Escape to Thirumoorthy Hills from Coimbatore for a perfect day trip! Explore the temple, trek to waterfalls, enjoy boating at the dam, and unwind in nature's serenity. Ideal for a quick getaway.
Experience the perfect blend of nature, spirituality, and adventure on a one-day tour to Thirumoorthy Hills from Coimbatore. Located approximately 100 km away, Thirumoorthy is a serene destination nestled at the foothills of the Western Ghats, near Udumalpet in Tamil Nadu. It is an ideal weekend escape for families, friends, bikers, trekkers, and spiritual seekers.
Your journey begins with an early morning drive from Coimbatore, passing through the scenic countryside and coconut plantations of Pollachi. Upon arrival, explore the peaceful Sri Amanalingeswarar Temple, a historic shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva, Vishnu, and Brahma. The temple is steeped in legend, associated with the story of Anusuya Devi and the Trimurti, giving the region its name.
Next, take a refreshing trek through forested trails to reach the beautiful Panjalinga (Thirumoorthy) Waterfalls. The short 1.5 to 3 km trek offers scenic views and leads to a cascading waterfall where visitors often take a dip in the cool mountain stream (flow is seasonal, best post-monsoon). After the trek, enjoy a packed lunch or picnic in the shaded gardens near the dam.
In the afternoon, relax by the tranquil Thirumoorthy Dam and enjoy a boating session on the reservoir with panoramic views of the surrounding hills. For those with extra time.
Return to Coimbatore by evening with beautiful memories of a peaceful, nature-filled day. This tour offers the perfect combination of spiritual calm, natural beauty, and outdoor activity—all in a single day.
