A working plantation plateau in the Anamalai hills, known for wildlife sightings right alongside the road.
Valparai is different from the other hill routes — it's a working tea and coffee plantation town rather than a resort destination, reached via 40 hairpin bends through the Anamalai Tiger Reserve. Wild elephants, lion-tailed macaques and Nilgiri langurs are regularly spotted from the roadside, so the ghat drive itself is a big part of why customers book this route. Being closer than Munnar or Kodaikanal, it also works well as a full-day trip. Book a Sedan, SUV or Innova with a transparent per-km fare shown live before you confirm.
