Top 5 Sightseeing Places in Coonor

Law’s Falls

Law’s Falls is a quick and scenic stop surrounded by thick forest. The waterfall is conveniently located near town and easily accessible, making it one of the most popular sightseeing places  in Coonoor. It’s best seen during or just after the monsoon, when the water flow is at its peak.

Ketti Valley View Point

This viewpoint gives you a wide, uninterrupted view of one of India’s largest valleys. It’s along the Ooty–Coonoor route, so it’s a popular photo stop for travellers. If you're looking for a scenic tourist point in Coonoor that’s easy to reach and rewarding, this is a perfect pick.

Wellington Golf Course

Hidden Valley

True to its name, Hidden Valley is more of an offbeat escape surrounded by untouched greenery.
