Coonoor
Coonoor is the quieter Nilgiri hill station paired with Ooty, known for tea estates, Sim's Park, and viewpoints like Dolphin's Nose. It sits lower and feels calmer than Ooty, with misty valleys, colonial bungalows, and the Nilgiri Mountain Railway stopping at Coonoor station. Travelers use it for tea factory visits, short walks, and overnight stays when Ooty feels crowded. Lamb's Rock and Catherine Falls add easy day outings from town. Coonoor matches Kodaikanal as a soft hill escape, with a gentler pace and strong tea-country scenery.
