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.

      Vinzeeus's 2 days trip to Coimbatore

      I am not satisfied with service provided , while booking agent told he will provide hindi speaking driver also he said full day driver will be with you and wherever you want to take you can take him in stipulated time but , in actual that driver refused to go any far place which takes 30min only, driver said he will charge extra if he goes 30 min far from city , also he was not able to speak hindi or English properly. Also after booking driver details given very late to me , I only called to booking agent for driver number Kodaikanal stay was beautiful, sky view villa is best to stay
