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.
