Pagoda Point
Pagoda Point (Pyramid Point)
A cliff-edge lookout southeast of town. Beside the 'pagoda' stone cairns built by tribal residents, you can gaze over the Aiyar Valley and the distant plains.
Pagoda Point, also known as Pyramid Point, takes its name from four pagoda-shaped stone cairns built by local tribal residents, with a small shrine to Lord Rama in the middle. It sits on the southeastern edge of Yercaud, with views down into the Aiyar Valley and the distant plains. The vista is broader than at Ladies' Seat and the crowds are smaller, making it a great spot for sunrise and sunset. It is about 5 km from the lake, reachable by taxi or bicycle. Entry is free, but take care in strong winds.
