About this Place

Kiliyur Falls is a breathtaking natural wonder located in the Servaroyan hill range of the Eastern Ghats, near the popular hill station of Yercaud in Tamil Nadu. The falls are formed when the surplus water from the Yercaud Lake cascades down a 300-foot drop into the Kiliyur Valley. Surrounded by dense forests and verdant landscapes, the falls offer a spectacular sight, especially during and immediately after the monsoon season when the water flow is at its peak.

Visitors can trek through scenic trails to reach the base of the falls, where the cool mist and the roaring sound of the water create a refreshing and invigorating experience. The area around the falls is a haven for nature lovers and photographers, providing ample opportunities to capture the pristine beauty of the Western Ghats. It's an ideal spot for a peaceful retreat, a family picnic, or an adventurous trek.
