Experiential journeys will make you a storyteller
About Nilgiris

Nilgiris or the ‘Blue Mountains’ have always caught the fancy of travellers who love the raw undulated beauty of nature. The blue-tinted mountain ranges, a part of the Western Ghats ranges, are famous for their exotic flora, waterfalls, wildlife, streams, and beautiful nature trails. The mist-covered valleys and miles of forests lend the Nilgiris an out of the world charm unlike any place in the country making it one of the places to visit in Tamil Nadu.

One of the most popular attractions here is the Doddabetta Peak, which is the highest peak in the region. Visit the Telescope House at the summit of the peak to see the massive surrounding Shola forests and catch a stunning hillside sunset. Don’t miss to visit Catherine Falls, the second-highest waterfall in the Nilgiris. Surrounded by lush tea plantations and forests, this fall is amongst the most beautiful waterfalls in the country.

Another great place to visit is Sim’s Park that’s popular for its unusual plants, ornamental trees, rockeries, and flowerbeds. Located in the Silent Valley National Park, Emerald Lake is one of the prettiest lakes in the region. Views of its shimmering blue-green waters surrounded by thick forests are one of the most stunning sights in the Nilgiris.

One of the best things to do in the Nilgiris is to enjoy a heritage train ride. Hop on the iconic toy train with a steam engine as it takes you on an unforgettable journey through 16 tunnels, forests, forested hilly slopes, and over 250 bridges. Another great experience is to enjoy a tea plantation trail that will take you through some of the oldest plantations in the region. The intoxicating fragrance of tea, the lush trails, and the opportunity to sample some of the best teas in the world is an experience that shouldn’t be missed.

It was the best thing that I have ever done. Hands down this is better than having a luxurious hotel stay. Firstly, it feels so much like being in home. Secondly, this is way cheaper in terms of money. Also, the bonfire at the night is all the more fun with all the co tourists gathering around. This... Read More

It was a nice and satisfactory trip after a really long time. I haven’t had a satisfactory trip in a long time and taking this was the good thing that happened to me in the recent past. It was relaxing, laid back, and good in a way. I am so happy that I chose this tour pack.

Aaaah! The cackle of the bonfire, the warmth of the logs and the laughter of the night is still echoing in my ears. Unforgettable experience.

It was the best vacation of this year. Taking a south Indian hill stations tour was something that I wanted to do. The climate here was good, the bonfires were fun, and it was just a perfect vacation.

Out of the world: Yes, staying in a typical home-like scenario near the nature is a beautiful way to spend a weekend. I really enjoyed this totally and so were my friends. There weren’t much to do except roam around in the nature and sightsee through, but it was all worth it.
