Yercaud taluk, Administrative center in Salem district, India
Yercaud taluk encompasses 382 square kilometers of territory within the Servarayan Hills, situated at an elevation of 1,515 meters in Tamil Nadu.
The British administration established Yercaud as a colonial retreat in 1842, when Thomas Munro, Governor of Madras Presidency, recognized its potential.
The Servarayan Temple, positioned at 1,628 meters elevation, represents the spiritual center where local communities gather for traditional ceremonies throughout the year.
The administrative region maintains a network of roads connecting to Salem city, with regular bus services and private transportation options for residents.
Coffee plantations across the taluk produce beans with specific characteristics due to the soil composition and elevation of the Eastern Ghats.
