Huascarán is the highest mountain in Peru, and the fifth highest in
South America. The continent's four higher mountains are all located
further south along the Chile-Argentina crest, so Huascarán towers
dominantly among its peers. Its two extinct volcanic summits (the lower
north peak is 21,830 ft.) are separated by a huge deep saddle, upon
which a hut now sits. The mountain is both high and massive, its huge
flanks covered in steep, broken glaciers. In 1962 a hanging glacier
broke from the mountain's northern flank, killing 6,000 people in the
village of Ranrahirca. In 1970, a similar fate fell upon the villages of
Yungay, Huaraz, and Aija, which were wiped out by earthquake-triggered
avalanches from the mountain. Fifteen members of a Czech expedition were
climbing Huascarán at the time, and were among the thousands dead. Many
climbers have also been killed by icefall in the area between the two
peaks. Technically, Huascarán is actually one of the easiest climbs in
the Cordillera Blanca, though its ever-present hazards -- icefall,
avalanche, and crevasse -- must not be overlooked. Huascarán's lower
north summit was first climbed in 1908 by Annie Peck, making it one of
the few major peaks in the world to be first ascended by a woman. The
higher south peak remained unclimbed for 24 years after Peck's south
peak ascent. Both peaks are climbed via the saddle that separates them,
and the panorama from the top is unequaled. The lower north peak is less
crowded, and is a slightly more difficult climb.<br />

We were in Siliguri, for enjoying a weekend in leisure when this idea suddenly stricked our us. And as usual next day morning we moved on for Kalimpong without any planning as such. One can easily get shared cabs for Darjeeling and Kalimpong from Darjeeling More, Siliguri at Rs. 150/- per head.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #555555; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro'; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 32.4px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; orphans: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
While on the route we were very excited. It’s very common within us. We all are peak lovers and we love the journey throughout. We keep getting excited everytime we start climbing up the hills. It took us around 3 hours to reach Kalimpong. But as soon as we reached there, the summer welcomed us. We were fed off with the scorching heat of sun in Kolkata and a bit less than Kolkata in Siliguri. We didn’t want any more summer. So soon we decided to move on to Darjeeling.</div>

Without wasting any time, we booked the tickets to Darjeeling. You’ll get Shared Cabs to Darjeeling for Rs. 150/- continuously plying from Kalimpong. In the meantime we had our lunch nearby and started moving towards Darjeeling.</div>

It’s sort of odd, but I visited many parts of North India, but this was my first trip to North Bengal, except Siliguri. I have been to Siliguri many times, thanks to my Bordi and Jamai (Elder Sister and her Husband) who have a business back there and keep visiting with them. As we started rising up the altitudes a charm of cool wind greeted us. I guess we were more happy to get escaped from the heat instead of our holiday. As it was a really unplanned journey, we didn’t carried any warm clothes except a jacket as we thought we may need that at night in Kalimpong.</div>

It took us around another 3 – 3.5 Hours to reach Darjeeling. Darjeeling have many hotels around the Bazaar and the Mall, so one can easily land up there without any bookings for on spot discounts or deals even in the high seasons. After scanning through few accommodation options in the Bazaar area, we ended up staying at Hotel Dragon @ Rs. 1300/-</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #555555; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro'; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 32.4px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; orphans: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
We breathed a sigh of relief and soon we noticed that it was around 4PM already. So we decided to visit the Mall and spend the evening at leisure. While proceeding towards the Mall, the Hotel’s Manager asked us whether we are interested in taking the Tiger Hill tour in the morning. He said it’d cost us 150/- per head. So we thought, though it’s unplanned tour, but as we are here now, let’s go for it, as you are never sure when you’ll be back again for a planned trip. So we confirmed him and left for the Mall. When we reached Mall, we found that some local function was going on. We spend couple of hours listening to local Nepalese music and dance performance by local girls. Though we were not much hungry but we definitely wanted to check out Momo and Thuakpa.</div>

Finally at around 8AM we return to our hotel with our Dinner and a liquor. We spent the rest of the night enjoying ourselves. It was around 2AM when we felled asleep.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #555555; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro'; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 32.4px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; orphans: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
Around 3:30 in the morning, Manager knocked our door and informed us to get ready. We got ready as fast as possible and started for our first destination – Tiger Hill. Though I was really sleepy, but soon I noticed the music that was being played. It was lovely, authentic Buddhist mantra. It was something like Morning Buddhist Chanting. It was just the music but no song. I had a urge to ask about the music, but I thought of staying quiet, as everyone was almost sleepy.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #555555; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro'; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 32.4px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; orphans: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
Upon reaching the destination we were told that, this is not the actual Tiger Hill, as the place is closed for renovation, so now-a-days they bring all the tourists here only and we’ll get the same view from here. Well, first of all we thought it of a hoax, but later we found that all the tourists and cars were there only.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #555555; font-family: 'Source Sans Pro'; font-size: 18px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: 32.4px; margin: 0px 0px 1em; orphans: auto; padding: 0px; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 1; word-spacing: 0px;">
We had to walk few minutes to reach the spot due to the queue of cars. Upon reaching the spot, we barely could see anything due to the rush, so we thought of climbing up to another point. It seemed that everyone is waiting for the Sun to rise. Few ladies were selling coffee and few were selling sweaters and woolen caps. It was really cold, and we couldn’t guess the temperature.

After spending around half an hour there we moved towards our jeep. Soon people started moving towards their respective cars.

It seems that, almost all tourists have their breakfasts there only. We also couldn’t resist trying the Samosas and Momo’s. We bought our tickets and moved on. While on the way to Batasia Loop someone told us, this is the place where “Mere Sapno Ki Rani” was shooted by Rajesh Khanna. We loved the Eco Garden in Batasia. We thought of trying out local Nepalese dresses which were being rented there.</div>

here to people who think they can handle the moody weather and have older kids.
As beautiful as this place is, it is equally rigorous and challenging. The best
places to visit in Ladakh with family are Leh and regions. The reasons being,
first, it is easy to reach Leh, as there is air services to Leh from Delhi and
Jammu. Secondly, during the summer season, the mercury remains steady at 30
degree Celsius, making it quiet a pleasant time to visit. You would like to
visit the 800 year old Kali Mandir, perched on top of a mountain; the Shanti

<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "robotoregular"; font-size: 11.5pt;">A Kashmiri lady,
who lives in the same building that I live in, once over a cup of tea said
something that urged me to go and visit Kashmir.
She said “<a href="http://www.tourmyindia.com/states/jammu-kashmir/kashmir.html" style="font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; outline: 0px;" target="_blank"><span style="border: none 1.0pt; color: #0685db; font-family: inherit; padding: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">go to Kashmir</span></a>, not because several brochures, websites and
magazines tell you to, but because you should!” I have never seen beauty
so divine and perfect anywhere, but in Kashmir. The amiable people and the
heartwarming hospitality add to the charm of the valley. So, what to see in
Kashmir?? Well, you have four great destinations for spending holidays in
Kashmir; the first is <a href="http://www.tourmyindia.com/states/jammu-kashmir/pahalgam.html" style="font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; outline: 0px;" target="_blank"><span style="border: none 1.0pt; color: #0685db; font-family: inherit; padding: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">Pahalgam</span></a>, second is <a href="http://www.tourmyindia.com/states/jammu-kashmir/gulmarg.html" style="font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; outline: 0px;" target="_blank"><span style="border: none 1.0pt; color: #0685db; font-family: inherit; padding: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">Gulmarg</span></a>, third is <a href="http://www.tourmyindia.com/states/jammu-kashmir/sonmarg.html" style="font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; outline: 0px;" target="_blank"><span style="border: none 1.0pt; color: #0685db; font-family: inherit; padding: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">Sonmarg</span></a> and fourth is <a href="http://www.tourmyindia.com/states/jammu-kashmir/srinagar.html" style="font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; outline: 0px;" target="_blank"><span style="border: none 1.0pt; color: #0685db; font-family: inherit; padding: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">Srinagar</span></a>. Pahalgam is a perfect destination for families
looking to spend some leisure time; there are many <a href="http://www.tourmyindia.com/hotelsinindia/hotels-in-pahalgam.html" style="font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; outline: 0px;" target="_blank"><span style="border: none 1.0pt; color: #0685db; font-family: inherit; padding: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">hotels and resorts in Pahalgam</span></a> that offer great value for
money. If you have kids older than 8 years, you can go river rafting in
Lidder River or skiing in Aru Valley. Angling and leisure walks are other
activities you can try out to when in Kashmir.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="background: white; line-height: 18.0pt; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "robotoregular"; font-size: 11.5pt;">Gulmarg couldn’t
charm you more! Set amidst lofty snow-clad mountains, Gulmarg offers holidayers
the time of their life. A <a href="http://www.tourmyindia.com/states/jammu-kashmir/gulmarg-tourist-places.html" style="font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; outline: 0px;" target="_blank"><span style="border: none 1.0pt; color: #0685db; font-family: inherit; padding: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">major attraction in Gulmarg</span></a> is the cable car ride to and
from Kongdoori and Apparwath Peak. The view from the top is breathtaking!
Though, Sonmarg is a bit of an offbeat destination for families, yet it has lot
of interesting things to offer. Camping, tent-staystrekking –to Thajiwas
Glacier, fishing, and strolls along the lake side stroll are some of the things
you can do in Sonmarg. Our fourth destination Srinagar is amongst the best
places to go on a summer holiday with family in India. Besides being the state
capital, Srinagar is also the cash cow of <a href="http://www.tourmyindia.com/states/jammu-kashmir/index.html" style="font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; outline: 0px;" target="_blank"><span style="border: none 1.0pt; color: #0685db; font-family: inherit; padding: 0cm; text-decoration: none;">Jammu & Kashmir tourism</span></a>. Shikara ride, houseboat stay and
water-skiing (if your kids are minimum 12 years of age) are some activities
that can be enjoyed with family in Srinagar. For sightseeing, you can go to
Mughal Gardens namely, Chashma-e-Shahi, Shalimar Bagh and Nishat Garden,
Hazratbal Shrine and Hari Parbat Fort.</span></div>

Alila Fort, Bishangarh
Opening in 2016, Alila Fort Bishangarh is a heritage fortress lovingly restored & transformed into a luxury resort. The original fort is left intact, with much care given to ecological restoration and the reconstruction of new residential areas, to recreate the courtly flavour of Shahpura’s royalty. The grandeur is felt in its stark and inherent simplicity that has withstood the test of time through its fortification. Perhaps the only warrior fort that has been converted into a heritage resort, Alila Fort Bishangarh is a unique example of the Jaipur Gharana architecture influenced by both the Mughals and the British. The two-metre thick ancient walls around the fort have openings for firearms and turrets (known as burjs) as battlements. A completely new structure is created above and outside the old fort to house five different styles of royal suites and the lavish public areas.

become very easy thanks to the Expressways. Hotels start at as cheap as
1000 for the night. Guided tours of the city shouldn’t set you back

Lansdowne
has suddenly come into limelight as this hill station retains much of
its natural charms due to a prior absence of commercialization here.
Imagine you are closest to Delhi (just 250 kms) and you are there in a
proper hill station. The best way to reach here is to board a bus to
Kotdwar, a town 50 km from Lansdowne, and then switch to a local bus, to
help you keep the round trip travel expenses less than Rs. 1000. Even
the most splendid hotels will cost you not more than Rs 1500, sparing
you with Rs 2500 for other expenses.</div>

This
is one religious destination in India that entices everyone with its
monasteries, monks and the alpine views. Since the place has still been
unaffected by commercialization, it can be visited at a really low cost.
The train fare for an individual from Delhi would cost around Rs. 2,000
in the second AC class but hotels wouldn’t charge you much in
comparison to other destinations. Discover this relatively new
destination at a low cost.</div>

Kasauli
is a small hill station near Shimla that enamours everyone who visits
it with its well preserved natural beauty. The most cost effective way
to reach Kasauli is to board a train from Delhi to Kalka and then take a
shared taxi from there to Kasauli. Travel would cost you at around 1500
bucks. Pocket-friendly hotels accommodate you for Rs.1000 or less,
which leaves you with about Rs. 2500 to splurge on the trip. Visit a
small hill station at a small budget.<br />

Just
about 9 hours away from Delhi, Binsar is nothing but 300 kms of
pristine panoramas. The town is famous because of its wildlife
sanctuary, which was declared an important bird region in the late
90's. The easiest and cheapest way to get here is to take a train from
Delhi to Kothgodam, the nearest railway station to Binsar (about 119 Kms
away). And then take a local bus from there. The total cost to reach
(one way), including both the train and the bus journey is around
Rs.1500.</div>

It
is not always important that you can travel only with immense money in
your pockets. The real travel is in fact the one which is done with
little money in hand, something that allows you to know the local
culture better. Any other suggestions, let us know!</div>

<br />
<br />
Experience: It is a lovable hill station.There are many falls,dams,parks. Munnar is filled with thick and dense forest.<br />
<br />
Food, sight-seeing and shopping: There is 'hotel saravanabavan' for very hygienic and tasty food. it was very cheap too. There are a lot of tea gardens. Avery splendorous view of tea plantations and it was very exciting too. its view was like shells of tortoises from the top angle.<br />
<br />
Activities & things to do: Boating at madupetty dam is very exciting and interesting one. Having a speedboat ride in madupetty dam was very much thrilling. We had nice time also by having a ride on elephants. In kundala dam horse ride also available. We spend our time usefully by knowing more about the tea production in tata tea museum. We saw a LCD project beside the whole history of tata tea museum.<br />
<br />
Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: Take shawls, sweaters. If you have a problem of vomiting during hill travels you are advised to take tablets and Lemons with you.<br />
<br />
<b>"Greenary, fresh Air, peaceful envirnoment, neat."</b><br />
<br />
Experience: If you like to stay peacefully without any noise and tension. Munar is the best place to visit with ful of mountains covered with tea plants. Where ever you see you will find greenery. sep to april is the best time to go. we went in oct 2008, that time climate was so good, it was drizzling lightly and entire tea estate was covered with fog in the morning and the evening. Best part is enjoying the nature while travelling the ghat section.<br />
<br />
Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Hotel: we stayed in westWoodRiverside restaurant, it was nice but expensive. Rooms are neat food is ok not so good. Lake was there next to hotel you can enjoy eating by sitting next to the lake and enjoying the nature. you can also try saravana bhavan hotel that is cheap and best. Food: We had nice Fish curry and fry in Silverspoon hotel which is there in middle of city. parata was nice in hotel Spice .... u can try Saravana bhavan, south Indian meals and dosa was nice. Try Strawberry juice which is really Osum!! made of real fresh strawberry fruit, Raw mango with salt and chilly powder, frash carrot, Gua fruits, Jola etc .. all tasted nice and fresh. Shopping: we can get nice Tea for cheaper rate. In Tea museum only they sell tea for cheaper rates. All varieties of tea are availble. I like Cardamon and masala tea flavor. All flavors they add is the natural one so u try all varieties of tea. Good quality Spices also u will get for cheaper rate in KDH shop which is owned by Tata.<br />

Activities & things to do: Places to see: Lukham falls was very nice. Water was pure and chilly. u can play in water, there are rooms are available to change the cloth after playing in water. Anaimudi hill also nice place. it is the highest hill in the south India which has 8832 ft height. Boating in speed boat is nice. Heard body massaging is nice in Kelara but I didnt get time to do. nxt time need to try.<br />
<br />
Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: We went trough KPN travels, every day 1 bus goes Bangalore to Munnar I think. but it took 14 hrs to reach there because of ghat section span around 70 km so journey was tired. you can try train I heard it nice.<br />

"A must visit place"<br />
<br />
Posted Jul 14, 2008<br />
Experience: If u want to rest in peace away from the city life than munnar is the right choice...<br />
<br />
Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Food is not so good..but in market there are two restaurants were you get very good chicken items.. You get good chocolates and tea..there is particular govt tea shop just before the market...you can ask the auto driver..they will show u the way...there u will get genuine products with reasonable rating...chocolates and the spices you can get from the shops in the market.. but do visit 2-3 shops before purchasing as there is lot of bargaining to be done :) ..<br />
<br />
Activities & things to do: There is nothing much to do except site seeing in the day time....which will includes some boating and you can go for an elephant ride..in the evening you can go for shopping...the market closes down around 9...after that it difficult to get any means of communication...if u dont have your own car...its better to go sight seeing with individual vehicle which u get it for 1200 for a day...<br />
<br />
Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: KPN only has good service from Bangalore if you opt for a bus..but the bus journey is very tiring ...Never ever try to go through any tour operator ..they are real cheat..specially manish travels.. they showed us the hotel pictures that were very good and also charges a lot...but the reality was totally different...the hotel room was very dirty and we think we have paid a lot for that..after quarelling for 2 hrs giving warning of consumer court ...he agreed to shift us along with another couple to a good hotel..and those who didn't shout at them stayed in the hotel itself. So its better to book hotels previously and go for a self conduct tour...<br />
<br />
<b>"Awesome green and clean bathed with crystal clear waterfalls"</b><br />
<br />
Experience: Non-commercialized, this small town of Munnar is a velvet green getaway for any nature starved tourist. Surrounded by tea plantations, wildlife sanctuaries, clear blue water bodies and foaming white waterfalls this place is the top refuge for any and everyone<br />
<br />
Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Dont go for north indian food at this south indian heaven. Rather, try Sarvana Bhavan right in the heart of the city offering really tasty food at cheap prices. Beware of the rush that is always there but the jet fast service gives some respite. Any direction you go out of Munnnar is abundant with green hills and water bodies. Worth checking out is Mattupetty dam for a boat ride, Marayoor for sandalwood trees (they smell awesome!!!), Lakham waterfall, Eravikulam national park among others Dont miss to shop for cardamom and tea... On your way around, you will find many tea tasting shops on road near tea plantations that offer you to taste and buy at real cheap prices...<br />
<br />
Activities & things to do: Dont miss bathing in one of the waterfalls... trekking thru tea plantations (its more fun wandering thru a private plantation :D) and a speed boat ride in the lake... try going out to one of the trekking destinations...<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>"Wandering in God's own ......."</b><br />
<br />
Experience: MUNNAR! It was everything we had heard and read about! The greenery just overwhelms you and it is nowhere as commercialized as Ooty or Kodai. Unfortunately it was summer and the waterfalls had all dried up. The views are incredible and we could only imagine how beautiful it would look after the monsoons.<br />
<br />
Food, sight-seeing and shopping: The home made chocolates are great and so are the freshly fried banana chips.<br />
<br />
Activities & things to do: Munnar is a great place for hiking or bicycling. Although we didn't do too much of either there were other tourists who we saw. There is some great speed boating in a lake for 60 bucks a head. I am sure it will be a paradise for bird watchers given the profusion of flora in this place.<br />
<br />
Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: Munnar is about a 3-4 hr drive from Kochi airport. Enroute make sure to drop into the Adi Shankara Kirthistambh Mantapam at Kaladi which is just outside Kochi. This is a multi-storey building which houses a museum that describes Adi Shankara's life and his spiritual journey.<br />

Lakshadweep by Libra<br />
Overview of the destination<br />
I went on a honeymoon cruise aboard the Libra. The route was Mumbai-Lakshadweep-Goa-Mumbai. We went in the first week of march. The weather in Lakshadweep was starting to get hot and humid but it was still bearable. This is a great place to visit with its beautiful untouched beaches and white sand. We enjoyed every moment in Lakhadweep<br />
Food, sight-seeing and shopping<br />
We were present in Lakshadweep only for one day. We spent the entire day on kadmat island. This island has a resort run by the government. There is not much to shop. There is only one activity for sight-seeing. The beautiful beach and the shallow coral lagoon !<br />
<br />
Activities & things to do<br />
We took the full activity package provided by Superstar Libra. It cost around 3500 per head. The package included scuba diving, banana boat ride and glass bottom boat ride. I feel it was a good deal. We enjoyed all of these activites.<br />
<br />
Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc.<br />
We went there by Libra, so every thing was arranged for by these folks.</div>

About Salem Tourism<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><br />
<br />
Salem, one of the major commercial centres of South India, is located in the north-central part of the state of Tamil Nadu. It is situated at a distance of 340 km from the state capital, Chennai. The district is enveloped in Nagaramalai, Jeragamalai, Kanjanamalai and Godumalai hills.<br />
<br />
The word Salem is believed to have originated from Cheram (Keralam or Seram), indicating the region as a Cheram land. During the days of yore, the region was a chief weaving centre with inhabitants engaged in producing Saeylai, a garment worn by women.<br />
<br />
Human civilisation in Salem can be dated back to the Stone Age. The stone implements and dung ash heaps found in and around Salem are testimonies of the Paleolithic and Neolithic age. Salem also witnessed the rise of various dynasties such as Pandiyan, Pallava, Chozha, Hoysala and Chalukya.<br />
<br />
Earlier a part of Kongu Nadu, the first habitation in the region is believed to be of the Ganga Dynasty. The inscriptions dating back to the era of Ganga Dynasty refer the region as ‘country around hills’. The region was ruled by Gangakulam rulers of the Ganga Dynasty for a long period.<br />

After the arrival of Vijayanagar kings, the region came under the governance of Madurai Nayaks. In the early 18th century before the colonial rule, Hyder Ali took over Salem after the Mysore-Madurai war. Salem was annexed by a well known British Governor, Lord Clive, in 1799 and remained a military base for the British till 1861.<br />
<br />
The location is the base for reaching popular tourist destinations such as Yercaud Hills and Kiliyur Falls. Yercaud, a famous hill station of South India, lies in proximity to Salem. Lying on the Servarayan range of the Eastern Ghats at an altitude of 1,515 metres above sea level, the region is famous for coffee plantations, orchidarium and orange groves. Some other notable tourist attractions of the destination are Tharamangalam and Mettur Dam. <br />
<br />
Salem is well connected by air, rail and road. The airport nearest to the destination is Salem Airport, which is served by domestic airlines. Tourists travelling from international destinations can board flights to Chennai International Airport. Salem Junction is the nearest railhead, which is connected with various parts of the country. Travelling by roadways is also convenient with the availability of buses from nearby places including Chennai. <br />
<br />
The destination experiences tropical climatic conditions round the year. The period between the months of November and March is the best time to visit Salem.<br />
