Loam's View Point
A famous lookout at the 9th hairpin bend of the mountain road, overlooking Aliyar Reservoir and the plains beyond.
Loam’s View Point lies at about the 9th hairpin bend on the climb up the mountain. It is the most famous place to stop along the entire road. Below, the winding mountain road stretches out, and in the distance Aliyar Reservoir and the Pollachi plains come into view. On clear days, layers of mountain ridges are visible. Lion-tailed macaques and Nilgiri langurs are often seen here. Do not feed them, and keep valuables in your car. Admission is free, parking is limited, and the site gets crowded on holidays.
