The Best Yercaud Itinerary – Visit the Queen of Eastern Ghats in 2024

Last Updated on April 17, 2024

I am obsessed with the bewitching beauty of the Western Ghats of India . You might get an idea by now if you are a regular reader of my blog. But in this Yercaud travel blog, I’ll take you to the queen of the Eastern Ghats of India.

I have crafted the best 2-day Yercaud Itinerary for you to make the best of your weekend trip to the hill station. But before we jump to the Yercaud trip plan , let me tell you more about the Eastern Ghats.

Eastern Ghats of India

Unlike the Western Ghats, the Eastern Ghats is a discontinuous mountain range cut by the rivers Godavari, Mahanadi, Krishna, and Kaveri.

It starts from Odisha, and traces its way through Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Karnataka and ends in Tamil Nadu. It’s home to some beautiful, offbeat hill stations in India, one of them being Yercaud.

The post contains affiliate links for tours, hotels etc. This means if you make any purchase through the links in the post, I may get a commission without any additional cost to you.

Yercaud Trip Plan at a Glance

One of the most charming places in Tamil Nadu , Yercaud is surrounded by some famous tourist spots of South India – Pondicherry , Kodaikanal , and Coonoor to name a few. But it’s mostly unknown to people outside Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.

Here is a snapshot of the best Yercaud Itinerary for 2 days if you are traveling from Bangalore.

• Day 1: Start from Bangalore at 6 a.m., pause for breakfast at A2B, and reach Yercaud by noon. Then visit the Emerald Lake and the parks around it. End the evening with a sunset at Lady’s Seat.
• Day2: Start with sunrise at Pagoda Park, then have breakfast. Visit the Norton’s bungalow, Bear’s cave, and Montfort School on your way to Shevaroy Temple. There’s a short trek to Killuyur waterfalls. start off for Bangalore by 3 pm

If you are travelling from a nearby town like Salem, this can be combined into a one day trip plan of Yercaud . Jump here to know about the connectivity of Yercaud from nearby cities and towns.

Where to stay in Yercaud?

There are numerous accommodations available in Yercaud for all pocket sizes. I highly recommend staying close to the Pagoda point for two reasons.

First, you can walk to the Pagoda point in the early morning instead of waiting for a cab. Second, it is away from the crowded town, but not too far from the other tourist spots.

Other locations you can choose is near the Montfort School and near Emerald Lake.

Fairholme Bunglow ☑️Heritage Experience ☑️Great Location

A colonial-era British Cottage which the current owners run as a homestay. Close to the Montfort school, this location gives you an old English vibe and the cozy bunglow makes you feel home.

Forest View Resort

☑️Perfect Location ☑️ Affordable

At roughly Rs. 1700 per night, you get lovely views , children’s park and the best location to stay in. Located at a walkable distance form Pagoda point, this pocket-friendly resort offers chargeable services like babysitting, walking tours and themed dinners.

Yercaud Itinerary – A Virtual Tour of the Best Places

Let me take you on a virtual tour of the hills. Thanks to the large number of techies living in Bangalore, Yercaud has emerged as an exotic weekend getaway. It’s not as crowded as Ooty or Kodaikanal and is also just 205km from Bangalore.

Following the shortest route you will take about 5 hours to reach Yercaud if you start off early by 6 am.  This includes a breakfast halt at A2B.

Yercaud is enveloped by the scintillating Shevaroy Hills.  The undulating hills are covered in orange groves, coffee, fruits, and spice plantations.

It got its name from the words “Yeri” which means lake and “Kaddu” which means forest. Couldn’t be more apt given that the township here is built around an opulent lake surrounded by forests.

I have updated this post with the latest information about Yercaud as of 2023.

32-km Loop Road

You adventure in Yercaud begins with the 32-km loop road that has numerous hairpins along the scenic Eastern Ghats. It’s the scenes that unfold here that make Yercaud one of the best places for a road trip from Bangalore . The road leads you to the colonial-era hill station of Yercaud.

There are barricades and mirrors on the turns to help drivers, but you need to be careful. You can also go for a hike on this road if you are indeed up to it. With coffee plantations, spice farms on one side, and hill-forests on the other, this is a mesmerizing experience. 

On you way to Yercaud from Bangalore take this scenic tour before you reach the hotel. You will feel like stopping at the various viewpoints in this journey.

Boat in the Emerald Lake aka Yercaud Lake 

 The first thing to do after lunch is to head straight to the Emerald lake. Did you know this is the only natural lake in a South Indian hill station ? You will enjoy the scenic forests around and the floating fountain in the lake when you go boating.

Thrive in the biodiversity of the Deer Park

After this enjoy some snacks at the Yercaud lake and walk towards the deer park. It is also known as the eco-tourism park for amazing biodiversity. Imagine walking in a park with deer, peafowls, and ducks taking an evening walk with you.

Walk to the Botanical Garden

Keep walking a little more and you will reach the botanical garden. This green oasis has 3000 trees and 18000 shrubs spread over the 18 hectares of land. It’s truly a delight to senses… and lungs.

Some adventure activities at Anna Park

Anna Park is another small beautiful park near the lake. Here you can enjoy quad bike riding and zip-lining. It’s equally interesting for children and adults, making it a perfect spot for families in the evening.

See the mesmerizing sunset at Lady’s Seat

Remember that you are in the East and here the sun sets earlier than Bangalore. After enjoying your time in the lake and gardens it’s time to drive to this famous viewpoint.

It’s called the Lady’s Seat. A revered English lady used to spend the evenings watching the sunset on this rock. Thus this unassuming place got its name.

Day2: Start with Sunrise at Pagoda Point

Our hotel was very close to the Pagoda hill-top. So I woke up early in the morning to hike to the Pagoda point on my own. Somehow, I just lost my way and went and explored the valley and came back for breakfast. Then we asked the hotel managers and set out for our trip to the real place.

Pagoda point is also known as Pyramid Point and it got its name from the for piles of four stones that have been arranged in the shape of the Pyramid. Away from the tourist crowd, this place is best enjoyed in the early morning on a clear day.

Near Pagoda point, there is a Rama temple where the locals visit to seek blessings.

Offbeat Norton’s bungalow and Bear’s Cave

Return to your hotel for breakfast and check out. The Norton’s Bunglow is a secret destination on the way to Shevaroy Temple road. This quintessential English bungalow has inspired many Bollywood scenes. It is the oldest known bunglow in this hill station. A rich British Lawyer from Chennai constructed it here.

The Bear’s cave situated in a private coffee estate near the Norton Bungalow is a craft of nature. Some believe that there used to be a secret tunnel inside for the royals to escape during emergency.

Montfort School

You might not think of visiting a school on your trip somewhere, but Montfort School is special. You can get permission to enter this prestigious and historic school on the weekends.

The marvelous architecture of the buildings here will leave you awestruck. There’s also a small zoo inside the campus.

You will find some of the largest and best boarding schools of India in these British-era hill stations. Another such heritage school that has become a massive tourist is the Dr. Graham’s Homes in Kalimpong. Know more about the Himalayan hill station in my Kalimpong travel blog .

Tipperary viewpoint

This is another viewpoint from where you can get mesmerizing views of the Shevaroy hills.

Trek to the delightful Killyur Falls

Kiliyur Falls is located at a distance of 4 km from the Bus Stand. This beautiful cascade is hidden deep in the forest.

So, you will need to take a slant walk of 1km through the forests before reaching a flight of steps. After walking 200 plus narrow steep stairs you will reach this beautiful place. 

The waterfall was underwhelming for me when we visited in December . So, you may skip it if you are short of time. Instead visit the offbeat Norton’s Bunglow. Here’s a comparison of what the falls look like in the Creative Commons pictures and what we found.

Servarayan Temple or Shevaroy Temple

Sitting at an altitude of 5326 feet above sea- level, The Servarayan temple occupies the highest peak of Shevaroy Hills.

It is dedicated to the Hindu deity Servarayan and his consort Kaveri Amma. It offers a spectacular view of the Mettur Dam and the entire valley.  This too requires a short trek, so you need to watch your time, if you have to return the same day.

Ending the Yercaud itinerary with a throwback selfie to our memorable trip with friends on a Christmas Weekend.

How to reach Yercaud?

The nearest big cities near Yercaud are Bangalore and Chennai. It’s very easy to reach Yercaud from either of these two places by car. There are overnight buses from Bangalore which leave on Friday, and also in the early morning on Saturday.

The morning buses tend to be late, so I’d prefer the overnight buses on Friday. That way you will reach Yercaud in the early morning and have a lot of time to explore.

It is just 35 km from Salem, making Yercaud a perfect destination for a one day trip from Salem .

Distance from Bangalore to Yercaud: 230 km

Distance from Chennai to Yercaud: 365km

You can explore the best of Yercaud on a two-day trip. However, if you are travelling with family you may want to spend more time in the hills away from the heat and humidity of the cities nearby.

What’s Next After Yercaud?

Inspired to visit Yercaud? You may also like to combine this with a trip to the Fench Colony of Pondicherry , which is 240 km away from Yercaud. You may also like to check out the posts below:

These are some stunning pictures! Thank you for bringing out yet another hidden gem from our beloved country. I have heard about Pagoda Point and yearning to go there someday. Your post has motivated me even further.

We have visited Yercaud a number of times and we really love this place! In spite of visiting it so many times, I think we may have missed a few tourist places…hopefully we will catch it next time! 🙂

Yercaud is a beautiful place. A fovourite weekend getaway from Bengaluru.Your pictures are wonderful.

I’ve been to the vicinity of this place but not explored Yercaud. Hope to do it some day.

Thanks Noor

I was sure that I would be reading about Yercaud today. I have been to this place during my stay in Bangalore and because it was my last trip before leaving Bangalore for good, I have some fond memories of the trip.

Thanks Sonia. I too enjoyed Yercaud, mainly because it was not as crowded as the nearby hill stations.

I live in Tamil Nadu yet Yercaud has not happened yet, it’s on my go to list. Thanks for the guide and beautiful pictures.

Thanks a lot!

I apologise, but, in my opinion, you are not right. I am assured. I can defend the position. Write to me in PM, we will discuss.

Hi, Thanks for your comment. I don’t know what’s controversial about the itinerary but I’m interested to listen to your defense 🙂

A Trip to Yercaud – a picturesque Hill Station in South India

This time we happened to make a trip to Yercaud, a lesser known hill station of South India. But being less known in no way demeans the beauty of this picturesque hill station. Yercaud is located in Salem district of the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu. And it is part of the Shevaroy Hills in Eastern Ghats, which are widely known for their orange groves, coffee, fruits and spice plantations. Yercaud gets it name from Yercaud Lake and forests around this lake. In Tamil, “Yeri” means lake and “Kaddu” means forest. Both of these words together make Yercaud which means Lake Forest.

Yercaud is located at a distance of 30 KM from Salem, around 250 KM from Bangalore and around 350 KM from Chennai. It is a great choice as a weekend gateway from the Bangalore. And one can easily plan a trip to Yercaud from Bangalore. After Ooty and Kodikanal , Yercaud is the third hill station in Tamil Nadu that we have visited. Although we have been to several other hill stations in South India . Which include a trip to Coorg , wherein we stayed in a homestay – Casa Coorg , Chikmagaluru wherein again we stayed in a homestay – The Courtyard Homestay . And B R Hills where we spent a weekend in Gorukana resort . Also, Munnar in Kerala . Wish there were similar homestays & eco resorts in Yercaud!

Planning a trip to Yercaud

I must admit that this trip to Yercaud was not a very thoroughly planned trip for us. In the beginning of August we planned to utilize upcoming long weekend, which was going to come with our national holiday 15th August. So, we thought to visit some place near to Bangalore which we have not visited before. Bangalore being the silicon valley of India, many peoples here are always on look out for a long weekend. So that they could get a chance to get a break from there long tiring work schedule and could revive themselves. Hence, until if you have not planned well in advance it is very difficult to get accommodation in famous and well known tourist places around Bangalore.

And we also faced the penalty of starting late with our planning. Accommodations at most of the famous places we tried out were already full. So, as a plan B we started looking for some not very known and as popular places. And in this course of action we zeroed down to Yercaud and planned a trip to Yercaud. Although Yercaud was also not as freely available as we thought. But we managed to get an accommodation.

Journey Day

It was a road journey. And on the day we started our trip to Yercaud around 6 AM in the morning from Bangalore. We reached Yercaud around 11 AM, after a 5 hours of scenic driver. And this time includes all the pit stops we had taken for breakfast and other refreshments, which may sum up to around 1 hour. The route taken by us was through Bangalore – Hosur -Krishnagiri – Salem – Yercaud. Most of the part of this route is very scenic and a visual treat to drive through. It reminded us one of the most scenic driver that we had taken to Kodaikanal few years back.

Things to do in Yercaud

There are many places of attractions in Yercaud, ranging from lakes to view points to gardens to water falls. So, one can plan places to cover based on ones interest and schedule. These are the few places which we could visit in our limited timeframe. Moreover, these places are quite popular among tourists and are worth to give a shot:

Yercaud Lake

A trip to Yercaud is not complete without visiting Yercaud Lake. As mentioned, Yercaud gets it name from this lake. And, this lake is located in the centre of Yercaud town and is at a distance of 1.5KM from Yercaud bus station. Yercaud lake, also known as Emerald lake is spanned in a very large area. Moreover, this is a completely natural lake.  Also, this lake is surrounded by cloud laden hills, gardens and well groomed large trees. Whole area around the lake feels very vibrant and pleasant. So, I must say this is a visual treat to be there for anyone.

Deer Park and Leisure Park

Deer park and Leisure park located on the bank of the lake is also a major tourist attraction. Especially deer park will be fun for kids. This park is not very big in size but is well maintained. Other than deers this park has many other species such as swans, peacock and hamsters. Also, there was a kids play area inside where kids can enjoy their time. Further, at different spots they have placed swings, where one can sit and relax swinging.

Botanical Garden

Botanical garden is one of the top attractions of Yercaud. It is located at a distance of 2.5 KM from Yercaud bus station and around 3 KM from Yercaud lake. Yercaud botanical garden is house of various exotic species of flowers and plants. Further this garden is divided in multiple sections such as butterfly garden, herbal garden, rock garden, foliage garden, water garden, sensory garden topiary garden and bonsai garden. If one enjoys being amidst nature and loves to explore various types of plants and flowers, botanical garden is a must visit for him or her.

Garden has amazing range of rare plants and flowers along with many preserved endanger species. Among all these one of the most attractive part is Orchidarium. The National Orchidarium is established in the year 1963 and it spread in an area of 18.4 hectares. It is the third largest Orchidarium in India and is run by the Botanical Survey of India. The Orchidarium houses many endangered species of orchids. And it has a large collection of native orchids. Similar to Orchidarium, the green house is another major attraction in the garden.

Kiliyur Falls

Kiliyur Falls is located at a distance of 4 km from Yercaud Bus Stand. Visit to Kiliyur falls is a combination of serenity and adventure. So I will recommend to add visiting Kiliyur falls in your itinerary during your trip to Yercaud, but with a small disclaimer. If you are traveling with small kids and/or older people, then reaching to the point of Kiliyur falls will be little challenging. As, in the first part of your journey you will have to take a slant walk of around 1 km. Which is still manageable. But after that you will have to take some 200 plus narrow steep stairs to reach to the final point where fall is located. And climbing those steep narrow stairs is little daunting task and you will have to be careful with your steps.

But after taking all this trouble once you reach to the falls, you will not regret it at all. And all the tedious effort you had put behind to reach here will feel all worthy. You will encounter one of the most beautiful waterfall. Kiliyur falls is very live. You will witness the plethora of water crushing against stones. Chillness and freshness spread in the environment around the waterfall gives a mesmerizing feeling. Greenery around this waterfall is bliss to watch. I myself visited this place with parents and a 3.5 years old kid.

Lady’s Seat

Lady’s Seat is a famous view point in Yercaud from where you can get panoramic view of Salem town, ghat road and valley. In real, it is cluster of naturally made rocks in shape of a seat. As per local belief, a white English lady used to spend the evenings watching the panoramic view from this rock. Hence it got its name, Lady’s Seat. It is also a wonderful place to watch sunset. And, in dark you can get amazing view of glittering Salem town. Lady’s seat is located on the South West of Shevaroy hills , at a distance of 2 KM for Yercaud Bus Stand.

Pagoda Point

This an another famous view point in Yercaud located in eastern part of hills. It is at a distance of 4 KM from Yercaud Bus Stand. This point is away from hustle bustle of Yercaud main town. Pagoda point is also known as Pyramid point and it got its name from the for piles of four stones that have been arranged in the shape of Pyramid. Pagoda point is very famous for its wonderful surroundings and one can feel the aroma and chillness of nature at this point. Also, here one can observe amazing sunrise and sunset views.

Near Pagoda point there is a temple of Sri Rama. And this makes it also and important pilgrimage site which also attracts many devotees.

My Special Recommendation: Hotel Great Trails Yercaud By GRT

Plan to visit Hotel Great Trail (GRT) in Yercaud. Mainly it is a residential place and if you could get a chance to stay in this hotel during your stay in Yercaud then it is well good. But even if you could not get a chance to stay in this hotel, still you can plan to visit it. This hotel has a restaurant which is open to outsiders also. So you can plan a breakfast, lunch or dinner whatever suits you.

The reason why I asked to visit this hotel is its open air lawn. Hotel has a valley facing lawn which is accessible to in-house guest as well as to restaurants guest. And from this lawn you get a chance to capture heavenly beautiful view of hills and valleys. And this experience will be kind of lifetime experience. If small kids are accompanying you, then they will get ample of place to run and play. And, If you are visiting after dark then you can get a wonderful chance to capture sparkling view of valley with all lights lit.

Other Places of Interest

Apart from what I have mentioned above there are many other famous places which one can plan to visit during ones trip to Yercaud. Some of them includes:

Anna park (1 km from Yercaud Bus Stand), Tipperary Viewpoint (2 km from Yercaud Bus Stand), The Grange (a heritage site 2 km from Yercaud Bus Stand), Sri Raja Rajeswari Temple (4 km from Yercaud Bus Stand), Shevaroyan Temple (7 km from Yercaud Bus Stand) etc.

Also you can take a walk of Yercaud town. Yercaud is very green and natural. So taking a stroll in town will be an exercise of great worth. You will get chance to capture fresh shots of Oxygen and to feel the closeness of nature.

The point is located in the eastern part of the Yercaud Hills and is one of the best places to see the natural beauty of Yercaud. One can see the whole town of Salem spread below from this point. There are about 21 hairpin bends in the region and a dreamy mist always envelopes this place. The place gets its name because there is a mysterious pile of stones that are lain one atop the other that gives it the shape of a pagoda which are believed to be kept there by the earlier local tribes. A temple dedicated to Lord Ram is also to be seen here. The cliffs around the point are also a great spot for hiking and trekking and the sunrise and sunset from here are striking.

This can be witnessed in the silk farm of Yercaud and which is located very close to the above-mentioned Lady’s Seat. The farm is open to visitors and here one can see how the silkworms are reared and fed on mulberry leaves and then how they spun the cocoons from which silk threads are derived.

Yercaud - No More Ooty Of Poor

Yercaud is one of my favorite hill stations. It is an excellent weekend gateway. This a great place to relax and you can visit the place with your family or friend.

About the place

Yercaud is a hill station in Salem district of Tamilnadu. It is 230 km from Bangalore.

Yercaud is called as Ooty of Poor, however it is nothing less than Ooty. This is beautiful hill station with many stunning view points. It became one of the busiest weekend gateways specially from Bangalore.

Drive to Yercaud from Bangalore will be the first thing to enjoy. Excellent road throughout starting from Bangalore through Krishnagiri, Salem and finally to Yercaud. There are 22 hairpin bend in Salem- Yercaud road. I was bit scared first time when I drove to Yercaud, however I did not face any challenge in any of the hairpin bend as it so nicely planned. One thing I want to mention here is if you follow Google Map if sometimes show an exit few km before Salem and the road goes through a forest. Avoid that as that is restricted area, go by Salem.

My Experience

Yercaud is very special to me. My first outstation trip with my little champ was to Yercaud.

I visited Yercaud twice. First one was back on 2015. The ghat road was so beautiful that I was feeling to keep driving on the road. I stayed two days and visited all the tourist spot there. I have have provided the details about each place below in Place to Visit section.

Second time I have visited in 2017. This time it was just an relaxing trip. We had some plan to roam around few places, however it was raining almost every time and it was always cloudy. The funny part it whenever I opened the balcony door cloud used to enter the room. Anyways it did not impact much our plan as we mainly wanted to stay in the resort.

Place to Visit

This is one of the famous attractions of Yercaud. It is situated in the middle of the town. It is a beautiful lake and looks very clean. It has different kind of boating. It surrounded by small park. A must visit place if you are in Yercaud. Beside the lake I have seen many stalls with different kind of fruits and vegetables which is worth to try.

The best view point in Yercaud. From Lady's Seat you can see the Yercaud loop road. Bit narrow road to this point and parking bit difficult. However, you should not miss this place.

Gent's Seat

This is another famous few points and very close to Lady's Seat.

Silk Farm & Rose Garden

The farm and garden spread over several acres full of greeneries, plants. It is beside Gents Seat. This also has a small Children Park inside.

The Servaroyan Temple

This is a famous temple o Yercaud and it is situated at highest peak of Yercaud. The road from the city center to the temple is very beautiful. Beside the temple, the view point is again very famous point

Kiliyur waterfall

The waterfall is 2 km away from city center and one of the prime attractions of Yercaud, The view from the waterfall is very nice.

Beside the Yercaud Lake there is Dear park. While visit the lake you can plan to visit it.

Yercaud is full of hotels and resorts of all tariff ranges. It has many premium resorts and many budget hotel. Both the time I have stayed at Hotel Grand Palace. It is beautiful resorts and one of the best in Yercaud. In one side you can see the Yercaud City and on the other side the beautiful hills from the resort.
