Coonoor
Coonoor
Situated a little lower than Ooty at 1850m, Conoor is a peaceful, often overlooked hill station, which has avoided the ravages of tourism. Visit Sim’s Park, nearby waterfalls, tea gardens or enjoy a train ride on the miniature Blue Mountain Train. Similar to Ooty, it has a strong ‘British’ air, resulting from the abundance of old Victorian buildings scattered throughout the area. The place Welington in Coonoor is one of the famous and largest Indian military training camp.
