The route
From Pollachi the road runs about 24 km to Aliyar Dam. Monkey Falls is a few kilometres further, and then the ghat begins: 40 numbered hairpin bends climbing roughly 1,000 metres to the Valparai plateau. Loam's View Point near the 9th bend looks back over the Aliyar reservoir.
Driving the hairpin bends safely
- Uphill traffic has priority; our drivers use horn and low gears at blind bends.
- No stopping on the bends themselves — we pull over only at wider viewpoints.
- Nilgiri tahr and lion-tailed macaques may be on the road; we slow down and never feed them.
- Motion sickness? Sit in front, look at the horizon and take short breaks.
