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!

    Vinzeeus's 2 days trip to Coonoor

    I am not satisfied with service provided , while booking agent told he will provide hindi speaking driver also he said full day driver will be with you and wherever you want to take you can take him in stipulated time but , in actual that driver refused to go any far place which takes 30min only,
    driver said he will charge extra if he goes 30 min far from city , also he was not able to speak hindi or English properly. Also after booking driver details given very late to me , I only called to booking agent for driver number Kodaikanal stay was beautiful, sky view villa is best to stay
