Kiliyur Falls
கிளியூர் நீர்வீழ்ச்சி
A waterfall about 3 km outside town, plunging about 90 meters down a rock face into a valley. A steep stone staircase leads down to the pool at its base.
Kiliyur Falls is fed by overflow from Yercaud Lake and drops about 90 meters through dense forest. From the roadside parking area to the base of the falls, it is roughly 300 steep stone steps and dirt paths, taking about 20–30 minutes one way. The climb back up is tiring. The falls are most impressive after the monsoon rains, while from March to May, during the dry season, the water flow is very low. You can wade in the pool, but the rocks underwater are slippery, and you should never venture near the strong currents. A small entrance fee applies. Bring non-slip shoes and water.
