Coimbatore: The picturesque region of Valparai in Coimbatore district is witnessing an increase in tourist visits, drawn by the ongoing rainfall and the resulting cool weather.



The enhanced flow in the rivers has particularly made the area more enticing for visitors seeking relief from the heat, creating a cooler, more pleasant environment.

Famous spots like the Koolangal River, Nallamudi Pooncholai, and Sholayar Dam are attracting crowds.
