About Yercaud
This misty hill station cascades down emerald slopes planted with coffee bushes and orange groves that perfume the mountain air. The landscape shifts between thick forest, terraced plantations, and sudden vistas of the plains below. Morning mist rolls through valleys where farmers still harvest by hand, their baskets heavy with ripened fruit.
