Kailasanathar Temple

Reviewed By Mohan2013 - Chennai (Madras), India

Ancient temple of Lord Shiva in a small town Tharamangalam about 23 kms from Salem city. The shrine has beautiful and intricate sculptures on single-rock pillars and panels. The rotating circular structure lined with parrots in the roof near the main shrine is the star attraction besides the depiction of Rama with bow in one pillar and Vali and Sugriv confronting posture in another pillar reminds the famous battle scene in Ramayana. Thanks to the Temple administration for good upkeep of the temple.

32-km Loop Road

Reviewed By AdarshTraveldharma - Mumbai, India

One of the best drives we have been on.. We did not expect much from the small hill station but this beautiful route is just out of the world. The road intertwining through the Shevaroy Hills is lined on both sides with the Silver Oak and white Eucalyptus trees eclipsing the warm sun keep the breeze cool. The distinct view here is that these trees are covered with pepper climbers that make the ambience of these forests very surreal. As we drove around on the winding road, there were many spots where we just could not stop ourselves from taking a break and engulf in the serene environment. The road runs through large coffee plantations making the entire region embrace a lush dark green demeanor unike light green tea plantations.

Siddhar Temple

Reviewed By venkat-Chenai - Chennai (Madras), India

Kanja Malai Siddhar Temple is present in a tranquil place with surrounding hillocks and marvelous greenery. If one is religiously attuned and admirer of our Great 18 Siddhas, Kanja Malai is a must go. Here Siddhar Kalanginathar guru of Boga Sitthar worshipped. One could feel Divine presence of Siddhar Swami upon meditating here. On top of a small Hillock which is accessible by both walk and by road, Lord Muruga (Karthikeya) is present. Very sacred place. When you visit Salem and have 3/4 hours at your hand, this place is a must go

This is a very famous temple. Thi maasam and Adi maasam is celebrated in a grand manner. All the priests are very kind and it has a huge ground where all the town people join together and keep Pongal with relatives and family.

Poppy Hills

Adventure Park ( POPPY HILLS )now in the heart of Yercaud providing entertainment for adults and kids..

Reviewed By shrithann

The place was amazing and provided rides and adventurous activities for both kids and adults as well. Kids could do activities such as the bunjee trampoline, water zorbing and zipline, whereas adults were given the options to enjoy more thrilling activities such as bunjee ejection. The rope courses here are very unique with 2 levels and both change in difficulty levels and each rope course offers 8 different challenges to be completed. Rope courses had guides who were very patient and helped visitors complete the 8 challenges in each rope course.. overall it was an amazing experience.

Yercaud

Reviewed By vasanthkumarr - Salem, India

Wonderful hill station near Salem. Lots of places to visit and good for photography too. The Boat house is the best. Also try the street style Roasted Corns. Go to Pagoda point, ladies seat, sterling resort. Also enjoy the view from Hairpin bends. This is a wonderful place where flower show is conducted every year
