Unsung Attractions Add Charm To The Nilgiris

The queen of South Indias hills!

- Sripriya Satish

Which destination pops up in your mind’s eye by the very mention of the name Nilgiris? It must be either Ooty or Conoor which is, of course, the most sought-after tourist spot. But, do you know that there are also some offbeat attractions in the queen of hills which are really mind-blowing? Our recent trip to these intoxicating locations was truly an unforgettable one. Allow me to take you through a quick virtual tour across the unsung attractions cozily nestled in these majestic hills.

As residents of Bengaluru, we chose to take the road trip via the Coimbatore- Salem route. When we entered the winding path of the hills after a long journey through the plains, we were greeted with a whiff of fresh eucalyptus scent which was extremely rejuvenating. We decided to explore the offbeat locations, skipping the more famous ones. The first on our list was the Emerald dam.
