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.



Tourists, while unable to swim or bathe in the rivers due to current restrictions, are taking pleasure in taking selfies and soaking in the natural beauty from safe spots near these waterbodies.



As families arrive in groups, they stay near the tourism sites, capturing photos and enjoying the vicinity without disrupting the serene setting. Additionally, the increase in visitors has led to some traffic congestion in the urban areas of Valparai.
