@ShamikaRavi People are being forced to learn Hindi in Tamilnadu. In Chennai for instance, everyone now knows to speak, 'Bhaiya, ek chai.' Every tea kadai in the city has a Bihari master.
Tourist homestays in Yercaud and Yelagiri are solely run by Biharis.

A 200 kms ride.
Had Pongal at Chinnamanur and turned right towards Meghamalai. At forest checkpost, a young officer wanted a ride. More than happy to offer an half hour ride. Bro was from Cumbum.

@Ananth_IRAS Update:
Distance is 20 kms, would take about half a day, it seems.
Part of Periyar Tiger Reserve, and only forest officials allowed.
