2-Day Adventure Itinerary in Yercaud in July 2023

  1. Day 1: Pagoda Point
    20 minutes (3.5 km) from Yercaud Bus Stand

    Morning: Start your day early with a visit to Pagoda Point, a popular viewpoint that offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding hills and valleys. Enjoy the cool morning breeze and take in the beauty of the sunrise.
    Afternoon: Head to the nearby 32-acre Anna Park for a leisurely stroll through its well-manicured lawns and vibrant flower beds. The park has a play area, a Japanese garden, and a small aquarium.
    Evening: End your day with an exhilarating trek through the lush green forests around the Kiliyur Falls. The falls are at their best during the monsoon season, and the trek is steep and challenging, but the view is worth it.

  2. Day 2: Shevaroy Hills
    30 minutes (8 km) from Pagoda Point

    Morning: Start your day with a visit to the Shevaroy Hills, which is the highest point in Yercaud. Take a trek through the dense forests and enjoy the fresh air and the beautiful views of the valley.
    Afternoon: Head to the Yercaud Lake for some boating and fishing or a picnic by the lake. The lake is surrounded by lush greenery and offers a peaceful and calm environment.
    Evening: End your day with a visit to the Bear's Cave. The cave is a natural formation and is said to have been used by bears as a shelter. The trek to the cave is steep and challenging, but the view from the top is worth it.

Recommendations

If you have extra time, you could consider visiting the Botanical Garden, Lady's Seat, or the Montfort School. You could also take a day trip to Salem to visit the Salem Fort or the Mettur Dam. To maximize your fun, you could hire a local guide who can take you on an offbeat trek or suggest local food and shopping options. Don't forget to try the local cuisine, especially the biryani and filter coffee!
