Overview

Coimbatore is Tamil Nadu's industrial and education hub, often called the Manchester of South India for its textile industry. The Perur and Marudhamalai temples are well known locally, drawing steady numbers of devotees. For a cooler escape, the winding hill roads toward Ooty and Kotagiri are within easy reach, and the city's airport makes it a convenient gateway to southern Tamil Nadu.
