  1. Day 1: Anna Park
    7 minutes (1.1 km) from Yercaud Bus Stand

    Start your Yercaud adventure and spend your first day strolling through the Anna Park; a famous park featuring a beautiful rose garden, a Japanese garden, and a flower show taking place annually in May. Take a family picture while enjoying the refreshing view of the lake from one of the benches.

  2. Day 2: Pagoda Point
    12 minutes (6.4 km) from Anna Park

    Enjoy a drive to the Pagoda Point to catch the sunrise. Don't miss the breath-taking panoramic view of the surrounding hills and the city. Take a family picture while enjoying the fresh mountain air. After that, you can head towards the delicious Yercaud lake roadside food stalls for breakfast.

  3. Day 3: Kiliyur Falls
    22 minutes (6.9 km) from Grange Park

    The Kiliyur Falls is a magnificent sight to see. Especially after the monsoons that fill the lake and give life to deep woods of the Eastern Ghats. The pristine waterfall and the picturesque surroundings is a delightful sight, worth every second of the trek. The trek can be quite challenging, so bring snacks and water bottles.

Time and Costs Estimates

  • Anna Park (1-2 hours, ₹30 per person)
  • Pagoda Point (1-2 hours, Free)
  • Kiliyur Falls Trek (2-3 hours, Free)
  • Total Estimated Costs (per person): ₹30

Useful Tips

If you have more time, you can check out the Killiyur Waterfalls Lake for a boat ride or head to the Kottachedu Teak Forest for a guided nature walk. If you prefer indoor activities, visit the Grange Park to learn about the history of Yercaud and enjoy the vintage automobiles displayed there.

If you have less time, you can skip Anna Park and head straight to Pagoda Point on your first day. You can also choose to hire a taxi for your commute to these places, but doing a self-drive or renting a bike is a more budget-friendly option.
