India - Coimbatore
Coimbatore is any entrepreneur's dream. It remains a city where family bonds are strong and a fusion of the traditional and the modern is the secret of success. The region’s rich black soil which contributed to the city’s flourishing agrarian economy, was later the very foundation for the establishment of its famous textile industry. The result? A solid economy and a reputation as one of the greatest industrial centres in South India.

For travellers, Coimbatore is largely a transport junction, a convenient stop to head to the famed hill stations of Ooty or Kodaikanal. That may change though. The city – known as India’s motorsports capital - is home to a Formula 3 circuit and several Go Kart circuits, hosts national rallies throughout the year and is tipped to host India’s first F1 race in the near future.

Fast Facts
 

In spite of its industrial prominence, Coimbatore still remains one of the most pollution free cities in India. The Isha Yoga Centre is a yoga retreat and place of spiritual pilgrimage. The centre’s multi-religious temple offers week/fortnight long yoga courses.

Go green at the Aanamalai Wildlife Sanctuary. Some 90 km away, it forms an interesting excursion from Coimbatore. The sanctuary, situated at an altitude of 1,400 meters in the Western Ghats, is home to some of the most fascinating flora and fauna. And if your idea of relaxing is high speed rides, then check out the Black Thunder Water Theme Park for thrills and spills, nestled in natural beauty with the green hills of the Nilgiris for a backdrop.
