about me

Hi, I am Liya!! I first traveled the globe when I was four months old when we immigrated to the United States from Indonesia, and I have been roaming the world every chance I get ever since. I've been to 15 countries and counting. I am passionate about experiencing new cultures and sharing my adventures with others. I believe that travel is the best education, and I am excited to continue learning and sharing these adventures with you.

Dolphin's Nose in Coonoor

An amazing viewpoint of the high rise hills of Nilgiri in Dolphin’s Nose, located a short distance from the main Coonoor city. The peak offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. The nose can be reached by a short ride which is appealing to the skies. This mesmerizing location will always be etched in your memory.

The destination gets its name from the high end of the cliff protruding out into the thin air, resembling the shape of the nose of a dolphin. You can get breath taking views of the stunning Catherine Falls from here. Along with this, also enjoy wonderful views of the row by row tea plantations, a pleasing sight. The place is certainly worth a visit for those seeking some fresh and unpolluted air.
