Compact hill-top park centered on the Nilgiri Mountain Railway's toy train — great for photographing vintage steam/diesel engines, brightly painted coaches, station architecture and candid family scenes against Ooty's tea-clad slopes. Best light is golden hour (sunrise or late afternoon) for warm highlights on metal and misty valley backdrops. Weekdays and early mornings are quieter; check train schedules and ticket/ride timings in advance. Park is easily reachable from Ooty town with nearby pay
