Sunset at Valparai. A view that can't be missed!

Valparai is a Taluk and hill station in the Coimbatore district of Tamil Nadu, India. It is located 3,500 feet (1,100 m) above sea level on the Anaimalai Hills range of the Western Ghats, at a distance of 100 kilometres (62 mi) from Coimbatore and 65 kilometres (40 mi) from Pollachi. There are 40 hairpin bends on the way up to Valparai from Azhiyar. While major portions of the land are owned by private tea companies, large forest areas continue to be out of bounds. As of 2011, the town had a population of 70,859.

About this view. It is difficult to sight such a view apart for the local residents. Travellers and tourists are not allowed beyond 5 PM around this area as leapards, tigers, elephants or bisons roam around freely which is dangerous to the tourists. We sighted the same as we stayed near to this view. Even the sunrise from cottages are beautiful. Will post the same in my next post.
