Shevaroy Escape

Yercaud sits at 1,515 metres in the Shevaroy Hills — a compact hill station with coffee estates, a peaceful lake, and an unhurried pace that its more famous neighbours lost long ago. The ghat road up from Salem climbs through 20 hairpin bends before delivering you to cooler air, areca nut groves, and a hilltop that feels genuinely removed from the plains below. It's Tamil Nadu's most underrated hill station, and the timing of your visit makes all the difference.
