2025 Nilgiris Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

We visited a few attractions near Kotagiri but this one was spectacular!! We reached there at the time of sunset and there was view of mountains with and without shadow of other mountains. Sky colors were so beautiful and different. From this view, you could actually see a lake, a waterfall and far far mountains. Fortunately that day, there were no so many clouds and actually the view was clear. Based on the location of this viewpoint, I think sunrise would be more specular. But ya sunset has its own charm and the route to this point is beautiful in itself. It was so peaceful n green surrounded by kodanad tea estate. A must visit spectacular place near Kotagiri in Nilgiris. #spooktaculartrip #southindia #kotagiri #tamilnadu #incredibleindia

Ooty, the top touristic hill station in South India has become so commercial these days. But got a chance to go into interior places with a local (in his old 1985 Mahindra Jeep). A green that couldn’t be erased from my brain for ever…
