Planning to go on holiday, it is time to head to Nilgiris District in Tamil Nadu, the majestic blue mountains of India

Sprawling across undulating mountains of Southern India, the Nilgiri Hills is considered the epitome of nature’s sheer beauty and diversity. The region forms part of the formidable Western Ghats, which cover 6 Indian states through a colossal 1,600 kilometres mountain range. Nilgiris, translated to English means ‘Blue Mountains’, credited to two unique characteristics of the range; the azure haze that envelopes the mountains, offering enchanting views, and the beautiful blue Kurinji flowers that paint the hills a special shade of blue each time they bloom.

But the breathtaking views are simply the cherry on top of the cake. The Nilgiris has a little something for everyone.
