About Kotagiri in Coonoor

Here’s all important information about Kotagiri tourism and Kotagiri map:

Located in the Nilgiri Hills at an elevation of 1,793 metres, Kotagiri has its own distinct appeal among Coonoor tourist places. Kotagiri is located about an hour’s drive from Ooty and Coonoor – two of the most popular hill stations in Tamil Nadu.

Named after the local tribe of ‘Kota’ people, Kotagiri is located about 30 kilometres west of Ooty. A quieter and unassuming place than Ooty or Coonoor, this idyllic town is one of the hidden gems in Tamil Nadu. Kodanad tea estate is another popular attraction in the list of places to visit in Kotagiri. A popular spot for honeymooners, Kodanad view point provided jaw-dropping views of the valley below. One can see the Gajalahatti pass and paddy fields of Thengumarahaada basked in sunshine from this view point in Kotagiri.

The cone-shaped Rangaswamy Peak remains shrouded by the mist most of the time. This majestic peak, visible from Kodanad view point, is revered by local tribes of Nilgiri hills. The trek allows beautiful views of nearby villages and opportunities to explore tea estates in Kotagiri. Trekking in Longwood Shola Reserve Forest is a popular thing to do in Kotagiri. It’s a typical rainforest with tall canopy trees and medicinal plants. Visitors can spot animals like gaur and deer on the 2-km hike through the forest.

Pethakal Bungalow, Catherine Falls, Elk Falls, Kamatraya Temple, are Bikkapathi Reserve are other worth-exploring places on a Kotagiri sightseeing tour.

    Alokananda's 5 days trip to Coonoor

    We had a very pocket-friendly trip at Coorg and Ooty, thanks to Travel Triangle for arranging such a wonderful trip. The timings were perfect coinciding with the nature's intricate way of displaying it's beauty throughout our trip. We started our trip from B'lore to Coorg and reached our destination
    at night due to traffic along the way but the Jungle Hill Resort was mesmerizing and quite well kept with a 4-bedded deluxe room. We visited the spectacular Golden Temple or one of the largest Tibetan Monastery which is also known as Namdroling Monastery. It encompasses the large school for the young monks and bave beautiful small cafes and eateries and souvenir shops for the tourist to check out. We found it had a beautiful view of the jungle and mountain view in the morning. The food was on the expensive side but we had breakfast buffet included in our package. Abbey Falls and the views of the meadows of Mandal petti were breathtaking. At Puspagiri National Park, it didn't feel like we were in India that showcased the best views of Nilgiri Hills adorned with the Nilkurungi plants. Rest of the places to visit were good but their slight overpriced such as Coffee Plantation tour, Dubbare Elephant Camp. Our hotels rooms at Ooty were disappointing. Rooms received from Kemp's Cave at their neighbouring building called The Baron's who gave us rooms with dirty linens, broken window lock, malfunctioning bathroom door and intercom. It was difficult to communicate with hotel staff although the reception staff were fast in sending help. Only the linens were changed and bathroom door was fixed. Rest were not fixed during our two days stay. The sightseeing was very good especially what made our day was the toy train ride from Ooty to Coonoor. The whole place was standstill due to traffic during public holiday so we had to resort to walking down the hill to reach the Ugadamandalam Railyway Station in Ooty. Pykara Falls and Lake, Wenlock Downs are picturesque places to remember in this trip. We opted out to visit Tea Factory and Doddabetta Peak due to heavy traffic. Mr. Rahul Kumar from All India Holiday has helped us before and throughout our trip to customise it and with payments at every juncture to make it a hassle-free ordeal. He have been very hospitable, content and patient in managing our trip . Travel Triangle and team has yet again made it possible for us to collect the best memories from hills of Ooty and Coorg. The best part of this trip was the journey through Bandipur Tiger Reserve and Madumalai Tiger Reserve when heading towards Ooty from Coorg via Bangalore-Mysore-Ooty Highway. We were surprised to spots innumerous deers, peacock, peahens, monkeys, wild Elephants and Giant Indian Squirrels. The reserves are well maintained with strict rules that are followed while traveling through them. We were lucky to get the glimpse of this reserve twice and both the times we have got to spot the animals.
