Situated
19 kms from Ooty, the hill station of Coonoor is situated around 1850 metres in
the Nilgiri Mountains and has been a popular tourist destination since colonial
times. It is still the centre of the tea industry in the Nilgiris and is home
to many tea estates and plantations that still make up the major part of the
economy there, but tourism is slowly catching up. For visitors coming in, booking Hotels
in Coonoor with Tariff based on their budget would be a good option.
Being
less developed than Ooty, it has developed more slowly, but the quality of the Hotels
in Coonoor with Tariff range from 3, 4, and 5-star hotels to resorts in tea
estates, old and new resorts, and home stays. The tariffs for the rooms in many
of the hotels and resorts during the peak season range from Rs. 4000 to Rs.
26,000 per night per room; the higher tariff are luxurious resorts with free
breakfast and amenities like satellite
TV, air conditioning, etc., and has the advantage of being in very verdant
locations close to the city centre.
For
travellers visiting the Nilgiris and wanting to experience the local atmosphere,
activities, food, etc., have the option of requesting a Homestay in Ooty or
Coonoor. A good homestay would give a new guest to the place an opportunity to
eat home-cooked meals, plan trips around the town with inputs from the host,
arrange for travelling facilities, etc., which would make their stay a
memorable one.
