点评:Valparai is a hill station near Coimbatore and it is about 85 kms away. The road is narrow and hilly tracks and so it takes about 3 hours plus to reach by car. It has 40 hairpin bends en route. You can see some breath taking scenes while travelling, especially the tea estates.
Having reached Valparai, you will see only lot of "Home stay" for your accommodation. I could not see a decent hotel or a fine dining restaurant. One has to manage with local food and fast-food outlets. For a tourist location, very poor maintenance of roads, food outlets, hygiene, etc.. You will get an average type of accommodation.
As regard to sight seeing there are a few dam sites and tea estates. Nothing much.
People are friendly and helpful.
On the whole it is not maintained as an important tourist location. Needs a lot of improvement.
翻译:瓦尔帕莱是一座位于哥印拜陀附近的山区度假胜地,距离约85公里。道路狭窄且多蜿蜒起伏的坡道,因此驾车前往需要3个多小时。沿途有40个急转弯。旅途中可以欣赏到许多令人叹为观止的景色,尤其是大片的茶园。
抵达瓦尔帕莱后,你会发现这里到处都是供人住宿的“家庭旅馆”。我没能找到一家像样的酒店或高档餐厅。游客只能将就着享用当地食物或快餐了。作为一个旅游胜地,这里的道路、餐饮场所及卫生状况都维护得很差。住宿条件也一般。
在观光方面,只有几处大坝和茶园可看,没什么可欣赏的。
当地人友善且乐于助人。
总体来看,这里并未被当作重要的旅游地来经营,亟需大幅改善。
