Shevaroy Temple is dedicated to Lord Shevaroyan, the presiding deity of the hill station. The temple is located on the flat top of the Shevaroy hills between Yercaud and Salem. This place offers scenic views of the entire Yercaud area, which includes coffee plantations, orange, guava, and pomegranate orchards, and trekking trails. You can also witness the exquisite natural beauty of Eastern Ghats from the hilltop temple.
If you have more than 2 days, you can visit The Botanical Garden and Rose Garden. Both of the places are less crowded and provide an insight into the rich flora diversity of the Eastern Ghats and other regions. Additionally, the Orchard Trail, which connects various plantations, is an exciting trekking trail that could be included if you have an extra day. People with less than 2 days can skip Kiliyur falls since it requires engaging in trekking activities, and the path is a bit challenging for the elders and children.
