Surrounded by rolling green hills and mist-covered valleys, it’s a perfect retreat for nature lovers, honeymooners, and those who appreciate the quiet side of the mountains.

Highlights include a visit to Sim’s Park, a beautifully maintained botanical garden home to rare trees and flowers, and Lamb’s Rock and Dolphin’s Nose, two breathtaking viewpoints offering sweeping views of the valleys below. Kunoor is also known for its tea factories, where you can walk through aromatic plantations and taste fresh Nilgiri tea right where it’s grown.
Whether you’re enjoying a ride on the Nilgiri Mountain Railway, hiking along scenic trails, or simply soaking in the crisp mountain air, Kunoor invites you to slow down and reconnect with nature. It’s a destination where time seems to pause offering peace, beauty, and unforgettable moments in the heart of the hills.
