Route and stops

The road runs south on the Coimbatore–Pollachi highway (NH 209/83 corridor) to Pollachi, then west to Aliyar at the foot of the Anamalai Hills. From here the ghat road climbs with 40 numbered hairpin bends to Valparai. Good stops: breakfast in Pollachi, Aliyar Dam, Monkey Falls and Loam's View Point.

Which trip type suits you

  • One-way drop: you have your own plans in Valparai; the cab returns to Coimbatore.
  • Round trip, same day: a long day trip — see the one day package.
  • Multi-day with driver: the driver stays with you for local sightseeing — usually the best value for 2+ days.

Timing tips

  • Leave Coimbatore by 7–8 AM to climb the ghat in good light.
  • Avoid starting the ghat after 5 PM — fog and wildlife make night driving slow.
  • On weekends, traffic builds at Aliyar and Monkey Falls from 10 AM.

Booked 5 days 4 nights tour package with family of 6 persons and 2 kids from Chennai.Family and enjoyed the beautiful sightseeings of valparai parambikulam athirapally falls.special mention they given a very good stay for 4 nights with breathtaking views and parambikulam stay arranged by Mahesh sir was highly appreciated.As Mahesh sir was a naturalist with him as a cab driver for our 5 days trip was very informative and we doesn't see a person with tons of knowledge in wildlife and local insights. We enjoyed many wildlife spottings elephant,leopard,sloth bear,wild dogs,great Indian guar,lion tailed macaque,giant squirrel, and many birds etc in this tour with help of Mahesh.He is very good guide and good friend I had got from valparai. Food provided in the package was very excellent and home made local stuff.Special mention on time food was delivered to room.Non veg was very tasty as we paid that belongs to our request. We enjoyed local cusines,bamboo rafting,tribal dance,tribal people visit, with help of Mahesh and stay given inside the forest was highly recommend by this travels.

Excellent service, customer service was their top notched.will share their contacts to all my family and friends.

TRIP WORTHY👍👍👍👍👍 Thank You so much Mahesh sir❤️ Its a 3 days 2 night trip covering valparai topslip and parambikulam with family of 4 people booked valparai mahesh travels. To start with pollachi junction till end of the trip valparai topslip and parambikulam the hospitality of the hotel assistants, cab Driver Mr.Rajagopal was very helpful and satisfactory.. we visited all the places safely, timely and also we were informed about the historical news of the places by the driver himself which was helpful to make the trip more memorable..valparai has become my most favourite trip especially because of the nature anf wildlife safari, tribal symphony, forest stay, trekking etc of arrangements made by Mr. Mahesh sir for our family. Wow breathtaking road curves and natural beauty!! Tour package was very cost economic and customized . Food prepared was homely and taste was very good as we are vegetarian of nominal cost. Thanks for the chef from mahesh travels for their food choices provided with great taste.stay was very excellent and clean, comfort for 2 nights with all aminities. Will definitely we and out neighbours will keep in touch for the next trip. Well organized and professional people in tourism.i will refer your number to relatives and friends.

Hii, It's been exactly a month from the trip , I am posting my reviews here. " The Fruit of a trip,is tasted by cherishment of its memories" Its that kind of the trip ,we went on Valparai last month. We planned out trip arrangements with VALPARAI MAHESH TRAVELS , based on there good reviews in website.But they never disappointed us at any situation. We went 3 day 2 night plan, to Pollachi,parambikulam, Valparai. They planned all the itenaries and kept us informed. Even though some unexpected delay on the day one of arrival, they managed the schedule and covered all the itenaries. The accommodation arrangements were smooth and well-executed.Its tidy ,safe and comfortable room. A Trip is more about ride ,from the start to end we are provided with a cab with smooth ride experience and the driver was well mannered and knew the route well. We planned this trip for our daughter's 2nd birthday, so we planned to cut cake at somewhere , but to "the cherry on the top", Magesh sir gave as a call and took us to an awesome scenic tea estate ,and arranged for a cake cutting celebration and made the moment time stand still. As per the quote I mentioned above, we are cherishing all this moment without any disappointment and inconvenience, was surely because of Magesh travel who ensured all arrangements were made with precision and care. Thank you Magesh travels for all your incredible support and efforts, it's something we will always cherish.
