Perched on a cliff and gazing over a picturesque valley lies the Heaven's Ledge Campsite in Yercaud. Just 15 kilometres from the famed 'Big Lake' of Yercaud, this site is embraced by sprawling coffee plantations, part of the Gowri Estate—an eco-tourism hub and coffee plantation. Here, the campsite is designed to cater to the trend of luxury camping, famously known as "glamping."

"Glamping" is a fusion of "glamorous" and "camping," offering a camping experience enriched with amenities and, in some instances, resort-style services that diverge from the typical notions of traditional camping. This contemporary style of camping has gained popularity among 21st-century travellers seeking modern comforts like Wi-Fi while still relishing the escapism and adventure associated with camping. The accommodations in glamping can vary, ranging from cabins and treehouses to tents.

Enjoy nature in luxury

For guests seeking a luxury camping experience, the Heven’s Ledge offers both cottages and luxury tents, situated in the coffee plantation.

Your action-packed weekend here will feature three hearty meals, trekking to the estate's highest peaks, traversing rugged terrain on a cycling adventure, discovering exotic wildlife, fishing, trekking through the Coffee Plantation, visiting Heaven’s Ledge, a west-facing scenic viewpoint, cycling and unwinding by a warm bonfire. You'll wake up to a breathtaking view that will make you truly feel as if you're perched on Heaven's very own precipice.

All the packages at the camping site are all-inclusive, including stay, meals, morning and evening beverage along with a snack. The activities are all complimentary and guests s can use them free of charge. Food is predominantly South Indian. The site is planning to take the glamour to another level,  adding a pool and spa services in the future.

Each season offers a different experience to the visitors. For those who love the Monsoon, the ideal time is mid-September to December. Between June and September, guests can enjoy the greenery.

Reservations for the site are handled online and it is suggested for the guests is to book as early as possible. Those who want to enjoy the peace and quiet should book for the weekdays.
