Get around the city with these convenient transport options.
Prepaid airport taxi
The prepaid counter fixes the fare before you leave the terminal, which avoids haggling. Journey is roughly 10-12 km and typically 30-45 minutes depending on Avinashi Road traffic.
App cab (Uber / Ola)
App cabs are widely used in Coimbatore. Availability at the airport can tighten during peak arrival banks, so keep the prepaid counter as a backup.
Auto-rickshaw
Useful for the last kilometre from Avinashi Road hotels. Agree the fare before boarding and carry small notes, as drivers rarely have change for large denominations.
TNSTC city bus
Cheapest option and useful if you stay in the city centre. Bus stops near the venue require a short walk to the gate, so allow extra time with catalogues and luggage.
Suburban train plus auto
Coimbatore has no metro rail; suburban services connect the main stations. Combine a train leg with an auto-rickshaw for the last stretch to the venue.
Car with driver (full day)
Practical if you plan to combine the show with visits to kitchen equipment fabricators in the Coimbatore cluster. Book through the hotel or a local operator and confirm the hourly and kilometre limits.
Venue parking
On-site parking is available at Codissia. Arrive before the morning rush for a space near your hall and keep the parking slip for exit.

Weather
January is one of the drier, cooler months in Coimbatore, with daytime temperatures typically around 29-32 C and nights near 18-21 C. The northeast monsoon has largely wound down by January, but a short passing shower is still possible, so pack a compact umbrella. Halls at Codissia are air-conditioned and can feel cold during long meetings, so bring a light jacket alongside cotton daywear. Check the forecast in the week before travel for any change.
Plan for the climate
Check temperatures and pack accordingly

Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.
Business language
Tamil is the everyday language in Coimbatore and English is standard for business meetings, exhibitor literature and venue signage. Hindi is understood by many exhibitors from outside Tamil Nadu, but opening with English or Tamil is appreciated.
Dress code on the show floor
Business casual is the norm - collared shirts and trousers for men, smart casual for women - with comfortable shoes for walking halls all day. A light jacket is useful for air-conditioned meeting rooms.
Greetings and meeting style
A handshake is common in business settings, though some counterparts may prefer a namaste greeting. Exchange business cards with the right hand, and expect initial conversations to include small talk about your company and city before pricing.
Pongal timing
The four-day Pongal harvest festival falls in mid-January and is a major holiday across Tamil Nadu. Hotel rates and domestic flight demand rise around it, and some local businesses work shorter hours - confirm appointments and check-in dates in advance.
Food and dietary expectations
Coimbatore has a strong vegetarian food culture, and many hotels serve both South Indian and North Indian menus. If you are hosting buyers, ask about vegetarian, Jain and halal preferences before booking a restaurant.
Tipping and payments
Tipping is not compulsory but is appreciated for taxi drivers, hotel porters and restaurant staff. Cards and UPI mobile payments are widely accepted in Coimbatore, though carrying some rupees in cash is useful for autos and small purchases.
Venue and badge etiquette
Wear your badge visibly at all times inside the halls and keep a photo ID with you for security checks. Photography of exhibitor stands usually requires permission, especially for proprietary equipment and food-processing lines.
Practical guides
Everything needed to arrive prepared, navigate the event, and make the visit productive.
