Nestled in the serene Shevaroy Hills of Tamil Nadu, Yercaud is a tranquil hill station known for its lush coffee plantations, misty weather, and colonial charm. Perched at an altitude of 4,970 feet, this small town offers a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of city life, with its pristine landscapes, pleasant climate, and a slower pace that soothes the soul.

The name "Yercaud" comes from the Tamil words Yeri (lake) and Kaadu (forest), meaning “Lake Forest.” Once a retreat for British officials during colonial times, Yercaud still retains a nostalgic charm in its old bungalows, botanical gardens, and winding roads bordered by tall silver oak and eucalyptus trees.
