    Share on

Discover seven lesser-known escapes just a drive from Coimbatore that locals cherish but rarely share.

  1. Pollachi & Vettaikaranpudur – Surrounded by coconut groves and the Anamalai foothills, this charming village earned the “Best Tourism Village” award, perfect for farm stays, cultural festivals, and gateway access to Aliyar Dam and Topslip wildlife safaris.

  2. Kotagiri & Coonoor – Both nestled in the Nilgiris, these hill stations offer lush tea estates, misty trekking trails like the Longwood Shola, and colonial charm via heritage trains and viewpoints like Dolphin’s Nose.

  3. Topslip – A biodiversity hotspot in the Anamalai Tiger Reserve, ideal for wildlife sightings—elephants, birds, and occasional tigers—plus guided eco‑treks and jeep safaris.

  4. Ramanamudalipudur – Nature’s haven by Coimbatore, known for its dense forests, wildlife (tigers, elephants, hornbills), and ancient Jain cave inscriptions blending spirituality with adventure.

  5. Puliancholai – Hidden in the Eastern Ghats foothills, this quiet hamlet offers refreshing monsoon waterfalls and trekking through sacred forest sanctuaries steeped in Chola-era heritage.

  6. Meghamalai – Elevated at 1,500 m, this “High Wavy Mountains” region in the Western Ghats sports misty spice and tea plantations, cloud forests, and rich fauna including elephants and rare hornbills.

These offbeat getaways promise tranquil landscapes and immersive experiences—perfect escapes from urban life less crowded than places like Ooty or Kodaikanal.
