Valparai & Athirapally falls

From chennai, we took Jayem Travels to reach coimbatore., we were trying tickets in KPN/ABT/Parveen, but there was heavy rush, as it was 3 days holidays. Jayem travels one of worst bus-(A/C Hi Tech) i have travelled in my life, its neither had A/C nor HiTech. The bus had to start by 10.30, but started at 12 and our bad-luck it was struck in traffic jam for anthore 2 hours near bangalore-highway. we reached coimbatore at 12 afternoon and reached valparai at evening, via pollachi. I would suggest make sure, you reach coimbatore before 7 am and reach valparai by 12, so that you do the sight- seeing on the same day. There 6-7 places to be seen in valparai. Accomidation are avilable in plenty, maybe in season time, it would difficult, but many people have converted their own homes as places to stay for visitors. we stayed in "GreenHouse" the owner was really nice guy, 100% reliable. In Valpari, you can stay there for 2/3 days maximum, and then you can leave to Athirpally falls, (Falls from which Kamal Hassan & Rekha jump in film punaigai mannan) route from valparai to athirpally falls, is on complete dense forest and travelling in night with women would be not advisable. There are 1/2 resorts costing around Rs 2,400 for double-room a/c, along banks of the river, excellent location. More than Valparai, we all enjoyed this falls, it was excellent watching it from down. Incase of any doubts, please mail, i shall give further details
