Tea, Trains, and Tranquility: Exploring Coonoor

Often overshadowed by its famous neighbor Ooty, Coonoor is Tamil Nadu’s underrated gem nestled in the Nilgiris. With its cool breeze, endless tea gardens, and old colonial charm, Coonoor is the kind of place where time slows down, and your heart speeds up — in the best way possible.

The best way to arrive? Hop on the heritage toy train from Mettupalayam to Coonoor. The slow-moving ride through tunnels, forests, and misty valleys is an experience in itself. Once in town, take a walk through Sim’s Park, sip fresh Nilgiri tea, and stop by Highfield Tea Estate to see how your favorite brew is made.

Coonoor isn’t about checklist tourism. It’s about soaking in the mountain air, reading a book by the fireplace, or chatting with locals at a cozy café. A short drive takes you to Dolphin’s Nose Viewpoint and Lamb’s Rock, both offering panoramic views of the Western Ghats.

Whether you’re a couple, a solo traveler, or on a family trip, Coonoor offers that rare combination of calm, charm, and comfort. It’s perfect for anyone looking to escape the crowd without giving up on beauty.
