Go Chaiyya Chaiyya On The Nilgiri Mountain Rail And Take A Spellbinding Ride Through The Hills

Yes, this is the place where the iconic music video *Chaiyya Chaiyya* from the movie Dil Se was filmed, on top of the Ooty train (the Nilgiri Mountain Railway) in the mountainous Tamil Nadu *starry eyes*!

Train Of Thought | The Nilgiri Mountain Railway journeys through numerous tunnels and tea estates offering a panoramic view of the hills and has been doing so since 1899. *woah*! Being a prized possession, it connects Ooty to Mettupalayam at the foot of the Nilgiris, making it a major tourist spot. 

A part of the UNESCO world heritage site, the Nilgiri Mountain Railway is an epitome of the British Raj.The construction began in the colonial era highlighting the aesthetic beauty of the Railway running amidst the silence of the blue forest, dark tunnels and deep gorges. 

With its 46 km long track, passing over 250 bridges, through 16 winding tunnels with brooks and the abyss running along, it keeps the passengers at the edge of their seats and promises a remarkable journey!

So hop on and have you own *Chaiyya Chaiyya* moment!
