r/Coimbatore

So I'm 17f who is bored at home and have ideas of starting smthg new so i decided to join a run club but I'm afraid cuz I'm new to running and i am joining alone like there is no friend with me to join the club with..so i want a suggestion on which one is friendly and beginner friendly and i won't feel left out..

I got a job in Coimbatore for 60K per month. Is it possible to get a 1BHK apartment and manage my expenses. I'm not sure what is the cost of living in Coimbatore. I'm a bachelor and I do make some savings out of my salary. So is it possible to handle all of this from this salary?

We are from Kerala and my family (mom n bro) has never visited Tamil Nadu.

One of the places we thought of visiting this weekend is Coimbatore since it's close to Kerala.

While I did watch videos online, still want to get some feedback from folks living there or who have travelled to Coimbatore.

My mom is into temples, while my bro n me would in general prefer sight seeing and trying local food.

Is Coimbatore a good place for a weekend getaway?

Or maybe look at some place else?

Also, which area of Coimbatore should I book a hotel to have easy access to different places and restaurants?

I'll be there for 3 days -Sun, Mon, Tuesday. Mon is working for me and hence prefer to stay at a place from where mom n bro could visit temples during the day.

All the Elite Tasmacs in my area and nearby have closed and I am not able to find decent liquor. If anyone knows if any Elite shops still open let me know.

On the other hand, I came across older posts where many people were suggesting to just travel to Kerala border/Palakkad, since there are better options.

Which would be the best option?

If you think going to Kerala border/Palakkad is the better option, please suggest the best shops to visit for Scotch Whiskey and Beer.

Hi guys,

I'm in need of finding internet cafes, cowork spaces or any space in Coimbatore where I can get 100 mbps and higher internet speed. I'm in need of this higher speed for completing the payment of an application that is purely time and luck based due to a quota present in the application requests acceptable by the website, which has been slipping away from my fingers in mere 15-30 minutes of the time window. Imagine it to be an application such as a tatkal ticket booking experience. I need the space only for maximum 45 minutes.

Preferred spaces - Gandhipuram, Ram Nagar, RS Puram, Peelamedu, central cbe

Heavy traffic no bus crossed for more than an hour near karanampettai. Heard that there's an accident and will take upto 3 hours. Anyone around that place now? Or stuck in traffic?

Just as the title says, I am looking for shops where they could install MS word and everything. I tried a few online methods but nothing is working out.

Hey guys,

I'm 18/F.

Recently I have been seeing few post regarding volunteering opportunities in Coimbatore.

And one such NGO that gives you that opportunity is U & I - it's a organization across India, you could literally volunteer anywhere, they have so many centres

I'm a volunteer at U & I, coimbatore.

So i just wanted to share my experience -

While I was kid, just like most of us think , I grew up thinking

"When I grow up, i must make an impact in the society by teaching kids and supporting the unprivileged"

And I think U & I have paved a way for me. I joined in as a volunteer there, just spending 2.5-3 hours per week one day just to sit with that kid 1:1 and teach them.

I have always wanted to be that one big sister/ mentor whom kids can look upto.

We teach kids English basics(foundation literacy) and also tuition subjects. You know those kids aren't really exposed to real world and the certainly lack to know many things. But when you show up every week there, you can literally see the kid grow right infront of your eyes and I think that's the best thing one can ever do.

And the community, co- volunteers are so warm, helpful and once you be a part of it, you wouldn't want come out of it.

So if you read this post, and looking for such opportunities, I think this is your sign. If you have doubts regarding this, you can DM.

and I think this would be a great fit for youths especially college students who is looking to do something productive and meaningful during their weekends. and also corporates who does WFH or even free during weekends just to chill out, have a social gathering and doing something meaningful!!

Hey everyone,

I’m planning a quick 2 day weekend trip to Coimbatore on weekend with my partner. We are leaving from Gandhipuram and driving out toward the Western Ghats foothills.

Since it's late May and peak summer, I know a lot of the mainstream natural waterfalls might be dry or heavily restricted by the forest department. I’m looking for some local inside information to make this trip special:

1. Are there any lesser-known, secluded river streams, check dams, or small step-waterfalls tucked into the foothills around Thondamuthur, Narasipuram, or the Isha route where we can safely sit by clean running water without massive tourist crowds?

2. Any particular village backroads or loop routes around the valley base that offer incredible mountain views or sunset backdrops perfect for a cruise?

3. What are some absolute must try foods or specific food spots along the Thondamuthur-Isha stretch or near Ukkadam? We want to skip try authentic local staples, unique street food, or cool open-air garden cafes.

4. Are there any hidden gems, unique viewpoints, or interesting spots along these routes that regular tourists completely miss out on?

Thanks in advance!

Please suggest a good hair removal clinic with reasonable prices for hair reduction and reducing the keratosis pilaris pigmentation.

I heard reducing Kp depends on the machine used as well and doesn’t work with every machine. So any input from someone who got it treated with laser hair removal is appreciated.
Thanks.

Hey guys.... I'm non binary 23, trying to remake a really expensive outfit for an wedding.

Hi, im passionate about reptiles and would love to go for an herping tour. Im not from here so i wonder if there’s herpetologist or passionates people in Coimbatore.

We want to donate money to an Orphanage for our son's birthday (6 years old).
He is autistic and is not comfortable with birthday celebrations (crowd gathering, cake cutting, etc)
So we want to donate some money to an orphanage instead.
We also have some old kids and adult clothes we want to donate.
Prefer a place where the children have at least some space to play around.
So we would like to visit when the children are outside, so he gets some new exposure as well.
Hopefully, a win-win for everyone.

Looking for events for my parents to attend. They are mostly indoors . Want to keep them somewhat engaged and doctor suggested it will improve their health.

We are traveling from Bangalore as a family(8) to cbe for a function we will reach in the afternoon and spend max 2-3hours in the function and return back, instead of getting ready and then travelling whole day . We were thinking about getting changed in the retirement rooms keep our luggage’s there and come back and travel back in the night in the return train. But when we checked the IRCTC site there’s no rooms available. If anyone as any clues do suggest or if there’s any hourly rental or refreshment rooms available do share your inputs - travel date 23rd

So we are a family of 4 and we want to reach Coimbatore from Kodaikanal. Could you guys help us in finding good cab services with best tariff. Could you also help us with reasonable tariff for this route?
