The exquisitely finished fireplace in the front room of the Waterfall Ropeway Bungalow, Valparai.

This charming bungalow is over 125 years old, and oozes with class and character.  Set amidst verdant greenery of a tea garden, the peace and tranquility is all what one would expect from such a paradise.  Well furnished and equipped with all modern amenities, this bungalow pampers each visitor and entices them to stay forever. 

Waterfall Bungalow, aptly named, has a number of waterfalls, some big, some small, but each one more beautiful than the last.  The area surrounding the tea gardens have regular visits from wildlife in the form of elephants, bisons, wild boars and deer – truly, a nature lover’s delight.  Combine this with the wonderful view of Palani and Pollachi far away down in the plains, the twinkling lights reminiscent of stars at night. 

Trekking is a very popular activity during the day, as also, fishing in the various streams that are abundant on the property.  On request, night safaris can also be organized for closer encounters with the wildlife.

The in-house chef’s delight is to create such culinary extravaganzas that would please his resident guests no end.

Waterfall is situated in the Valparai region of the western hill range in South India, easily accessible from Coimbatore, via Pollachi, or from Cochin by road.

GlendaleStays recommends this premium bedroom. With exquisitely selected period furniture, and a large fireplace(not in picture here), this would be the perfect place to snuggle into, in the cool evenings we find in these hills. Eco-tours and eco-trails aside, why should you ever want to not be spoilt, while you are at it?

Dining room, where you can dig into our chef's creations. May we recommend his desserts.

An ultra-modern bathroom lets you soak it all away, after your day of fishing or hiking in the hills. Like we said, there is no need to slum it, just because you decided that it is nature that you want to be close to. Do get in touch with us, for a memorable holiday. Whether its eco-tourism, hiking, trekking, fishing or just plain relaxing.

Did we tell you about the wonderful views around the gardens the things that we get to see? All of which is of course accessible to you as a guest. We encourage you to visit us for bird and wildlife photography. After all, where else can you imagine stepping out of your room in the morning, right into the middle of a blooming, thriving eco system?
