Begin early from Coimbatore and travel via Mettupalayam, the gateway to the Nilgiris. As the road climbs through the winding ghat section, enjoy views of misty forests, cascading streams and rolling tea plantations. In Coonoor, visit Sim’s Park, explore the peaceful hill-station surroundings and continue to viewpoints including Lamb’s Rock and Dolphin’s Nose.
