After Darjeeling and Shimla, our most favorite Indian mountain railway is the Nilgiri Mountain Railway. It was started in the year 1908 and is a meter gauge single line track. Head off for a mesmerizing railway journey as you board on the Ooty to Coonoor Toy Train. The almost nostalgic toy train gives visitors a revitalizing travel experience moving through lush green tea estates, thick forests, tall eucalyptus trees and lofty mountains. The short ride of 3 hours takes you through an enlivening excursion where you get immersed in the beauty of the quaint place. Meandering through tunnels and crossing the bridges the journey trails you back in time. Ooty is a hilly paradise surrounded by breathtaking forests, lakes, gardens and waterfalls. The mountain railway ride weaving through beautiful valleys, serene lakes and rolling hills makes your trip to the most popular hill station more enticing.
