A suburban locality nestled in what is proudly called the ‘Manchester of South India’, Vadavalli is one of the prime residential areas in Coimbatore. Its unique location, right at the foothills of the Western Ghats, makes this place a pleasant retreat from the buzzing industrial areas surrounding it.

Even though Vadavalli is not exactly located near a railway junction or an airport, the locality more than makes up for it with its self-sufficient and self-sustaining communities. Previously an agricultural community, Vadavalli gets ample amount of water from the Siruvani river, which is located at a distance of around 35 kilometres.

In the past few years, Vadavalli has bloomed from an agricultural society to a popular housing colony. In addition, foremost colleges like the Bharathiyar University and Government Law College have also been set up here, at a distance of only 6 km from Vadavalli. With all the basic necessities available nearby, Vadavalli is set to become one of the most sought-after residential areas in western Tamil Nadu.

Vadavalli is infrastructure is still to be upgraded from the suburban roads and street side shops that characterize its layout. The Coimbatore Corporation has set its sights on improving this area in terms of infrastructure and general modernization.

Connectivity and Transit Points

Since Vadavalli is located at the foothills of Maruthamalai in the Western Ghats, connectivity to surrounding areas is not one of the best features of this place. Roads are the primary mode of connectivity, with the Marudhamalai road on the State Highway 167 passing through this region. Apart from this, the Vadavalli-Thondamuthur road is the only other major road in this area. Town buses are available for the public to travel within Coimbatore and SETC buses for people travelling to cities like Chennai and Bangalore.

There are three important railway stations in the vicinity with the Coimbatore Junction located at a distance of 9 km. The Coimbatore North Junction is situated at a distance of 6 km from Vadavalli and the Podanur Junction is at a distance of 17 km. But as far as air travel goes, the Coimbatore International Airport is located at a distance of 19 km from Vadavalli.

The famous Lord Muruga Temple in Maruthamalai, Anuvavi Temple, the 2000-year-old Perur Temple and the Vellingiri Hills Lord Shiva site are some of the popular places surrounding Vadavalli.
