Instant Pictures -(Studio) — Attraction in Tamil Nadu

High Charges, filthy, garbage strewn, tourist trap place : better to avoid..free alternatives available-

Harassment by local stff - Avoidable place, we visited this place in october 2022 in car with family and it was an avoidable experience. Based on this experience we skipped lambs rock ( lamps rock) view point too.

Cons: Congested parking places ( but managed by staff as much as possible) but expect difficulties and minor issues. Harassment and illegally extra parking charges - rs. 50 per whiteboard car ..only rs. 20 for yellow board cars. Unofficial staff employed by local municipal politicians control the place. But the parking receipt is just a local,unofficial bit notice print without date and time or any detils. No notice board on the point of parking fee collection. They collect fee by stopping cars on middle of the road before 1 km itself. They don't show any notice, circular, board or any offical information or license for parking fee collected. They harass tourists if asked to show info. The board at the dolphins nose is also just a simple flex print without details.

The entry cost for going into the view point for adult approx rs. 50 for adult and rs.30 for child. Camera rs.30 per camera. Very costly.

Zero maintenance ..the place is not at all maintained. All plastic covers thrown in and around, coco cola, pepsi cool drink cans, cool drink bottles, alcohol bottles thrown in the view point. No cleaning of the spot done by officials.

View is good but not worth the 200 rs minimum cost for a family of 3.

If you are going as a large group, family easily the cost will cross thousands. Not worth it.

One can easily park your car on the road side and enjoy peaceful, clear views from numerous roadside points on the way.

The usual bad feeling of being ripped off engulfs you after you visit the place. Better to enjoy mother nature free of cost from various free road side spots.

Expect heavy traffic and 20 min to 40 mins stoppages on the way ( one way) on holidays. Based on these points and advise from tea shop owners we skipped the nearby lambs rock, lamps rock view point also in coonoor. Not suitable for large families, groups.

Only suitable if you go by bike, two wheelers. Indian tourist spots should understand the difference between tourist based economy and tourist...

The beauty of the Nilgiris... Just green everywhere!!

It takes half n hour to reach dolphin's nose from coonoor town, but you'll stop at atleast three, four places for admiring the green covered hilltops and for taking pics around them. It's all tea estates although the way, you can go inside the estates and take pics if you're a photo enthusiast.

If you are here just after monsoon, you'll have the blessing of enjoying the beauty of mist covered green hilltops. And the silence of nature, will take all your mind and heart to a peaceful heaven.

But once you reach your destination, the dolphin's nose view point, you see a place full of petty shops selling oils, chocolates herbs etc. This area isn't maintained neat, just a dirty market place.

Reach the tip of the view point and see the waterfalls at distance. You can still hear the roar of the falls, this place is that silent n peaceful. Come on a off season time if you wanna enjoy the real beauty and if you want to avoid the crown and the dirty shops.

Overall, a pleasant drive and superb nature except for the...

Experience the clouds, feel yourself enjoying in the misty mountains and tea plantations. A sightseeing point giving beautiful views of the valley.

Beware of the monkeys , they may snatch your foods.

View is beautiful from here. Parking space is not enough to manage the crowd. If planning to go in season plan for early visit will save lot of time waiting in traffic or for parking. On the way to this place there are lot of spots to get beautiful valley view as well as small waterfalls.

In the monsoons, you'll be able to see a decent number of waterfalls, unfortunately we visited in summer. almost always covered in fog which makes it hard to see anything.

Nice view point nestled among tea gardens in coonoor...not a whole lot to do.. But enjoy a few views from the...
