Loop Road

One of the best places to visit or things to do in Yercaud is hit the Loop Road for a long (joy) ride. The Loop Road covers Yecaud Lake - Mailapatti - Manjakuttai - Cauvery Peak Road - Semmanatham - Naglur - Yercaud lake path. The ride will take your through lush coffee plantations, quiet hamlets, forested hill slopes and the wildlife populating the region. If you visit Yercaud during the rains, switch off the AC, roll down the windows and fill your lungs with as much fresh mountain air as possible. The Mahameru temple and the Karadiyur view point fall on this path. Tourists going for a morning drive may travel via Manjakottai for a pleasant sunrise view. On the other hand, evening sojourners should ideally make a halt at the Servarayan temple by 5 PM to make the most of the trip.
