Day-by-day itinerary

Customise this plan
  1. Aliyar Dam and reservoir at the foot of the Anamalai HillsDay 1

    Day 1

    An easy climb: Aliyar park, Monkey Falls, Loam's View Point

    • 64 km from Pollachi in short stages
    • Valparai (family suite)
    • Early dinner

    A late-morning pickup so nobody starts the day tired. Kids enjoy the Aliyar park and the reservoir views; Monkey Falls is fun when open, but we only let children into the water where it is calm and shallow. The climb is split into short stages with plenty of pull-outs. Check in, rest, and an early dinner.

  2. Koolangal river flowing through tea estates in ValparaiDay 2

    Day 2

    River, temple, tea and gentle viewpoints

    • About 50 km local, no long stretches
    • Valparai
    • Breakfast, early dinner

    Koolangal river is shallow and pebbly in most seasons — perfect for paddling with an adult alongside. Then Sri Balaji Temple's gardens, a tea estate walk where kids can see how tea is plucked, and Sholayar Dam if everyone is up for a short drive. Afternoons stay free for naps.

  3. Ghat road with warning signs through Valparai tea estatesDay 3

    Day 3

    Sunrise (optional), shopping and descent

    • Descent to Pollachi · 2 h
    • Drop at pickup point
    • Breakfast

    Early risers can catch Nallamudi Poonjolai at sunrise while the rest sleep in. After breakfast, pick up estate tea and snacks in town and head down with breaks at the viewpoints.

I recently used Valparai Mahesh travels for my vacation of 4 Days 3 Night Pollachi Topslip Parambikulam Valparai Tour Package with family of 5 Adults and 3 kids and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!

Mahesh kumar took the time to understand my preferences and designed a customized itinerary that perfectly matched my interests and budget. Every detail, from my arrival to accommodations and activities, was meticulously planned. They even included thoughtful touches, like restaurant recommendations and insider tips, which made the trip even more special. Good Driving skills and our driver Mr.Rajagopal shows all the places and shared valuable information of all insights.Every he stops to show the beautiful landscape of the nature. our trip dusted with trekking,forest stay,good food,planned,exploration ,tribal people visit,bird watching,bamboo rafting and excellent hospitality provided for our family bcoz of Mr.Mahesh kumar the owner of this company.Very interesting person with calm and smiling face to carry with more knowledge of this western ghats ecosystem.And also most important he is an local naturalist for tourists to support and spread information of this anaimalai hills and parambikulam.Asusual very kind person Mr.Mahesh kumar and all his team members are well equipped to serve people.

It felt like I had a trusted travel expert by my side throughout the journey. The trip itself was flawless—everything went exactly as planned. The accommodations were excellent, the tours were well-organized, and the experiences they recommended were unforgettable. I was able to relax and fully enjoy my vacation, knowing all the logistics were taken care of. I highly recommend Mahesh Tours and Travels valparai !

FAQ

Questions, answered

Can't find yours? Ask us on WhatsApp — a real person replies.

Is Valparai good for a family trip with small kids?

Yes. It is quiet, green and safe, with short sightseeing hops once you are on the plateau. The only challenge is the 40 hairpin bends, which we break into short stages. See our travel with children guide.

Do you have family rooms for 6 people?

Yes — a 6-bed family dorm room and deluxe family suites with a balcony. See the rooms in our stays section.

Can grandparents manage the sightseeing?

Most viewpoints are next to the road. Nallamudi involves a short walk on an estate path and Chinnakallar has uneven steps, which we can skip. Read travel with senior citizens.

Which vehicle is best for a family of 6?

An Innova or Innova Crysta for 6 with luggage; a Tempo Traveller for 8 or more. Sedans are fine for up to 4.
