More About Coonoor HillWalker:
Coonoor Hillwalker is a Global Charity Walk organized to raise support for the education of tribal children and to build a permanent Old Age Home for the abandoned elderly.
This event is jointly organized by Kathirvel Nagammal Trust, Coonoor, Tamil Nadu, India & Omashram Trust- Old Age Care, Bangalore, Karnataka, India.
Coonoor Hillwalker is a Dream Walk with a Promise as the participating teams promise themselves to raise funds to help realize the dreams of the less fortunate sections of the society. When teams, with two members each, promise to walk 20 km within 6 hours, the WALK could also be a team sport along with being an exercise of the mind as well as igniting a spark of passion and spirits into the causes being supported…“Walking the Talk” The Walk among the mountains which is equivalent of prayers, would become a memorable one!!
