    How to reach Coimbatore

    Coimbatore, “The Manchester of South India”, is a popular tourist destination easily reached by various modes of travel.

    The district is connected via five major national highways. Coimbatore also has two railway stations inside the city centre and eight more stations within the district. Complete with its own international airport, Coimbatore is well-connected to the country and the world. Situated on the banks of the River Noyyal, the charming city of Coimbatore welcomes you to explore its ancient temples, monuments, waterfalls, and forests. Read this guide on how to reach Coimbatore and all your questions will be answered.

    The district is served by Coimbatore International Airport (CJB), located in Peelamedu, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. The airport offers domestic flights to major Indian cities, such as Chennai, New Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and Mumbai. It also connects internationally to countries like the UAE, Sri Lanka, and Singapore. The airport is located 11 km from Coimbatore city centre, and you can take a taxi or book a cab.

    Coimbatore Junction is well connected to the railway network. Construction of railway lines in Coimbatore first started in the late 1800s under colonial rule. You can access Coimbatore via rail from most major Indian cities. Coimbatore North, Podanur, and Mettupalayam are other important train stations within the district. A train journey is always more comfortable than a road trip; therefore, you should book your tickets well in time to ensure no unnecessary hassles.

    Five major national highways pass through Coimbatore: NH 544 (Salem–Kochi Highway), NH 81 (Trichy Road), NH 181 (Mettupalayam Road), NH 948 (Sathy Road), and NH 83 (Pollachi Road). Thus, Coimbatore is incredibly well-connected to all major towns in Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, Puducherry, and Andhra Pradesh. The State Road Transport Corporation of Tamil Nadu and Kerala manages buses between Coimbatore and various cities in the region.

      Vikrant's 7 days trip to Coimbatore

      I recently booked a holiday package through Travel Triangle, and here's my experience: *Hotel:* We stayed at the Khan Gufa Hotel in Bandipur, which was generally good, but there were a few issues. The hotel provided false information about the safari, which was disappointing. Also hotel rooms are not suitable to stay. *Cab & Driver:* The cab driver sent by Lee Vacations was a 20-year-old boy who was good-natured but lacked driving skills and knowledge about the locations. Moreover, the cab agency seemed greedy, which was a bit of a concern. *Service of Travel Agent:* Despite the issues, the travel agent was very nice and decent. He was always available to address our queries and managed our trip effectively, even when he had to rely on another agent due to his limited knowledge of the locations. Overall, while there were some hiccups, the agent's service and efforts to resolve issues were commendable. With a bit more attention to detail and better coordination with suppliers, Travel Triangle could provide an even better experience for its clients. *Recommendation:* While I would recommend Travel Triangle for its agent's service, I would suggest they work on improving their supplier partnerships and quality control to ensure a smoother experience for clients.

      After booking travel agent not contacted. Cab driver didn’t confirm when he is coming. So one whole day was gone by travel. Hotel is good but not hygienic. Not suitable for child with care of hygienic. Black thunder trip was good.

      Jay's 3 days trip to Coimbatore

      Hotel Breakfast was not good. No proper Management and seems lack of Man power. Network Issue in the room. Coonoor was not covered and Iternary should have been shared to Driver. It seems there was no proper communication provided to the Driver regarding hotel and Iternary. Overall it was okay.

      Peenaz's 6 days trip to Coimbatore

      Hotels - Raisana was near and clean. Roopa hotel was well managed but it wasn't well managed but the food at their restaurant had a lot of soda in their fitters. We informed this there too. For the third stay we expected a deluxe stay and because of some miscommunication we ended in a lodge type place though an alternative was given to us but our mood was spoilt since we were expecting better for the price. We were kept in some lodging residency type of thing. Cab and driver - the drivers skills were good and he was experiencing but the car was old and broken. Firstly he outright refused to take us to all the places mentioned in the itinerary. The car's front seat was broken, back seat was coming out. The car needs maintenance. Service - I felt outsmarted by the travel agent twice and the mistake is mine that I trusted blindly. These two bad instances made me have a bad opinion. For the price I paid my stays except for the first one were pathetic
