Garden · Nature / Park
Weave your way around snaking staircases, hidden paths, and perfectly kept lawns at Sim`s Park, a lush attraction in the heart of Conoor. Boasting more than a 1,000 species of tropical plants, the park is a colorful sanctuary with a hillside location. Enjoy a quiet ramble through a well-kept botanical landscape, keeping a keen eye out for the crimson tinted rosefinch, often found on the aromatic branches of the cinnamomum trees scattered across the park. Established in 1874, the garden remains a popular spot and can get quite busy at the weekends. Restrooms and concessions are located on site. Plan my day in Coonoor using traveler tips and tourist information provided by Inspirock.

    Very well maintained. Can see a lot of variety of plants, trees and flowers. A small lake with paddling boats. A small play area with slides, see-saw, swings etc for children. Even saw tress aging 130yrs!! Very friendly and down to earth staff who maintains the garden.
  • By Mainak Mandal
    Wonderful botanical garden. Lots of open space, and also has a kids' park and boating facilities (although boating was temporarily closed). Great place to spend time with friends, your better half, or family in the morning or late afternoon.
