TAI's 3rd Banglore - Chennai Meet on 28th September at Yelagiri

[appus]

Appu,
Distance between Hindupur to Blore is 100km. How much it will be from Blore to Yelagiri hills? If Blore guys are starting by 5.30am i can't meet them. Instead I am thinking to start one day before the meet i.e. on 27th and to stay night either at Hosur / Krishnagiri. Which one could be good n convenient for me, do suggest. Then I can meet Blore guys and can proceed with them. I am coming along with my friend and waiting for his confirmation.
Mates, Please suggest good hotel for accomodation in Hosur / Krishnagiri which is convenient to meet the Blore guys.

157.9 km - Distance between Bangalore - Yelagiri.
If you are staying in Krishnagiri, I may ask you to stay in Vellore and visit Golden temple @ Vellore . Then join guys who are coming from Chennai/ Vellore (AppU & Team)

Hindpur to Bangalore are of great roads i believe. So, you should be able to reach bangalore in 1 1/2 hrs maximum in the morning. You can think of that option also !

Lunch:

Where can we have Lunch at Yelagiri?

Also guys Suggest some good Hotels to have Lunch at Yelagiri(Both Veg and Non-Veg).

Appu, there are no good hotels in Yelagiri nor in Vaniyambadi, so if you people can manage breakfast in Vaniyambadi, i suggest you go inside the town and find a hotel, you can ask any locals there for hotels.

In Yelagiri the hotels are worst(for veggies out there, it's a nightmare), can't find a good one to meet up and eat like we did in our Hosur meet, so you'd better drive off to Vellore and have good meals and then plan accordingly for returning.

I have seen some Small Hotels / Messes in Yelagiri, similar to Muniyandi Vilas . I love such ones... The Mess we tried was kind of OK too. If we are looking for more decent or standardized Restaurants, then Resorts should be the option, with that kind of price.

Yes, we can go inside the town, but Vaniyambadi is a small town with heavy traffic. If you go there without any proper plan, then it will be a problem to get the parking space. so we need to know some hotel before going there

Yes, there is a good hotel in Vaniyambadi, typically for Biriyanis. But parking our convoy there is impossible. Maybe, if we are keen about Non-Veg and Biriyani, we park the cars somewhere and take few alone there.

+1 to appus. If you are planning to stay at Vellore, please let me. so that I can guide you some good hotels near NH itself.

Even, I can guide you to reach Golden temple too

am still on the wall. do not know which side i will jump. looks like i need to complete some process for salary payment which was advanced for various reasons.

if am coming most probably i have to come alone. if any one from Chennai joins me it will be nice.

Our Member Gokul can join with you.

Good suggestion by Appus. Also, you may look for options in Yelagiri too.

As we discussed on call, we will check with some hotels there at Yelagiri and finalize some good hotel for Lunch.

BTW Guys,

Breakfast:
As Vaniyambadi is a small town, so we won't get parking space for all our cars. so it is better to finish our Breakfast somewhere else.

So I suggest, Bangalore team can have their breakfast at Krishanigiri and Chennai team will have their breakfast at Vellore.

What is your suggestion guys?

Appu - As I could search in the net, no much good reviews about Landmark. Also, not many options are thrown by Google. The only way to zero a place is based on previous personal experiences.

Ok. Then how about the Hotels/Messes which you preferred.

Will the hotel/messes have capacity to accommodate some 25-35Members?
How about the parking space there?

oh Prasanna, we are definitely going to miss you :(

 

[appus]

Checked for few options for your food. As Figoian said, it is pretty average or bad @ Landmark.

I read, there is a Sterling resorts which serves buffet for 480 (inclusive of tax). You can try bargaining if numbers are more ! (May be for 350-400)

Other option is one/two volunteers drive down in one car during lunch time , get parcel for every one and drive back. Sit in some open place, eat it :)

Figoian would be driving only for food So, do get the best food :D

It is really a good idea. But, Driving down will take more time, so it is better to buy lunch from Mess/Hotels and will have together.

Lets see, how it turns out

Not sure Appu. We were in Yelagiri just for a day/night. We had lunch from a place called Amma Mess, which was kind of OK. It was a regular veg meal with Non-Veg dishes as extra. We saw couple of such Messes and Small Hotels in that area. So not sure about the food, quality, taste etc. I wouldn't mind give it a try that day and post a update

Accommodating such many people and car there, is a question to me too. If not all cars, we can park it all elsewhere and get only few.

I won't mind anytime that too for Food But then, downhill is again Vaniyambadi, which is quite far to go and come back. By then, many early birds would even start leaving.

I don't think we can find much options over net. Worst case, do the BF till the nose, get on the ground there that day find the best by ourselves. If we all would get quite hungry, any food would taste to it's best. If not that hungry, even a best food wouldn't make a big difference. Woowww... What a thought!

 

[AppU]

@AppU

I am so sorry, there was a death in the family couple of days back and so my participation is ruled out.

Wish you all guys have a wonderful time, and definitely I will be missing you all.

Take as much as photos and post them after the meet.

I have got some info about the place "Tandoori Hut on Boat House Road (Next to Boat House Main Entrance)" from different sites. This place in wiki page also mentioned. Unfortunately, no contact number i could find. Anyone having more knowledge about the place can dig into it.
