A hilly paradise perched in the lusciousness of the Nilgiris, Coonoor is one of the most soothing hill-stations in the country. With tea plantations and greenery gracing the town’s entirety and weather that not only calms the skin but also the soul, Coonoor is and should deserve a spot in every to-visit list. Marked by red-topped houses on green slopes enveloped by fog and picturesque natural attractions, it is a destination that is best enjoyed during the summertime. Although a small town, it is much more peaceful and beautiful than Ooty. And while the lower part of the town bustles with commercial activities and crowd, upper Coonoor is where nirvana truly exists. Nevertheless, here is what a summer spent in Coonoor looks like.
