Quick answer

Valparai taxi fares are billed in two ways: outstation trips (Coimbatore, Pollachi, Kochi and beyond) per kilometre with a daily minimum of about 250 km plus driver bata, and local Valparai sightseeing as a fixed day package. Tolls, parking and Kerala permits are either included or charged at actuals. Your exact fare is confirmed in writing before you book.

How outstation fares are calculated

For trips that leave Valparai or start in another city — Coimbatore, Pollachi, Tiruppur, Kochi — the fare is usually the kilometres driven (with a minimum per day) multiplied by the per-km rate for your vehicle, plus driver bata for each day.

Example of the method: a 2-day Coimbatore–Valparai–Coimbatore trip is billed at the higher of actual km or 2 × 250 km, plus 2 days of driver bata, plus tolls and parking.

How local Valparai fares work

Sightseeing around Valparai is priced as a half-day (4–5 hours) or full-day (8–9 hours, about 80–90 km) package. Extra hours are charged per hour.

What changes the price

  • Vehicle type — sedans cost least, premium SUVs and vans more.
  • Season — December holidays, Pongal, April–May and long weekends are busier.
  • One-way trips — the cab's empty return may be charged on one-way drops.
  • Kerala crossings — inter-state permit for trips via Athirappilly or Munnar.

Outstation trips are usually billed per km with a minimum of about 250 km per day, plus driver bata per day.

Local Valparai sightseeing is billed as a fixed day package (about 8 hours / 80 km) rather than per km.

Tolls, parking, inter-state permits (for Kerala) and hill charges are either included in a package price or added at actuals — your quote says which.

Night driving on the ghat and forest roads is avoided for safety; overnight driver stay is arranged in packages.

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. We covered all places and tour was very customer friendly.Punctual on time pick up drop feels we are very safe.As with family Mahesh sir driving skills was out of box in hills journey, Vehicle given by them was Innova very clean and excellent maintenance with service records feels very safe to drive for 5 days. Excellent service, customer service was their top notched.will share their contacts to all my family and friends.

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.

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.
