Start your trip with a visit to the Yercaud Lake, a natural lake surrounded by lush green forests. Go boating or take a relaxing stroll in the park surrounding the lake. Be sure to bring some snacks for a picnic under the shade of the trees.
Hike to the Kiliyur Falls, one of the most popular tourist destinations in Yercaud. The falls cascade down from a height of 300 feet and offer breathtaking views. Be prepared to climb down over 200 stairs to reach the base of the falls.
Enjoy a beautiful sunset at Lady's Seat, a rock formation that offers a panoramic view of the valley below. The viewpoint is named after a place where women would come to watch the sunset during the colonial era. The road leading to Lady's Seat is also filled with scenic views.
If you have more time, consider visiting the Servarayan Temple or Botanical Garden. If you have less time, skip the Yercaud Lake visit and head straight to Kiliyur Falls. Do wear comfortable shoes and carry enough water while hiking to the falls. Be careful while climbing down the stairs as they can be slippery.
