Tour to Coonoor Tamilnadu

Tour to Coonoor Tamil Nadu - 19 km from Ooty, Coonoor is a much popular hill station in Tamil Nadu. It is situated in the Nilgiris at an altitude of 1,858 m above sea level. Trip to Coonoor has also the distinction of being the second largest hill station in the Nilgiri ranges in Trip to Coonoor Tour. Essentially a tea garden, the hill station is pleasantly cool all the year round. The hill town has been segregated into Upper and Lower Trip to Coonoor.

Surrounded by the tea plantations, and at an altitude of 1850 m, Coonoor is the first of the three Nilgiri hill station-Udhagamandalam (Ooty ), Kotagiri and
Coonoor - that you come to when leaving behind the southern plains. Like Ooty, it's on the toy train line from Mettupalayam.

While Kotagiri had the Kotas, and Ooty the Todas, so Coonoor was home to the Coon hill tribe. ( The suffix, 'oor', means village. ) This now bustling town appears rather squashed between the hills and it's only after climbing up out of the busy market area with the bus and train terminals that you'll get a sense of what hill stations were originally all about. For this reason, too, most of the better accommodation is in Upper Coonoor.
