Pagoda Point, Yercaud, Tamil Nadu India

Pagoda Point is yet another vantage point; once replete with pagodas built out of stone, it is now home to a large temple.

Pagoda Point is also another view point, which is worth visiting. Pagoda point or pyramid point is a viewpoint located on the eastern part of Yercaud hills. This has four piles of stones arranged so as to form a pyramid shape. It is said to be built by the local tribes and now there is a Rama temple located between the piles of stones. The place got its name because of its pagodas that are built with stone. The best visiting time here is early mornings or evenings, when the mellow sunlight refreshes the mind and soul.

Tourists come here at the point to have a view of the beautiful cliffs around, especially in early mornings or evenings. One can get a thorough view of the town of Salem and a little village called Kakambadi from this hill. The spot also has towering cliffs that would prove to be any rock climber's delight.

Around the ridges of the crest are four cairns stones resembling temple towers (Pagodas). In the centre of the open space is a shrine dedicated to two anionic stones held sacred by the local Malayalis.
