Liril Falls

Liril Falls, also known as Pambar Falls, is a cascade waterfall located about 3 km from Kodaikanal town in Dindigul district, Tamil Nadu. Situated on the Pambar River along the Kodaikanal-Munnar road, it gained fame after featuring in the 1985 Liril soap advertisement. Surrounded by forested slopes and rocky terrain, the falls is notable for its seasonal flow, scenic setting and easy accessibility from the town centre.

Visitors can expect a small cascade waterfall flowing over rocky steps surrounded by forested hills near Pambar Bridge. Access involves a short walk and descent via steps to a viewpoint and pool area at the base. The setting is natural and relatively undeveloped, with views of the valley and opportunity for photography and sightseeing. Water flow is seasonal and most impressive post-monsoon.

Known locally as Pambar Falls, it holds cultural recognition due to its association with Indian advertising history and remains a popular scenic spot for visitors to Kodaikanal.
