One thing that promises to be a highlight of your visit to Ooty is the Nilgiri Mountain Railway experience. If you are travelling from Mettupalayam to Ooty, go for the Ooty Mountain Railway, rather than any other mode of transport. More commonly known as the Ooty Toy train, the experience you get here is really out of the world.
The Nilgiri Mountain Railway is the only mountain railway that operates on a daily basis in South India. The train runs one to and fro journey every day and the frequency increases during peak summer, to accommodate the heavy inflow of tourists. The train runs from Mettupalayam to Ooty via Coonoor.
The track is a total of 46 kilometers and runs completely through the picturesque Nilgiri Mountains and the journey is worth the time spent in the train. You get both first class and second class tickets and if you are a person who loves some quiet and calm, go for the first class tickets and enjoy the mountains and the beautiful scenery that whisks past you in the train.
Initially the mountain train was pulled by a steam locomotive, but now this is sometimes replaced by a diesel one to give the train more pull. The carriages have always remained the same blue and cream color and it is easily recognized from many South Indian movies.
The Nilgiri train timetable currently says that the train leaves at 07:10 hours and reaches Ooty by 11:55 hours, and the return journey from Ooty starts at about 14:00 hrs and reaches Mettupalayam by about 17:30 hrs. Do confirm this before you leave.
