Coimbatore's main draws are its position as a gateway to the Nilgiri Hills and the Western Ghats rather than the city itself. Within the city, the Isha Yoga Centre draws visitors from across the world, and a handful of temples and the VOC Park are worth a few hours. The real appeal is using the city as a base for day trips to Ooty, Kodaikanal, and the Anamalai Tiger Reserve.
