Lamb's Rock in Coonoor is a view point named after Collector Captain Lamb just 8 kms from the city. It has a stunning view of the Coimbatore plains, tea estates and coffee estates on the slopes of the Nilgiri Hills.
On the way to the spot there are few shops of local spices, tea by the road side. We bought few items from here and quality was good.
The mountain cliff is at 5000ft above the sea level. Green hills all around the cliff, mist and cool breeze make the visit worthwhile.
One of the views here is 'Sleeping Lady' as seen above. The top of the mountain gives an impression of a lady in deep sleep overlooking the skies.
It is a mountain cliff with steep depth down below. The view point with concrete shade is standing on the cliff accessible by man-made steps. The walk up to this point passes through a thick forest of various trees some bearing flowers.

LOVELY SHOTS AND CONTENT!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful rural landscape -- quite unexpected to me. I did know tea was grown in India, but did not know coffee was. Great pictures.
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures...:)
ReplyDeleteI really missed visiting this view point while visited Dolphin’s nose. It was quite misty then. Though I think now, even I visited I couldn't make up to the concede shade.
ReplyDeleteYou captured some lovely photos here and the view on sleeping lady is superb!
What a beautiful area. Love the first shot with all the pattern of farming.
