Famous for its spice and coffee plantations, Yercaud with its parks, gardens, old colonial structures, stunning viewpoints, plantation trails, and lakes, is perfect for admiring nature, boating, off-roading, going for long walks or just curling up with a book! This small former colonial outpost is best explored by staying at little homestays, which allow the traveler to experience its real old-world, beguiling charm. Check out the best homestays in Yercaud, India, for your stay.
