Lamb's Rock and Dolphin's Nose: Breathtaking Viewpoints

The fact that they offer a breathtaking view of the hills and all the way down to the plains, combined with their interesting names, has made these viewpoints spots of great tourist interest. Accessed by car and onwards by foot, these viewpoints offer quite awe-inspiring sights. Lamb’s Rock is the closer viewpoint, as measured from the Coonoor marketplace. Dolphin’s Nose is situated further along the road.
Lamb’s Rock is a popular picnic spot and the view is so spectacular that, on a sunny day, one can see all the way down to Mettupalayam. Dolphin’s Nose is at a higher altitude than Lamb’s Rock but, honestly, the drive is worth the view. The view is, perhaps, even more spectacular at this point.

The area around Dolphin's Nose is also full of shops selling spices, tea and all other local products. Before we knew it, we found ourselves carrying 6-7 bags of tea! Believe it or not, we found all kinds of tea available there...masala tea, rose tea, chocolate tea, orange pekoe, ginger tea and of course, normal tea! Local herbs and medicinal products can be bought here...in fact; they can be bought anywhere in Coonoor or Ooty. Eucalyptus oil, clove oil, wintergreen oil and other products can be found in abundance, and they really prove to be beneficial as they are cures for common cold, aches and pains, earaches etc.

These spots are certainly worth a visit!
