There are some places that let you unwind to the deepest. There are places that make you forget all the worldly sorrows. And there are places that give a whole new meaning to your existence.
Does this sound like a fantasy? Well, thankfully, this isn’t unreal. India has gifted humankind with one such place that suffices all the above said statements - Coonoor.
