Holiday Home Yercaud

Pagoda Point:

                This is also another vantage viewpoint. Once upon a time a beautiful place adorned with stone built pagodas, it is now home to a huge temple. The neighborhood is splashed with erratic buildings that are a real turn off. Yet, if you haven’t been there, don’t miss it. The best time to visit it is during the night or early morning. It gives you a totally unique view of Salem and a voyeur’s view over the little village called Kakambadi. The cliff on the opposite side is fabulous and any rock climber wouldn’t be able to resist the temptation to scale them.

Silk Farm and Rose Garden:

                 Situated very close to Lady’s Seat, Silkworms are reared here. Located 2 km from Yercaud town, tourists can see the cultivation of mulberries, growing of silk worms, and methods of silk-spinning. The rose garden has a collection of varieties of roses. There is a nursery in this garden which sells plants.
