Set high at 6,070 feet (1,850 meters) above sea level, Coonoor greets you with fresh air and spectacular views. It stays peaceful throughout the year. Quiet roads pass colonial homes and tea plantations. Every walk lets you find gardens full of blooms and heritage bungalows where history comes alive.
Coonoor reveals its finest charm between October and February. The air turns crisp, the hills are draped in soft mist, and temperatures linger between a refreshing 8°C and 17°C — perfect for quiet walks through tea gardens and scenic trails across the Nilgiris. Days are sunlit yet cool, evenings invite a shawl and a cup of freshly brewed tea, and the occasional post-monsoon drizzle only adds to the allure. If fortune favours you, you may witness the elusive Neelakurinji in bloom — painting the slopes in shades of ethereal violet, a sight that feels nothing short of extraordinary.
Coonoor is easy to reach. Land at Coimbatore International, just 81 km away. The forest drive is scenic, with hills and tea fields all around. For a classic touch, hop on the Nilgiri Mountain Railway between Mettupalayam and Coonoor. Road and rail links from Bengaluru, Chennai, or Coimbatore simplify travel.
Arrive and settle in. Enjoy dinner on the terrace as mist crosses the hills.
Begin with yoga. Visit a tea garden for tasting, wander through Sim’s Park, and spend time by your pool or around the bonfire.
Trek to Catherine Falls and soak in the mountain air. Enjoy slow hours with a book, or speak to the Lohono team about spa sessions, workshops, or town visits before you leave.
