INFORMATION ABOUT COONOOR

Coonoor's many hillocks and mounds, covered by grassy meadows and a profusion of sunflowers, marigolds and rhododendrons, are perfect for trekking. Birdwatching is a popular pastime - varied species of vultures, eagles and owls, song birds like bulbuls, thrushes, babblers, larks, cuckoos, and robins can be spotted. A short walk in just about any direction will take you to a quiet grassy picnic spot with a spectacular view.
