Coonoor
VIEW ON MAP
2 Days
Best-known for its cosy stays, comfortably cool climate, and panoramic views of the tea-lined Nigiris that rise around it, Coonoor is a winding 20-kilometre downhill drive from bustling Ooty. And, a great alternative from Ooty’s crowds and tourists. Adjacent to the active army cantonment of Wellington, the town is a comforting mix of quaint homes along with Eucalyptus drives, and homely boutique stays and cafes. An ideal summer retreat from the hot plains and coast, Coonoor is equally idyllic in its crisp yet pleasant winters when it comes alive with an unmistakable festive air.
