April 09, 2025

MONTHS after the Coimbatore forest division officials separated the room rent and boat ride fees at Poochimarathur eco-tourism spot near Velliangadu in Karamadai forest range, there has been a steady uptick in the number of tourists visiting the spot.

Earlier, the Tamil Nadu forest department had fixed the cost of the package at ₹2,300 per person, including food, stay and cost of the boat ride. However, this was reduced to ₹1,000 per person for stay. Following this move in August 2024, the number of bookings has gone up to 40-45 per month.
