Discover the perfect blend of cool hill-station serenity and dramatic natural waterfalls with our 3-day Yercaud and Hogenakkal tour package. Curated by Team Yathri Holidays, this weekend escape takes you from Kerala up the winding 20-hairpin ghat road to Yercaud in the Shevaroy Hills, followed by an unforgettable river adventure and coracle ride at Hogenakkal Falls—often called the “Niagara of India”.

Pro-Tip: If you are prone to motion sickness, keep travel medication handy for the 20 hairpin bends leading up to Yercaud.
Day 2: Yercaud Hill Sightseeing & Transit to Hogenakkal
Shevaroy Hills Exploration
After breakfast at the hotel, check out and spend the day visiting Yercaud’s prime viewpoints and natural attractions:
- Yercaud Lake: A calm lake set in the center of town surrounded by gardens and trees.
- Famous Panoramic Viewpoints: Take in valley views from Lady’s Seat, Gent’s Seat, and Children’s Seat.
- Botanical Garden & Pagoda Point: Explore rare flora collections and scenic stone pagoda vistas.

Journey to Hogenakkal
In the evening, proceed toward Hogenakkal via Salem and Dharmapuri (approx. 3 hours). Check into your hotel upon arrival for an overnight stay.
Day 3: Hogenakkal Coracle Ride, Waterfalls & Isha Yoga
Coracle Ride & Waterfall Views
After breakfast, check out of the hotel and head toward the Kaveri River. Embark on an exciting traditional coracle ride (round basket boat) over the swirling waters to view the cascading gorges of Hogenakkal Falls up close.
Isha Yoga Experience & Return Journey
After spending time at the falls, proceed toward the Isha Yoga complex to witness their captivating Light & Sound show experience. Afterward, board your vehicle for the 7-hour return drive back to Kerala, reaching Ernakulam by late night.
Traveler’s Note: Bring an extra set of clothes in a waterproof bag for Day 3, as water spray during the Hogenakkal coracle ride is common.
