Start your trip with a visit to the Yercaud Lake, a scenic water body with boating facilities. Enjoy the cool breeze and the serene view of the lake surrounded by lush green hills. Then, head to the nearby Deer Park and watch the friendly deers wandering around. Before heading back, visit the Anna Park, a small park with beautiful flowers and a Japanese garden.
Get ready for a nature-filled day at the Kottachedu Teak Forest. With an area of over 200 hectares, the teak forest provides an amazing experience of trekking through the dense woods. The forest is home to various species of birds and animals, including the Indian bison. After trekking, head to the nearby Kiliyur Falls, a picturesque waterfall with a height of 300 feet. Take a refreshing dip in the pool formed by the waterfall.
End your trip with a visit to the Pagoda Point, a beautiful viewpoint with a cluster of four mounds resembling the shape of a pyramid. From here, you can enjoy a panoramic view of the valley and the town of Salem. After that, head to the nearby Bear's Cave, a natural cave located in a coffee estate. Explore the cave and spot the bats roosting in the dark corners.
If you have extra time, you can visit the Shevaroy Temple or go for a trek in the Shevaroy Hills. For food, try the local South Indian cuisine at the Green Apple Restaurant or snacks at the GRT Nature Trails. If you have less time, skip the Anna Park and Bear's Cave, and add a visit to the Sri Raja Rajeswari Temple.
