About a trip from Kochin to Coonoor(Coinbatore).?

Question

My Japanese friend wants to come to Coonoor (T.N) via Kochin. Will you tell me the best way, and the fee, duration also?

Answer 1

Coonoor's economy relies primarily on the seasonal tourist traffic during the summer months, and on the tea industry year round. The town is the second largest in the Nilgiri hills after Ooty, the district head quarters.

The local populace almost entirely depends on the tea trade. Floriculture and strawberry cultivation are taking root of late. The massive private tea plantations that surround the hills produce fresh green tea leaves which are picked, processed and packaged in bulk in local factories, for sale at auction houses in Coonoor, Coimbatore and Cochin.

The hills are among the more scenic spots in Tamil Nadu, and consequently attract enormous amounts of tourists during the hot Indian summer months. The town’s infrastructure often finds itself unable to handle the tourist inflow, and life turns especially chaotic when the local horticultural society holds its annual “Fruit Show” at the peak of the tourist season, hosted at Sim's Park.

Coonoor’s dominant demographic is a healthy mix of religions, languages and cultures - caused by the tourists who decide to retire here, the Indian Army’s regimental headquarters and Staff College (DSSC) in neighboring Wellington, and the local boarding schools
