Ride to Yercaud and a visit to Providence hospital.

Some of my undergraduate (UG) friends wanted to have a get-together at Yercaud. Since my friend, who usually joins me, backed off, I thought of riding all the way to Yercaud instead of going by car. I thought, 'Why not write it as another biker travelogue?' Then I searched the net and found a mission hospital to visit in Yercaud. The name of the hospital was Providence Hospital, near Lady's Seat, a viewpoint in Yercaud. The bike was in good condition after a service following the return from the Ladakh trip. I packed minimally for the weekend trip in my Rynox tank bag. About Yercaud: Located in the scenic Shevaroys range of hills within the Eastern Ghats, Yercaud is nestled at an impressive altitude of 1,515 meters (4,970 feet) above sea level. The pinnacle of Yercaud can be found at the Servarayan Temple, which stands tall at 1,623 meters (5,326 feet) above sea level, making it the highest point in this picturesque region.
