    A vast water body in the foothills of Valparai. Situated between mountains, this place looks extravagant and large. There is a long road on the banks of this place, you can have a long walk if you are fit enough. When you visit this place, you can remember seeing the place in many tamil movies. They have a small park and play srea for kids. The surrounding area is full of trees and lots of eateries serving fish dishes. From the base area to the top, there are steep steps which would feel little hard for older people. But the view on top is great and worth the climb. If lighting is good, this place can be a good place for photography. Also, the surrounding mountains creates a good scenery. When you climb up towards Valparai, you can have a gold glimpse of the full dam area. From hairpin bend 7 to 15. Be cautious if you are driving though. One thing to note is that the staff in ticket counter would try to con you. They will chsrge 20rs for 1 mobile phone but will not give the ticket. Please ensure that you ask and get it.

    Good view of Valparai hills from the dam. Can experience a scenic view from top. Park is available for children with average maintenance. Other than small river flows across the park. One of the most important movie shooting spots in Pollachi area. Hotels and tea shops are available outside the park. Parking is sufficient. Entry and parking charges are bit high. Can go for relaxed evening and morning.

    Great outdoor experience! Kids Garden and Monkey Falls are very good. Fish Fry shops are good and yummy taste! Cleanliness and smell are drawbacks on these areas. We could not found any good Resorts or Home stay nearby . What ever found are below average and not suitable for Kerala Family.

    One of the beautiful dam in the Tamil Nadu. The view of dam from ghat roads are mind blowing. But the dam is not properly maintained. The people there are not fully cooperative. They charges more than 5 for using toilet. August to January is the best time for visiting the dam.

    Very nice place to visit, huge dam near valaparai. Entry fees is Rs. 5 per person plus Rs 20 for camera even if it is mobile also. It consists of huge park with children playing amenities such as swing, see saw, sliding board etc. To visit the dam and view it you have to climb stairs. There is long corridor to work around and take pictures. Currently they have other playing options such as toy train for a fare of Rs. 30 or 40. Parking is not available we have to park outside on the main road and fees of Rs. 20 will be collected as parking charges. On the whole a nice place for kids and family as a part of outing.

    Aliyar Dam is a superb place of tourism. The dam is situated at a distance of just 20 Kms from Pollachi.The dam is located in the foothills of Valparai, in the Anaimalai Hills of the Western Ghats. The height of the dam is 81 m. There is a well-maintained park built at bottom of the Dam along with an aquarium, a mini Themed - Park and play area maintained by Tamil Nadu Fisheries Corporation. The view of the Anamalai range around the reservoir is a feast for the eyes and the view of the coconut groves from the top of the dam is amazing. One can also go for boating in the waters of the dam. The dam can be visited while going to Valparai from Pollachi or one shall visit the place after visiting Monkey Falls while coming from Valparai. Timings: 8 AM - 6 PM

    Aliyar is one of the tourist spot near Coimbatore. park is available before entering into the Valparai check post. Best place for friends and families. Good road connectivity is there from kovai and pollachi.Must visit if you visit kovai.Near the dam, flim shooting. Best place for relaxation and walking. Ticket is around ₹15 i guess. I went 2 months back.

    Good,there’s a small children’s park.we can go to the top of dam. Ticket price is only 5 rs. There is no better parking place you want to park in road side. There’s so many small restaurants which serves fresh dam fish fry which is famous but i don’t think it is neat and clean because it is hanged on the outside without any cover from dust and etc from the road.

    Visited the reservoir last week. ★ Entry charge Rs.5/- plus Rs. 10/- for mobile phone. ★ Surrounded by lot of small roadside food shops. ★ The spot includes a garden, and play area for kids. ★ This is a good spot to spent time with kids,friends and family. ★ The dam area offers a great view to the bottom garden and the water other side.

    Aliyar Dam is a charming location surrounded by Annamali Hills with wonderful natural views. It is located between Pollachi and Valparai.At a distance of 64 Kms from Coimbatore, 24 Kms from Pollachi & 545 Kms from Chennai. Built across Aliyar River between 1959 and 1969, the primary purpose of the dam is to support irrigation for Pollachi and near by places for Agriculture purpose. The height of the dam is 81 meters. There is a well maintained park built at bottom of the Dam. The view of the Anamalai range around the reservoir is a feast for the eyes and the view of the coconut groves from top of the dam is amazing. Boating is available here. It is well to connected by frequent buses from Pollachi. Most of the people visiting Valparai make a trip Aliyar Dam too.

    Very good place for a break from city life. If you are looking for a family outing with budget this is a place for you. Surely with Dam and park you could spend like 3 to 4 hours with kids. There are some minimal rides for kids.

    The climate is very chill during winter, found crowded after a longtime as we have visited the place during diwali time. The entry fee is Rs.5 for each person. A good spot to refresh yourself.

    Nothing seemed to be improved or developed. Same old broken benches and dry garden area. It's sad to see no improvement to a place where hundreds of people visit every day.
