Summary
Burliar or Varaliyaru (வறளியாறு) is a Panchayat village in Coonoor Taluk of The Nilgiris District, Tamil Nadu, India.
It is situated on National Highway NH 67 between Mettupalayam(Coimbatore) and Coonoor on the Coonoor Ghat Road at an altitude of 800 to 830 metres above mean sea level. It is on the border between the Coimbatore District and The Nilgiris District.
Burliar is best known as a rest stop on this Ghat Road. Most people are employed in the running of small shops and restaurants that cater to the needs of travelers. When the road has been closed (for example due to landslides), many of the villagers have left to seek other employment elsewhere.

This station is situated on the Mettupalayam – Coonoor ghat road near the old toll bar. The main area is made up of 68 terraces and planted with spices crops like clove, nutmeg, cinnamon, pepper, and vanilla and fruits like mangosteen, jack, durain, litchi, longsal, carambola, grape fruits, rose apple and mango.
