About the trip

Coimbatore is western Tamil Nadu's industrial and textile hub, and the gateway to the Nilgiris and Kerala. Many travellers from Salem go for business or the airport, while others visit the Isha Yoga Centre with its Adiyogi statue, the Marudhamalai Murugan hill temple and the Perur Patteeswarar Temple. The four-lane highway via Sankagiri and Perundurai is one of the smoothest in the state.
