Introduction
Coonoor in Tamil Nadu, at an altitude of 1,858 meters above sea level, is the second largest hill station in Tamil Nadu. Perched on the charming Nilgiri hills, Coonoor Hill Station is situated on the eastern side of the southern extremity of the Doddabetta range. Just 19 km away from Ooty, a famous hill station of the country, Coonoor is one of the major attractions in Tamil Nadu.
With lush green meadows, lovely sunflowers, marigolds and rhododendrons, Coonoor is nestled amidst serene surroundings. It is essentially a small tea garden town where the weather remains pleasant throughout the year. It is home to a variety of birds and hence bird watching is a popular pastime here for those on a tour to Tamil Nadu.
The British developed Ooty as a very popular hill station for them to avoid the scorching Indian summer. But once Ooty became renowned as a tourist spot, it lost its charm with hordes of tourists pouring in. This gave birth to Coonoor, home to the Coon hill tribe, to form another equally quaint hill station.
There are various places of interest in Coonoor in Tamil Nadu. Sim's Park, a small botanical garden having collection of 1000 species of unique trees and plants, was constructed in 1874 AD. Other interesting and memorable tourist destinations in Coonoor are Lamb's Rock, Dolphin's Nose, Lady Canning's Seat, Pomologocal Station, The Pasteur Institute, etc. Look around Coonoor from close quarters with comfort sitting in a Toy train.
