Vaidehi falls

Vaidehi Falls is at Narasipuram in the outskirts of Coimbatore. It is at a distance of about 30 km from Coimbatore on the Coimbatore - Siruvani road.I love Vaidehi falls as we went trekking through the forest to reach the falls.I remember that this place was untouched and was full on greenery in 1995.I had not seen a place that calm and peaceful then.I am sure all my classmates of high school will remember this trip.It was a memorable one.Unfortunately i have not found any picture of Vaidehi falls.

Anubhavi Subramaniya temple

Anubhavi Subramaniya temple is an ancient temple for Lord Muruga(Hindu God).This temple is on the Annaikatti highway on the outskirts of Coimbatore.The temple is located on a hill top and there is no vehicle access to the hill top.The only way to access the temple is by climbing the stairs.I love this temple because it is nostalgic,it reminds me of the wonderful times spent with my parents and brother.
