With some great road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to enjoy all that Coimbatore, 16 miles away, has to offer. Marudhamalai Hill Temple ought to be at the top of your list here. Perur Pateeswarar Temple and Ramar Temple are fantastic attractions too. Locals will also probably point you in the direction of Ooty, 19 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, make sure it’s Ooty Lake. (But we’d also highly recommend Government Botanical Gardens and Ooty Rose Garden.)
