Date: 22nd October 2025
Route: Ooty → Coonoor → Ooty
The day began with a magical mountain mood — rainy, cloudy, and refreshingly cool. The mist rolled down the hills like soft white cotton, creating the perfect backdrop for a day of exploration and fun.
🚞 Morning Excitement: The Toy Train Ride
Today’s highlight was something we’d all been eagerly waiting for — the Ooty to Coonoor Toy Train! 🎟️ We had pre-booked our tickets to avoid the rush, and as we boarded the charming blue-and-cream train, excitement filled the air — especially among the kids!
The toy train chugged slowly through tunnels, tea gardens, and misty forests, offering breathtaking views of the Nilgiris. The rhythmic sound of the engine, the cool wind through the windows, and the fresh smell of rain-soaked earth made it a truly unforgettable journey.
🌫️ Exploring Coonoor in the Mist
Upon reaching Coonoor, the weather turned even more mystical — light rain and thick fog covered the hills, making everything look dreamy. We visited the famous Dolphin’s Nose and Lamb’s Rock, but the heavy fog hid the valley views. Still, the experience was serene — standing above the clouds, surrounded by pure nature’s calm.
🍃 Tea Estates & Scenic Moments
On our way back, we stopped for some beautiful photography in the tea estates. The lush green rows of tea plants looked picture-perfect, and we couldn’t resist clicking a few family photos and fun videos amidst the foggy landscape. 📸
🌺 Evening at Sim’s Park
By evening, we reached Sim’s Park, Coonoor’s beautiful botanical garden filled with colorful flowers and unique plants. We had a fun time walking through the pathways, making reels and photos, laughing, and simply enjoying the moment together.
🌙 Back to Ooty – Dinner & Memories
As dusk fell, we returned to our Casa De Damor Villa in Ooty. The drive back through the misty forest felt calm and magical. That night, we shared a delicious dinner, reliving the day’s highlights and treasuring the memories we’d made.
Coonoor had shown us nature in its raw, foggy beauty — and even without clear views, the day was filled with warmth, laughter, and togetherness. ❤️
