Located in the Servarayan mountain range, the Kiliyur Falls is a massive waterfall surrounded by mesmerizing scenery that will leave visitors spellbound. The waterfall is accessible either by trekking through the forest or taking a hired jeep to the falls entry point. You can enjoy the falls from a safe distance or take a swim in the natural pool below the waterfall. The water flow peaks during the monsoon season, so be careful during early summer.
If you have additional time, be sure to visit Lady's Seat, a famous viewpoint overlooking the cityscape of Salem and Yercaud lake. Travelers can also enjoy boating across the lake or take a stroll through tranquil botanical gardens. For an adrenaline rush, head to the Shevaroy hills for ziplining or trekking through dense jungle. If you have less time, consider skipping the botanical gardens and enjoying nature walks and shorter hikes. Also, make sure to wear comfortable clothes and shoes, and carry sunscreen, a hat, and water bottles to keep yourself hydrated.
