Leave Pollachi around 8 AM (7 AM from Coimbatore) and start at Aliyar Dam while the light is soft: walk in the park, take a boat if boating is operating and the water level allows, and visit the Arivu Thirukoil meditation centre if you wish. Continue about 6 km to Monkey Falls, buy tickets at the forest-department counter, and bathe only in the designated pool when the staff allow it. Then climb the first stretch of hairpin bends to Loam's View Point near bend 9. On the day trip you return to Pollachi for a late lunch; on the 2D/1N option you continue up the ghat to Valparai for the night.
