The problem with most tourists is that they are always looking for something to do. A holiday, to them, is like an expedition. They arm themselves with maps and brochures, survey the geography, imbibe the history, and return with a suitcase full of souvenirs and undeveloped film rolls. Then there are the adventure tourists who’re always climbing rocks, rafting rivers, and trekking like there’s no tomorrow. Little wonder, then, that if you recommend Yercaud to a vacationer, he’ll reply: "Oh, but there’s nothing to do, there."
If you don’t want shopping, noise, and enjoy only the serene calmness of the mountains, yercaud is the destination. Sterling yercaud has a stunning view of the mountains . room was not like what we had expected . not luxurious, but economy type. Food was too oily our taste! The ambience and service is very good. And then there is hot water available throughout.:)
We visited Yercaud in Dec’06, just perfect weather, not 2 cold!
Coming to activities Yercaud . there is Purfume factory . you get good stuff there . oils, perfume, creams etc. Once you get into this soothing, lake-centred, quiet and undisturbed green place, you don’t have to do anything but unwind .
