Shopping Delights

Tea, tea and more! And this is just one of the many things you could get your hand on! Surprised? Don't be! Coonoor features great shopping and has a number of well-known shops where you can buy South Indian artifacts. Exquisite house-hold linen and South Cotton fabrics are extremely popular. Deep inside the Singara Tea Estates is Needlecraft, a shop that sells beautiful linen. Fine Things is an exquisite boutique that houses a fine selection of Coimbatore, Mangalgiri and other Southern linens. There are embroidered shawls, jackets and ethnic stuff you would like to take home as are local handicrafts, eucalyptus oil, honey, lace-work and others to choose from. A must buy - Toda Jewellery made by the Toda tribe. And best of them all - get your hands on locally made produce of nectars and jams of peach, pear, mulberry and passion fruit, all made and available locally!
