Enchanted Forest & Light Experiences
November is when Yercaud slips into winter. Mornings turn crisp, mist hangs over the Shevaroy Hills, and the calendar gives families three great reasons to head up the ghat road.
Children's Day falls on a Saturday this year, making it the month to give the kids a day they'll talk about for weeks. At Skypark Yercaud, that means bouncing at Sky Bounce, meeting dwarf goats and exotic birds, walking through an underwater tunnel and ending the night under the lights of the Enchanted Night Park.
November 2026 in Yercaud: Key Dates
The biggest Skypark day this month is Saturday 14 November, Children's Day. Deepavali falls on Sunday 8 November, so it doesn't add a weekday holiday, but the festive weekend is still a popular time for short family trips.
Yercaud Weather in November: Cool, Misty & Green
November marks the start of Yercaud's winter season. Days are cool, roughly in the low 20s °C, nights get chilly, and the hills wake up wrapped in mist most mornings.
The northeast monsoon is still active, so expect passing showers on some days. They rarely last all day, and Skypark has plenty of indoor attractions to enjoy while they pass. It's also the start of Yercaud's coffee harvest season.
