点评:We visited in June 2026.
The viewpoint itself is beautiful, but the parking experience leaves much to be desired. Vehicles are parked along the roadside, and finding a suitable spot can be quite challenging, especially during busy periods. A parking fee of ₹100 per four-wheeler is charged (cash only), yet there is little to no assistance or guidance for managing the parking area, which can make the process frustrating.
The entry fee is ₹40 per adult.
The viewpoint features both an upper viewing platform (a watch tower reached by climbing a short flight of stairs) and a lower viewing platform. Both offer essentially the same panoramic views, so visitors can choose whichever is more convenient.
As with most viewpoints in the Nilgiris, the experience depends heavily on weather conditions. On a clear day, the views are spectacular; on cloudy or foggy days, visibility can be significantly reduced.
The watch tower provides sweeping views of the surrounding hills, valleys, and forests. On clear days, visitors can also spot the distant Catherine Falls, one of the region's most recognizable landmarks.
When the weather cooperates, the scenery is truly breathtaking. Layers of mountains stretch into the horizon, lush green valleys unfold below, and the distant waterfall adds to the charm of the landscape.
Despite the parking challenges, the stunning views make this a worthwhile stop for anyone exploring the Coonoor region, particularly on a clear day.

观景台本身景色优美,但停车体验却不尽如人意。车辆都停在路边,找到合适的停车位相当困难,尤其是在高峰时段。每辆四轮车需缴纳100卢比的停车费(仅限现金),但几乎没有任何停车指导或帮助,这让人感到十分沮丧。
成人门票为40卢比。
观景台设有上层观景平台(需攀登一小段台阶才能到达的瞭望塔)和下层观景平台。两个平台提供的全景视野基本相同,游客可以根据自身情况选择。
与尼尔吉里山脉的大多数观景台一样,观景体验很大程度上取决于天气状况。晴朗的日子里,景色壮丽;阴天或雾天,能见度会显著降低。
从瞭望塔上可以饱览周围群山、山谷和森林的壮丽景色。晴朗的日子里,游客还能远眺凯瑟琳瀑布,它是该地区最著名的地标之一。
天气晴好时,景色更是美得令人窒息。层峦叠嶂绵延至天际,郁郁葱葱的山谷在脚下缓缓展开,远处的瀑布更添几分迷人风光。
尽管停车有些困难,但这里令人叹为观止的美景,尤其是在晴朗的日子里,绝对值得一游,是探索库努尔地区的理想去处。
