Start your trip with a visit to the VOC Park & Zoo, one of the largest and most popular zoos in South India. This 36-acre park houses over 1,000 animals, including tigers, lions, and elephants. The park also has a toy train, a mini-aquarium, and several rides for the kids. Take a stroll down the aviary and butterfly house in the evening before heading out to dinner.
Get ready for some fun in the sun at Black Thunder, the largest water theme park in Tamil Nadu. The amusement park has over 40 rides, including wave pools, waterfalls, and water slides. After a morning of fun, head out to The Nilgiris, a picturesque hill station situated in the Western Ghats. Enjoy the scenic drive and stop at viewpoints for breathtaking views of the mountains and the tea estates. Once there, take a leisurely walk around the Botanical Gardens and explore the local markets.
Spend your last day in Coimbatore at the Isha Yoga Center, a spiritual retreat that offers yoga programs and meditative practices. Visitors can take a tour of the ashram, attend a yoga class, or walk around the scenic gardens. After a relaxing morning, drive up to the Siruvani Waterfalls, one of the most picturesque and cleanest waterfalls in India. The 21 km drive up to the waterfalls follows a scenic route, and the falls themselves are surrounded by dense forests and wildlife.
If you have more time, you can consider visiting the Marudhamalai Hill Temple, Perur Temple, or the Kovai Kondattam amusement park. If you have less time, you can skip The Nilgiris or Siruvani Waterfalls. It is advisable to visit the waterfalls during the monsoon season (June-September), as the water level is higher and the surroundings are greener. Wear comfortable footwear and carry enough water and snacks on your nature trips. Finally, be mindful of the closing times of the attractions and plan your visit accordingly. Have a great trip!
