Activities In Coonoor

From trekking to tiered waterfalls to exploring tea estates, here’s a complete guide of things to do in Coonoor. Irrespective of the weather or occasion, there are plenty of activities in Coonoor for tourists of all ages. Whether it’s a family holiday or a romantic getaway, taking the toy train ride on the Nilgiri Moutain Railway is one of the most rewarding activities in Coonoor. The train ride starts from Mettupalayam and makes its way through Nilgiri Hills all the way up to Ooty, after making a stop in Coonoor. Enjoy scenic landscape and spend quality time with loved ones while taking this memorable train ride in Coonoor.

Taking a long drive through mountains to visit waterfalls is a great way to explore the region. However, tourists can also opt for trekking in Coonoor to reach the base or top of the waterfalls. A moderate trek to Catherine Falls or Katary Waterfalls is recommended in the rainy season to enjoy the nature’s glory at its best. Trekking in Coonoor allows tourists to do something off the popular trail and also opportunities to witness local flora and fauna in the Nilgiri Hills.

A 50-year-old estate named Highfield Tea Estate lies about 2 km northeast of upper Coonoor. It’s one of the oldest working Nilgiri tea factories in Tamil Nadu that is open to visitors. Visitors are welcome to watch the tea-making process in the plantation and also buy different flavours of freshly produced tea at the shop here. It is also one of the ideal places for shopping in Coonoor, especially items such as tea, chocolates, spices, and herbal oils.

Wondering what to do in Coonoor? Take the afternoon to stroll through Sim’s Park. This botanical garden, developed in Japanese style, is a major point of interest in Coonoor for kids and families. The fruit and vegetable event held at Sim’s Park every year in May is worth attending. Boating in Coonoor can also be enjoyed at a tiny lake in the Sim’s Park, a famous point of interest in Coonoor.

There are two popular viewpoints in Coonoor: Dolphin’s Nose and Lamb’s Rock. Both of these viewpoints have their own appeal. While Dolphin’s Nose allows breath-taking panoramas of the valley and Coimbatore city, Lamb’s Rock is a relatively quieter spot to have fun with family or the better half. These viewpoints are located only 2 kilometres apart and yet offer a completely different view of the surroundings. Catherine Waterfalls is visible from Dolphin’s Nose viewpoint along the Coonoor-Kotagiri road. One can also opt to take a short trek to a lovely spot in the lap of nature.

Enjoying adventure activities such as rock climbing and camping in Hidden Valley are best things to do in Coonoor on a vacation. And those looking for a laid-back pastime can try putting a hole-in-one at Coonoor Golf Club. Overall, things to do in Coonoor have different strokes for different folks!

    Cab driver was good but cab vendor behaviour was unprofessional. Just for Rs 300 he made the vehicle stop in the middle of the trip. He was not even ready to listen to me.

    The services were good overall...Travel agent was reachable to me for any queries or issues. Cab driver was good as well. The only problem we faced was there was no restaurant near hotel in Trivandrum. Stay was comfortable though.

    Gwadibhasme's 4 days trip to Coonoor

    ज्या भाषेचा माणूस टूर का गेला तर लँग्वेज च्या खूप मोठा प्रॉब्लेम होतो कारण ड्रायव्हरला स्थानिक भाषा येते आणि आपली भाषा आपण काय बोलतो ते कळत सुद्धा नाही. हा एक मोठा डिफॉल्ट मला या ooty ट्रीप मध्ये दिसून आला. म्हणून ज्या भाषेचे लोक फिरायला गेले त्यांना त्या राज्यामध्ये त्याच भाषेच्या किंवा हिंदी भाषा
    ज्ञात असलेला ड्रायव्हर पुरविण्यात यावा हीच अपेक्षा. आधी योगी फारच सुंदर ...आणि Ooty तर बेस्ट . कर्नाटका good ड्रायव्हर ड्रायव्हिंग वेरी गुड व्हेरी व्हेरी गुड

    Srkahmed's 2 days trip to Coonoor

    This was my first time traveling with TravelTriangle, and I would like to sincerely appreciate Vishwajeet Singh for his consistent follow-ups and assurance that everything would go smoothly. He asked us to trust him—and he delivered. Even during the trip, he checked in to ensure we faced no issues.
    I truly believe he is a valuable asset to your team.

    Dhairyasheel's 5 days trip to Coonoor

    If it is a peak travel time, you can suggest us for some other off season time so we can change the plans accordingly.. due to peak time, the places were too crowded so could not visit some of the points.
