About Yercaud Tourism

Yeracaud is situated in the green vistas of the Shervaoyan Hills in the Eastern Ghats, close to the town of Salem in Tamil Nadu. Its popularity as an escape from the heat and grime of the city rests not just upon its landscape of forest covered hill-sides, and coffee, cardamom and black pepper plantations,  but also its very affordability, as against the more up-market Ooty. The picturesque man-made lake here is a popular spot for picnickers. Yercaud started gaining popularity as a hillstation in the 19th century. It was David Cockburn, the Scottish Collector of Salem (said to have first introduced the cultivation of coffee here) who set about developing its natural resources. The Grange, his old home which still stands, was fortified and equipped with ramparts and cannons, to act as a sanctuary for the European community here, in the event of another uprising after the Indian Mutiny.

It is a place for nature lovers with ambient climate to relax in summer. Unlike ooty it is still unexploited and hence not popular asFood, sight-seeing and shopping
One cannot expect much choice here. But whatever available is very good because most of them are grown organically or without much pesticides and chemicals.Activities & things to do
Boating, trekking and cycling if you are able to get it on rentTravel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc.
From Salem one can get there by bus. Taxis are very costly. For just 35 km they may charge upto rs 1000/-. However some times
