Aliyar Dam, Pollachi, Tamil Nadu.

Aliyar Dam, Pollachi, Tamil Nadu.
Aliyar Reservoir is just 20 km from Pollachi in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu and the Aliyar Dam stands tall and proud at the foot of Valparai.

Aliyar Dam receives water from Upper Aliyar Reservoir of Valparai through the hydroelectric power station in Navamali and the Parambikulam reservoir through a contour canal. Aliyar dam, built as a part of Parambikulam aliyar project (PAP), retains a large reservoir. The dam is around 2 kilometers in length.

Aliyar Dam’s scenic environs are what makes it so popular. Surrounded by mountains capped with mist and verdant slopes with the glistening silent reservoir, it makes for an ideal place to forget the hurly burly of city life.
