Quick answer

Lower Neerar Dam is a reservoir on the Valparai plateau, part of the Parambikulam–Aliyar water project, set among forest and estates. It is quieter than Sholayar, with calm water views, but access roads and viewing spots are controlled and may be closed on some days. Allow 30 minutes and check access before you go.

Tips

  • Ask us the evening before whether access is open.
  • Early morning mist makes for lovely photos.
