Kinathukadavu taluk at a glance
Kinathukadavu taluk sits at the midpoint of the Coimbatore–Pollachi highway: close enough to the city for a daily drive, far enough out that land is still sold by the acre. Its 35 revenue villages fall into three firkas: Kinathukadavu itself along the highway, Vadachittur to the east, and a separate Kovilpalayam firka to the south towards Negamam.
It is primarily a farmhouse and farm-land market (coconut, banana and vegetable farms, with a growing number of weekend farmhouses owned by Coimbatore families) plus layouts and houses near the highway and the colleges around Kinathukadavu town.
Village names and firkas follow the taluk-wise revenue village lists published by the Coimbatore district administration (coimbatore.nic.in). Distances are approximate road distances from Gandhipuram, computed from OpenStreetMap data (© OpenStreetMap contributors). Use them to orient yourself, not as exact travel distances.
