Coonoor Travel Guide

Charming, pretty Coonoor is a quiet little hill station in the Nilgiris. The green hills of Coonoor are radiant with tea plantations, gardens and flowers. The whole hill station has an unpolluted, unhurried grace, making it quite the place for a peaceful sojourn. Though the town has traditionally been over shadowed by big brother and popular neighbour Ooty, Coonoor is definitely less commercialized and has a more predictable climate. The drive to Coonoor is breath-taking and winds around a dozen hairpin bends.

The market and commercial heart of the town is in Lower Coonoor and the residences are clustered in Upper Coonoor. Most of the bungalows are old-fashioned with lattice windows, red tiled roofs, manicured lawns and rose bushes. This scenic hill station makes for a lovely honeymoon destination, the sprawling tea gardens and the lush green hills. So travel to Coonoor and get one step closer to heaven.
