  1. Nice pictures. Thanks for sharing. Birdwatchers are in for a special treat with spectacular species of birds like the cormorants, pipits, thrushes, parakeets in abundance. The town also boasts of trekking trails, craggy walking paths and a number of unexplored spots for the adventurous. A spellbinding train ride in the toy train offers you panoramic views of the Nilgiri hills. Check out all Coonoor places to visit.
