Coonoor Travel Guide: The Quieter Side of the Nilgiris

A comprehensive guide to Coonoor's heritage bungalows, endless tea estates, and dramatic valley viewpoints.

If Ooty is the bustling capital, Coonoor is the quiet, aristocratic cousin. Time stops here. The best way to experience Coonoor is on foot through the tea estates. Walk up to Dolphin's Nose just after sunrise—the view of Catherine Falls plunging into the valley below will stay with you forever. And always make time for a pot of fresh local tea.
