Muharram 2025: Plan a Quick 2-Day Getaway
With Muharram falling on Sunday, July 6, and the observed public holiday expected on Monday, July 7, 2025, this creates a rare opportunity for a two-day break for school students, working professionals, and families. If you’re in Tamil Nadu or around Coimbatore, it’s the perfect excuse to pack your bags and go for a short, refreshing road trip.
Top Destinations for a 2-Day Trip from Coimbatore
1. Ooty – The Queen of Hills (85 km)
Ooty never fails to charm. Start early Sunday and reach by noon to enjoy the cool weather and tea gardens. Spend your evening boating at Ooty Lake and exploring the local market. On Day 2, visit Doddabetta Peak, the Botanical Garden, and the Rose Garden before heading back.
2. Valparai – The Lesser-Known Gem (105 km)
If you want something more peaceful and nature-friendly, Valparai is ideal. The winding roads, tea plantations, and waterfalls make it a scenic retreat. Stay in an eco-resort and spot wildlife at the Anamalai Tiger Reserve or Aliyar Dam on your return.
3. Munnar – Nature’s Paradise (160 km)
Slightly farther but worth every mile. Leave early on July 6, and you’ll reach Munnar by afternoon. Visit Attukad Waterfalls, Echo Point, and tea estates. Day 2 can be spent relaxing at a spice plantation or exploring Eravikulam National Park.
