Finding our way, back

Now we did something odd on the way back. We avoided Salem entirely, and took another road down from Yercaud. This led us to a state highway which passed through the towns of Pallipatti and Harur, and eventually joined the Krishnagiri-Pondicherry National highway at Uttangarai. This route was a lot more scenic and had lesser traffic to boot. I’ve been to Yercaud over half a dozen times in the past four years, but I’ve never done this route again. We took a lot of photograph stops on the way.

Lush hillsides, and stepped farming.

Eh, a Chorten ? Here ? In South India ? Some serious wrong number got dialled here!

More farms, and more green.
