Major Attractions
Kodanaad View point : Also known as the 'Terminus Country', it is one of the biggest draws for tourists in travel in kotagiri. From here one can have impressing views of rivers, plateaus, valleys, trenches, paddy fields etc.

Elk falls : Even though dry for some months of the year, is worth visiting this place; reason being, it has the first European house built in Nilgris here. Now a ruin, but still is a captivating sight. Another reason is the Badaga settlement, on the road to the falls. Quaint and idyllic, this is a beautiful definition of a tribal village. Great place for anthropology.

Wellington: Wellington situated on the way from Coonoor to Ooty is a military town with rows and rows of barracks. The headquarters of the Madras Regimental Centre, the Indian Army and the Defence Staff College are located here.

Long Wood Shola : 3 km away from the town, it is a wild life reserve. Perfectly peaceful and untouched forest trails are an invitation to serenity seekers. Also a great place for Ornithology.
