Why Choose a Tempo Traveller?
1. Comfort for the Whole Group Whether you are a group of 10 or 15, a Tempo Traveller offers spacious, push-back seating, ample legroom, and enough space to store your luggage without feeling cramped. Unlike multiple cars, staying together keeps the travel spirit high!
2. Expert Chauffeurs for Ghat Roads The road from Valparai to Athirapally (the Pollachi-Chalakkudy route) is famous for its 40 hairpin bends and dense forest patches. These roads require an experienced driver who knows how to navigate sharp turns safely. Professional rental services provide drivers who are well-versed with these specific terrains, ensuring your safety throughout the drive.
3. Cost-Effective Convenience When you split the rental cost, fuel charges, and parking fees among a larger group, a Tempo Traveller often works out cheaper than hiring multiple cabs. Plus, you save on the hassle of coordinating between different vehicles.
4. Sightseeing at Your Own Pace The drive from Valparai to Athirapally is one of the most scenic routes in India. Having your own rented vehicle means you can stop whenever you spot a wild elephant, a tea garden, or a beautiful viewpoint, without being rushed by public transport schedules.
The Ultimate Itinerary Highlights
When you hire a Tempo Traveller from Chennai, you can structure your trip for maximum enjoyment:
- Chennai to Valparai: Start early from Chennai to reach the lush tea estates of Valparai. Enjoy the cool climate, stay in a colonial bungalow, and wake up to the sound of Malabar whistling thrushes.
- The Forest Drive (Valparai to Athirapally): This is the highlight. You will cross the Vazhachal forest ranges. Note: Ensure your Tempo Traveller has the necessary permits for interstate travel if required, as this route crosses into Kerala.
- Athirapally Waterfalls: Experience the “Niagara of India.” Standing at the base of these massive falls is a life-changing experience.
- Return Journey: You can circle back via Chalakkudy and Coimbatore or return to Chennai via the Salem highway.
