greeted us with open arms & turned out to be the most beautiful place I'd ever seen!"

Extended description

"When I was a kid dad told me that Ootacamund a.k.a. Ooty is the land of eternal spring in India. But when I opened the Lonely Planet India Travel Guide, I found that water freezes in Ooty in winter. Surely Ooty couldn't be the land of eternal spring! However not very far from Ootacamund there is a place in Tamil Nadu named Yercaud where the temperature sticks to the 13 to 30 degrees Celsius range forever! This combined with the fact that Yercaud has no proper rainy season makes it possible to visit Yercaud all year round. This is advantageous as it evenly distributes the tourist rush. I decided to take dad to Yercaud and this is the story of our tour. Yercaud turned out to be the most beautiful place we had ever seen!"

Review by: Bhaskar Chakraborty on Aug. 14, 2011 :
Really good book. Awesome travel memorabilia. Really nice words to portray the scenic beauty of places visited. The grace of nature can truly peak with human perception, and this book is an example of that.

Review by: Syamales Datta on Aug. 13, 2011 :
This is an excellent portrayal for the nature loving travelers. The ambiance of the book puts forth a number of vicissitude combining a spring time atmosphere mixed with raindrops on the foot of a mountain peak glorified by a charming lake and a rich attribute of green woods surrounding the lake. There are several other pieces of static marvels coined as Ladies' Seat, Gents' Seat and Children's Seat. The dynamic part of the book is equally dramatic. There is the hide and seek game played by a dark naughty cloud that moves forward to hide the mountain and the lake together with the terrain. The various mountain spots, the flora and fauna and atmospheric variation with altitude also add rich complement to the work.
