Dolphin's Nose, Coonoor
Dolphin's Nose
A giant rock promontory east of Coonoor shaped like a dolphin's nose, with views of Catherine Falls and the deep valley below.
The viewpoint lies about 10 km east of Coonoor, and the road passes through tea gardens. A few minutes' walk from the parking area brings you to a platform at the edge of the cliff. Across the valley is Catherine Falls, and hundreds of meters below lies the valley floor. It is often visited together with Lamb's Rock. Entry is free or costs a small parking fee. Stay behind the railings and do not climb over them. In heavy fog, there is almost no view.
