Planning a Trip to Southeastern India

Surguru is the best a/c veg restaurant in town: the "South-Indian meals" is a favourite: always tasty, brought to your table in no time and priced moderately (around Rs 40).

The old Surguru is in Sardar Vallabhai Patel Salai, and the new Surguru (same quality, team, etc..) is on Mission Street, near the Cathedral.

Coimbatore is a major industrial city in India and the third largest city in the state of Tamil Nadu.. It is known as Manchestre of South India. Coimbatore is situated in the extreme west of Tamil Nadu, near the state of Kerala. Coimbatore has a population of over 1.5 million. Coimbatore is known for its textile factories, engineering firms, automobile parts manufacturers, health care facilities, educational institutions, pleasant weather, hospitality and for its Kongu Tamil. Coimbatore has a very pleasant, salubrious climate. Other towns in South India reach unbearable temperatures, while Coimbatore does not feel the heat as much. The temperature in this part of India is quite pleasant throughout the year. The best time to visit Coimbatore is between the months of July to February. The city has a multi-cultural society, mostly of cosmopolitan nature. Its inhabitants are largely conservative and traditional, retaining their roots in their native villages. There are numerous temples in the city. The city has three major temples, Marudamalai, Perur and Karamadai. Coimbatore cuisine is predominantly south Indian with rice as its base. Coimbatore flavours are generally fairly mild, with variations to suit the local palette. Most locals still retain their rural flavour, with many restaurants serving food over a banana leaf. North Indian, Chinese and continental cuisines are also available. Mysorepa (a sweet made from lentil flour and ghee), idly, dosa, Halwa (a sweet made of different ingredients like milk, wheat, rice) and vada-sambar and Biryani are popular among the locals. The recent influx of coffee shops and pizza shops has increased and serving as hangout locations for the youth. The city has its own airport catering to most of the domestic destinations and few international destinations. A well connected broad gauge rail system is present along with a small section of meter gauge rail link as well. Buses seems to be a major transport option for the city dwellers. A bus ride in the bus is always recommended to the visitors...a word of caution it is not for the light hearted...but one gets to see life of coimbatore there.

Chennai/Madras is one of the better cities in India. Indians 4th largest city its a little easier to handle than Delhi or Mumbai.

Hyderbad has a nickname called 'cyberabad' because it is India's computer and information centre. A must see here is the 'Ramoji film set', a 2000 acre site full of wild sets.

Coimbatore is a district and not really a city..
very poor public transport...
would do well to book car rental in advance..
is the spot to land to go to hill stations like Kodaikanal or Munnar

Get up early and get to the temple at dawn, watching it come alive before the hordes arrive is a fantastic experience...
