Coonoor, the second largest hill station in the Nilgiris, surrounded by massive verdant tea plantations, at an altitude of 1,839 metres above sea level, is picturesque and pleasantly cool throughout the year.
Connected simultaneously to Mettupalyam and Ooty by the unique Toy Train, it is a popular week-end getaway! The 19th century Scottish-style stately home that has now been transformed into one of the most popular Heritage Hotels in Coonoor, has its own prize-winning garden of the Nilgiris overlooking a unique pomological garden. It is located two minutes from Sim’s Park, one of India’s most luxuriant Botanical Gardens, laid out in 1874 with over 1200 species of plants and many old rare trees like the Rudraksh, Paperwood, Elephant Leg, Strawberry Tree etc.
