The Toy Train Experience
The Nilgiri Mountain Railway, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is an engineering marvel from the British era.
The steam locomotive pushes the train up the steep gradient using a unique rack and pinion system, passing through 250 bridges and 16 tunnels.
The journey is slow, allowing you to absorb every inch of the mountains.
Coonoor Over Ooty
While Ooty is the final destination, we recommend making Coonoor your base. It is quieter, more refined, and home to some of the finest heritage colonial bungalows.
Always book the First Class carriage for better views and slightly more comfortable seating. We handle these highly sought-after reservations.
