    I have visited this cemetery recently. It is really a spine chilling experience . Whoever going to the cemetery please keep in mind that it’s not a sightseeing place . Not a family friendly or kids friendly area . So do not expect the place to be like a well maintained tourist spot . Please give respect to the place πŸ™πŸ½ Be very careful don’t go alone , I have seen some footprints and droppings of bear. And there are chance of other wild animals also . And felt like there are socially unacceptable activities are happening in that place . Do not expect that gate will be open , it is closed for ever . It’s not a public place . Keep in mind that We are all trespassers . So behave accordingly, don’t spoil the beauty of that place with plastics of other substances. Thank you πŸ™πŸ½ Respect the beautiful souls sleeping there πŸ™πŸ½

    This place is really beautiful, a must visit. There are lot of leeches so be careful of that. Many movies have been filmed here. Very photogenic place surrounded by tea estates. It is well maintained as well. Though it stays closed most of the time. If your lucky you can go inside and experience it.

    It was closed when we visited. The roads were narrow. Very secluded place. Looked haunted as no one was there. If we go little bit ahead, we can see beautiful mountains and tea estates.

    Beautiful and Very Calm Place With burial space at All Saints’ Church fast running out towards the end of the 19th century, it was decided that Coonoor should have its own Christian cemetery to supplement those at Kotagiri and Ooty. Surrounded by tea plantations, the new Tiger Hill Cemetery was opened in 1905. With its remote location amidst mist-covered hills, Tiger Hill has developed a mystical reputation and has become a destination for thrill-seeking tourists and film-makers. Unfortunately, it has also drawn in undesirables who have deliberately or unintentionally damaged the headstones, and its lush grassy areas have been equally attractive to huge lumbering gaur (Indian Bison), and even to elephants, which have wreaked even greater destruction. It is hoped that the new, higher, reinforced perimeter wall, to which BACSA have contributed support, will provide new protection for the foreseeable future. Within the cemetery there are about 500 British graves. Planters and their families predominate and there are military and government workers, as well as many connected with the railways. The Nilgiri Mountain Railway, now recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage site, and its Coonoor Station, were built soon after Tiger Hill opened; they are a draw to tourists from far and wide.

    We found the place to be closed when we reached there after navigating through the narrow roads following Google maps. Would have loved to enter but it was restricted for visitors. The place did not have proper maintenance also. Calm and peaceful surroundings.

    A quiet and isolated place. The gates remain closed every time now & then. So you will not be able to go inside. Not recommended at all for people travelling by car. The approaching road is very narrow and not properly maintained. Surrounded by a private tea garden. It will be better if properly maintained.

    This cemetery is a 2 km walk from Bedford Circle in Coonoor. The location is secluded, so it might be a nice place to drive or ride to. I saw some guys hanging around near the cemetery when I visited. I think the major attraction has to be the viewpoint which is around 200 meters from the cemetery gate. Unless you're one of those morbid people who like hanging around gravestones. The cemetery dates back to the colonial period and creates an eerie ambiance. The viewpoint gives you a glimpse of Mettupalayam below. Clouds were passing by the hill when I visited and gradually covered everything in white. I think the hills parallel to Tiger Hill are in Huligal and Burliar, so Pakkasuran Peak and Droog Fort must be somewhere there. The location is easy to reach so I think it's worth checking out.

    Very old cemetery, different kind of a feel being in there. The architecture is so good that you feel you are in some European country. Better advised to not stay after 6 as the place is really remote and would invite unwanted scare and risk.

    A small walk from the main road leads you to this beautiful place. The cementry remains closed. However the place offers beautiful views of the surrounding tea estate and the valley.

    It is 2 km away from the town. One best location. This is a cemetery. Its age is 150 years. So construction style and architecture way are different and beautiful. If tourist those who are visit here please keep this place as good. Dont throw plastic and unwanted items in to here. This is a beautiful area but beacuse of human activities it is ruining. Tourist are not allowed most of the times. So if you going there behave properly.
