We need to hire a bus which costs around Rs. 35/- per head and the bus authorities will start their service only when they got 25 people for the forest ride. 

You need to be quick in booking the bus service and better reach Topslip early morning for the ride as you can see the animals on the road during that time. You can also book the elephant ride but should book earlier in the day for not missing this wonderful ride.

Aliyar Dam Pollachi

Aliyar Dam is around 24 km distance from Pollachi. The dam is beautiful and must visit places near Coimbatore. You can take one bus from Coimbatore or Palani and can reach here. This is on the way from Pollachi to Valparai.

Monkey falls in Pollachi

We visited this place on Jan 1st 2011, I think this is the best water falls I have ever seen. It is one of the tourist attraction 24km from Pollachi. Pollachi is around 45km from Coimbatore. We find many monkeys around the falls and I think the place is named due to it.

Being the new year day, many people visited here and the place is very busy. The falls are just after Aliyar dam while driving from Pollachi.

Spent around 3 hours and we don't know how the time has passed. we got chance to be under the fall for longer time.

Must visit place.

Stayed in Shakhi Hotel in Pollachi that night. Hotel is good and economical. Visit http://sakthihotels.com/ for more information.

Two beds room is Rs.660/- and 110/- for extra bed along with complementary breakfast.
