Coonoor, in the Nilgiri Hills of Tamil Nadu, offers a quieter alternative to Ooty, rich in tea estates, forested slopes, and panoramic walks. Mist, greenery, and cool air define its hill station mood.
Tea gardens plateaus edge the slopes, lined with clipped shrubs, pickers moving through foliage, and trails weaving between bushes. Sim’s Park, Lamb’s Rock, and Lady Canning’s Seat provide viewpoints over valleys and distant hills. Forested sections reveal eucalyptus, shola, and endemic flora.
Trains on narrow-gauge tracks ascend between tunnels, curves, and jaw-dropping drops — a ride through heritage lines. Village life weaves through hillside shadows, traditional homes mix with tea estate quarters.
With Atlas Tours, your Coonoor experience is paced — tea walks, heritage train rides, forest trails, lodging with valley outlook, and relaxed days. Whether pulled by misted hills, tea aroma, or forest silence, Coonoor invites you to breathe Nilgiri calm.
