GETTING AROUND TOWN

Tour operators, forex, visa assistance, helplines...

Travelling in Coimbatore is painless. With the weather not being as harsh as its distant cousin Chennai, road rage is a rarity here. With autos, taxies and buses available aplenty, your commuting options are well taken care of. With the international airport to take shape by 2014, things can only get better with Kovai (that’s another name for Coimbatore). With well-laid roads and an enviable transport system, your stay in Kovai will be pleasant throughout. With a good mix of forex services, visa assistance, packers and movers, lawyers and chartered accountants, your business visit should be all the more convenient. Have a happy stay.
