Why Valparai is Ideal for Families
Unlike busier hill stations, Valparai offers a calm, unhurried pace of life that appeals to travellers of all ages. Children can run around in open spaces, grandparents can enjoy the gentle weather and scenic views, and parents can finally unplug from digital distractions. The region’s natural beauty — from rolling tea gardens to dense forest reserves — offers a chance for the whole family to reconnect with nature and one another. Valparai's natural heritage boasts rare and endemic creatures like the Lion-tailed Macaque and Nilgiri Tahr, alongside stunning birds like the Malabar trogon, guaranteeing a sense of mini-adventure with every outing.

Cosy Rooms in Valparai for a Family
At Ibex Stays & Trails, families are welcomed into spacious rooms thoughtfully designed for comfort and convenience. Whether travelling with kids or in a multigenerational group, the resort offers interconnected rooms, extra beds, and private balconies with views of the surrounding tea plantations or forests.

Kid-friendly Facilities
The resort’s outdoor garden and lawn provide a safe and open space for children to play freely. For little explorers, the safe walking trails around the property offer a great way to introduce them to the natural world — without needing to venture too far. Parents can relax while kids enjoy the open air, chase butterflies, or collect leaves under the watchful shade of tall trees.
Activities for the Whole Family
One of the joys of staying at a family-friendly resort like Ibex Stays & Trails is the variety of nature-based activities right at your doorstep. Guests can take guided plantation walks, go birdwatching, or spot wildlife near the Anamalai Tiger Reserve. Families can plan day trips to scenic locations like Nirar Dam, Sholayar Dam, and Loam’s View Point, all easily accessible from the resort. For something more adventurous, pack a picnic and head to Thalanaar Waterfalls or Monkey Falls, where children can play in shallow waters while adults enjoy the tranquil surroundings.
Dining Made for Families
Food is an essential part of a good vacation, and Ibex Stays & Trails understands that well. The resort serves family-friendly meals with a mix of South Indian specialities and multi-cuisine options. Meals are made using fresh, local ingredients and can be customised to suit dietary needs or preferences. Dining spaces are designed to be communal and inviting, whether you’re enjoying a meal in the open-air setting with views of the hills or in the cosy indoor dining area.
