Start your morning with a leisurely stroll through the fragrant terraces of Sim's Park, where manicured gardens, exotic trees and a small lake offer peaceful photo spots and birdwatching; pick up fresh homemade tea and snacks from a nearby stall. After 9:00 AM, head to Lamb's Rock for sweeping views over the Nilgiri hills and the distant tea estates, then stop at a local estate like Highfield Tea Factory for a short guided tour and tasting to learn about orthodox tea processing before moving on to lunch preparations.
After a relaxed lunch, wander through the fragrant terraces of Sheddon Falls for a short, scenic walk and cool misty views, then continue to Droog Fort, where a gentle climb rewards you with panoramic vistas of the Nilgiris and a glimpse into colonial-era military history. Finish the afternoon with a visit to Tea Garden Viewpoint (Ketti Valley Viewpoint) to watch the late-afternoon light sweep across tea estates and capture golden-hour photos before heading to a cozy café for highland tea.
As twilight falls, wander along the charming lanes to St. George's Church for a peaceful moment amid colonial architecture, then head to Karaikadh Tea Shop for a relaxed tasting of local blends paired with warm pakodas. Finish the evening at The Coonoor Club (or a nearby rooftop café) where you can enjoy Nilgiri-inspired dinner fare, watch the valley lights come alive, and sip a final cup of highland tea under cool mountain air.
