Enchanting.
Sim’s Park in Coonoor is definitely worth a visit. Even though it is smaller than the Botanical Garden of Ooty, it is better laid out at different levels on a sloping hillside. There is a small lake where one can do some boating.
There is an entry fee of Rs.30 per head and a camera fee of Rs.50. The park is very scenic and one can take many enchanting photographs. Parking is available on the street outside, as well as an auto-rickshaw stand where one can get ‘tuk-tuks’ on hire. The tuk-tuks charge about Rs.140 for a round trip from the Railway Station.
We saw some very exotic trees from faraway lands like Australia, Brazil and Europe. There are colourful flower beds, lawns, rockeries as well as a rose garden. We also saw some rare species of trees like Rudraksh, Ferns, Camellia, Auraucaria, Oak, Eucalyptus, Acacia, Pines and more. Most of the trees are marked with their name boards and which country they are commonly found in.
There are clean washrooms in the park, and some restaurants outside. Be prepared to do some walking though, first downhill and then uphill to get back to the gates.
