Yercaud Taxi Service for 20 Hairpin Bends & Shevaroy Hills

Discover the Jewel of the South: Private Sightseeing Taxis in Yercaud

Yercaud, nestled high in the Shevaroy Hills of the Eastern Ghats at an elevation of 1,515 meters in Salem district, is affectionately celebrated as the "Jewel of the South." Characterized by its serene mountain lake, aromatic coffee and spice plantations, orange orchards, and cool mountain breezes, Yercaud offers an intimate, tranquil, and budget-friendly hill station experience. While the town center centers on the Emerald Lake, many of Yercaud’s finest viewpoints and nature spots—including Pagoda Point, Lady’s Seat, Killiyur Falls, and the Shevaroy Temple—are scattered across quiet mountain ridges several kilometers apart. Booking a private sightseeing taxi with TN Cabs ensures you experience the scenic beauty of the Shevaroy Hills in complete comfort, with certified mountain chauffeurs experienced in navigating winding hill roads, narrow lanes, and the famous 20 hairpin curves.

With TN Cabs, your hill holiday is supported by experienced chauffeurs who know every scenic lookout, spice plantation, and peaceful coffee estate detour across the hills.

One-Day Sightseeing Tour vs Weekend Hill Retreat

We tailor our sightseeing taxi packages to match your holiday schedule:

• Classic One-Day Yercaud Sightseeing Tour: Ideal for visitors arriving from Salem Junction railway station or nearby districts. Start your morning with a tranquil walk and pedal boating at Emerald Lake, visit the Botanical Garden and Orchidarium, enjoy a traditional lunch in town, explore Lady’s Seat and Pagoda Point in the afternoon, and visit the cave shrine at Shevaroy Temple before descending the ghats.
• Relaxing Weekend Hill Retreat: On day two, take an invigorating hike down to Killiyur Falls, explore the heritage architecture of Montfort School, take a drive through the Kottachedu Teak Forest, and visit the historic Grange estate—one of the oldest commercial coffee plantations in the region.

Why Choose a Dedicated Cab for Yercaud Sightseeing

While Yercaud is relatively compact, attractions are spread across different mountain ridges, and public transport is infrequent. Walking between viewpoints involves steep uphill gradients along winding roads without pedestrian paths. A private air-conditioned cab provides a cool, comfortable sanctuary where family members can relax between walks. Your car provides secure on-board storage for fresh plantation coffee beans, black pepper, homemade chocolates, and herbal oils purchased from local estate stores.

Our fleet offers a variety of comfortable, air-conditioned vehicles operated by certified mountain chauffeurs:

• Comfortable Sedans (Dzire / Etios): Ideal for couples and small nuclear families of up to 4 passengers seeking smooth, fuel-efficient local cruising.
• Family MPVs (Maruti Ertiga): Providing generous legroom and comfortable seating for 5 to 6 passengers on winding hill roads.
• High-Torque SUVs (Toyota Innova Crysta): The benchmark for mountain touring, offering superior hill-climbing power, plush seating, high road clearance, and ample boot space for luggage.
