14 people recommendvia r/Coimbatore, r/TamilNadu·16 comments quoted below
What people say, in short
A hilltop Murugan temple that visitors frequently recommend among Coimbatore's worthwhile stops, with one visitor describing peaceful vibes and a beautiful hilltop view, and another praising the scenic drive up the hill. A couple of commenters suggest going early in the morning, and one notes the temple is a detour on the way back from Perur with heavy traffic on the route, so plan the day carefully. One commenter warns the area is not nice in peak summer. If vehicle entry up the hill is restricted, a commenter advises parking below and taking the shuttle bus or climbing the steps.
