Introducing Coimbatore
Although a large business and industrial city, Coimbatore is mainly a transport junction for travellers – a convenient stop if you’re heading to the hill stations of Ooty or Kodaikanal. Sometimes known as the Manchester of India for its textile industry, Coimbatore is an easy-going place with plenty of accommodation and eating options.
