Begin your family vacation in Valparai with a visit to Aliyar Dam. Enjoy the scenic drive through the Anamalai Hills and take in the lush greenery and beautiful waterfalls along the way. At the dam, you can take a boat ride or enjoy a picnic by the tranquil waters.
Spend your second day at the Indira Gandhi Wildlife Sanctuary which is home to a wide variety of animals, including tigers, elephants, and leopards. Take a guided tour and spot some rare bird species and butterflies as well. The sanctuary has several hiking trails to explore and is a great place to learn about the region's ecology and conservation efforts.
If you have more time, you can visit the nearby Monkey Falls or the Valparai viewpoint. If you have less time, you can skip the boat ride at the Aliyar Dam and focus on the picnic.
