Get lost from the Internet and social media! Get rid of movies and web-series! Forget about the corporate politics and rat race! Well, even if you want all of them, no one can help in this place. The Internet won't work, and the mobile network is weak. The only choice you have is to indulge in admiring nature at its best. Of course, I am talking about the hidden gem called Mango Tree Bungalow in the Nilgiris. The bungalow is located amidst tea plantations in Palaniappa Estate. It is the perfect destination in the Nilgiris if you want to just relax and spend your leisure time. The bungalow has two big bedrooms, a kitchen, a sitting room, and a dining room. There is a sweeping lawn on the frontside with access to the tea estate and an expansive balcony on the backside, overlooking the valley.

Lamb's Rock is an important viewpoint in Coonoor. It gives a spectacular view of the plains of Coimbatore and the beautiful Catherine waterfalls. This site is located at a distance of around 7 kms from the city center and is on the way to Dolphin's Nose. Happy travelling.

Located at a distance of around 10 kms from the center of Coonoor, Dolphin's Nose is a popular hill viewpoint. With an altitude of about 1550 meters above the sea level,  this gives an excellent view of the surrounding hills. If the weather condition is conducive, we could even get a distant glimpse of Catherine waterfalls. As the tip of the hill resembles the nose of a dolphin, the site is called so. From the base, an easy trek for 1 km would take us to this viewpoint. Happy travelling.

 After Ooty, Coonoor is the second most famous town of Nilgris mountain ranges. Sim's Park is one destination in Coonoor, which none of the tourists miss to visit. With the aim of serving as a resort for European residents, the garden was laid out in 1874 CE by J.D. Sim, the Government Secretary and Major Murray. Hence, the park was named after one of its founders.  Extending an area of around 12 hectares, this park has varieties of trees, plants, shrubs and creepers. It attracts a large number of tourists every year during the annual fruit and vegetable show. The rose garden and the boating in the lake are the major attractions within the park. Happy travelling.
