year has brought cheer to the producers and traders
who operated at the auctions of Coonoor Tea Trade Association.

| Coonoor Experience:
This is less spoiled place and less crowded shopping
street as compared with Ooty. However there are two
sides of Coonoor. One which is from Sims park to Dophin's
nose which has better road and nice area to roam around.
The other area does not have that impressive road.
Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Road leading to a famous
point Dolphin's nose is in very good condition and pleasant
journey of few minutes. Dolphin's nose is a good point
to visit. A visit to tea factory was full of helpful
tips and courtesy. Its famous Sims park botonical garden
is small but nice and leaves pleasant memory. Simple
market street with less choice.
An excellent commercial COOL LOCATION to visit which
has an excellent climate in the western ghats |
