Kovaipudur

Kovaipudur

Kovaipudur is a small township at the foot hills of the Western Ghats, on the outskirts of Coimbatore. Kovaipudur is sometimes known as 'Little Ooty' due to its cool climate and serene environment, and was set up sometime in late seventies. Today this township has about 7500 families, two arts colleges, two engineering colleges, a polytechnic and a handful of schools. Kovaipudur is a 15-minute drive from Ukkadam and a 20-minute drive from R. S. Puram. Many small colonies have also come up around Kovaipudur in recent times. Kovaipudur has come under the Coimbatore Corporation as of January 2008.

Kovaipudur lies at the mouth of the Palghat Pass and at the extreme western fringe of the Coimbatore city, bordering the Western Ghats at the foothills of the Madukkarai range in Coimbatore and the Walayar ranges in Kerala. Kovaipudur has mainly scrub vegetation as these hills make it a rainshadow area. The temperature there is about 3 deg C lower than Coimbatore City at night. There is a constant breeze for 9- 10 months of the year: from April 3rd week to Sep end from Kerala and from Oct to Jan end from North East, deflected by the mountains.
