TOURIST ACTIVITIES AND DESTINATIONS in TGI Star Holidays - Yercaud


Yercaud Lake:


          The Yercaud Lake is a picturesque pool surrounded by gardens and beautiful trees. The garden surrounding the lake is well groomed and best seen during the month of May when the Summer Festival is organized. A pool surrounded by gardens and well-wooded trees.


Lady’s Seat:



              One of the best views that Yercaud promises. You can enjoy the panoramic view of the ghats and all the distant vehicles dwindling their way in and out of trees along the winding ghat road. It surely is a breath-taking view. You can have a closer view of the plains below with the help of the telescope mounted at the Lady’s Seat. This view is spectacular at night with the twinkling lights of Salem town in sight. It gives a feeling of looking over a bed of twinkling diamonds and if you are lucky to have a moonlit night nothing could be more romantic. Tourists can have a panoramic view of the plains below through the telescope mounted at the Lady’s seat.



Killiyur Falls:

                     Kiliyur Falls is a 90-feet high waterfall situated amidst picturesque surroundings of Yercaud. Akasagangai waterfall is in Kolli hill which is known for medical herbs and plants.
