Begin your Yercaud trip by visiting Yercaud Lake. Located in the heart of the town, this man-made lake offers a scenic view surrounded by gardens and trees. You can enjoy boating, paddle boating, and fishing activities here. Adjacent to the lake there is a children's park where kids can have fun with swings, slides, and other games.
On day 2, explore the Kiliyur Falls. The waterfall, positioned in the midst of the forest, gives a breathtaking view. The view from the top of the waterfall is also enjoyable. You need to walk down over 200 steps to get to the bottom of the falls. It is advisable to wear comfortable shoes as it may be slippery and rocky.
Experience the serene view of the hill station by visiting the Pagoda Point. This viewpoint provides views of the Emerald Lake and the entire hill station. There are two pagodas at this point that add charm to the tranquility in the air. The spot is perfect for a family picnic or just sitting and relaxing. Make sure to carry snacks and water.
Wrap up your trip to Yercaud by visiting the Shevaroy Temple, built at the top of Shevaroy hills. It is a famous attraction dedicated to Lord Shevaroyan. Visitors can witness the beautiful architecture of the temple and enjoy the light breeze and grand views from the viewing point. Do carry a light jacket as the hilltop can get windy at times.
If you have more time to spend in Yercaud, consider visiting other popular spots, such as Lady's Seat, Rose Garden, and Deer Park. For adventure enthusiasts, there are various trekking options available in the hills. For a less hectic trip, you may skip Kiliyur Falls and instead head to the nearby Botanical Gardens or Silk Farm for an educational experience.
