| Yercaud, Tamil Nadu -This resort town is called the Jewel of the South, and for good reason. It’s nestled in the Sheravoys in the Eastern ghats, surrounded by verdant forests, picturesque coffee plantations, and colourful orange tree groves. The dense forests of sandalwood and teak are home to many species, like bison, deer, foxes, swallows and bulbuls, which you can spot while trekking. Take in the enchantingly serene lake from the many lookout points available. Also don’t miss Shevaroy temple, sitting at an altitude of 1623 m, making it the highest point in Yercaud. The view from there is also spectacular. |
