Start your adventure by visiting Yercaud Lake, a serene and scenic lake located in the heart of the town. You can enjoy boating and paddle boating in the lake, or simply take a pleasant walk around it. The surrounding gardens are perfect for a picnic.
Next, head to Pagoda Point, a viewpoint that offers breathtaking panoramic views of the town and its surroundings. You can also go on a short trek to see the nearby viewpoint of Lady's Seat. The place is known for its pagoda-like structure built with stones.
End your first day with a visit to Kiliyur Falls, a stunning waterfall cascading down from a height of 300 feet. You can take a trek to reach the waterfall, with scenic views on the way. For the adventurous souls, it's possible to trek down to the bottom of the fall.
Start your second day with a drive along the 32-km Loop Road to enjoy the scenic beauty of Yercaud. It covers some of the must-visit places like the Kottachedu Teak Forest and the Sri Chakra Mahameru Temple. The points along the loop lookout offer some scenic viewpoints of the valley.
Visit the Shevaroy Temple next, a peaceful temple located on a hill near the town. The view of the valley from the temple is mesmerizing. The temple is dedicated to Lord Shevaroyan and Goddess Kaveri, and is believed to have healing powers.
If you have more time, you can visit the Bear's Cave or the Anna Park for more adventure. The Bear's Cave is a natural cave believed to have been used by the ancient tribes, while Anna Park is a beautiful park with a flower garden, an amusement park for children and a food court area.
If you have less time, consider skipping the 32-km Loop Road. It can be time-consuming, and other places like Bear's Cave or Anna Park can provide more excitement within a short span of time.
