For the ladies of Snehan Tailoring, the trip to Yercaud was more than just a holiday—it was a long-awaited dream come true. After ten years, we finally made it happen, coming together not just as colleagues but as friends, sharing stories, laughter, and joy like never before.
For some, this was their very first trip—never before had they been taken on a journey by their husbands or families. But here, as a team of eighteen, we embraced the experience wholeheartedly. Traveling in a van, we arrived at Hotel Tamil Nadu, where all of us stayed together in a shared room, free from daily responsibilities, without a single worry about cooking or household chores.
We packed not just clothes, but a sound system too—because what’s a celebration without music? For two glorious hours, we took turns dancing, showcasing talents, and letting our spirits soar. Every meal was an adventure, shared as a group with food of our choice, savored with smiles that reflected the pure happiness of the moment.
Strolling through the mesmerizing flower show, we marveled at the vibrant beauty of nature. We played like carefree children in the park, and for the first time in their lives, many of us experienced the thrill of boat riding—two boats, eight women per boat, gliding over the water with uncontainable excitement and joy.
Then came an unexpected wonder—at 6:30 PM, a thick mist enveloped us, turning the world into a dreamy haze where even those standing ten feet away seemed to disappear into the fog. It was a surreal experience, knowing that just 22 kilometers below, the heat blazed at 100°C, while here, we stood wrapped in the cool embrace of the hills.
Evenings were spent walking by the lake, exploring exhibitions, shopping for little souvenirs to keep the magic of Yercaud alive in our hearts. A delightful surprise awaited us—a chance encounter with Salem RR Biryani, leading us to buy parcels and savor the flavors back at our hotel, turning it into a night to remember.
And then, at the highest point of the hill, we gazed upon Salem city, a tiny masterpiece below us. In that moment, we felt the splendor of God’s creation, realizing just how breathtaking the world truly is. To stand in awe of such beauty, to live and cherish it—that is a blessing beyond words.
This trip was not just a getaway—it was a celebration of friendship, freedom, and the simple joys of life. A chapter in our lives we will hold close to our hearts forever.
