About this Place

Pagoda Point is a prominent viewpoint in Yercaud, offering spectacular panoramic views of the entire Salem city and the surrounding Ghats. The unique feature of this point is the presence of four piles of stones, arranged in a pagoda-like formation, believed to have been built by local tribes.

These stone structures are dedicated to Lord Rama, adding a spiritual touch to the scenic beauty. Visitors can enjoy the cool breeze, lush green landscapes, and the distant twinkling lights of Salem city, especially enchanting during sunrise and sunset. It's an ideal spot for photography, relaxation, and soaking in the natural grandeur of the Eastern Ghats.
