If you’re after a day-trip destination, we can help out. Located 25 miles away, Coimbatore is worth getting in the car for. Soak up the sights starting with Marudhamalai Hill Temple, Perur Pateeswarar Temple and Ramar Temple. Locals will also probably point you toward Thrissur, 30 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, make sure it’s Triprayar Sri Rama Temple. (But we’d also recommend Vadakkumnathan Temple and Thiruvambadi Krishna Temple.)
