Detail InformationEdit
Valley View, Since the valley is deep, children visiting this valley have to be accompanied by their parents. Silent Valley View is located a little away from the Berijam Lake Road where the Pillar Rock is located. The view from here is gorgeous. You can see the extensive green valley below, shrouded by clouds and a perpetual fog, which lend it a woolly appearance. This is something the viewpoint is known for. It is a very relaxing experience and a delightful place for photographers, filmmakers and artists for its picturesque beauty. The viewpoint also leads you to the edge of the cliff. One can spot the narrow ravines below from here. It is however important to carry proper footwear as the place is phenomenally damp owing to the regular spells of rain, lest one could risk slipping from here. The best time to make a visit to this valley is during early morning and late afternoon.
