This morning we woke up pretty excited about our train journey through the mountains.

our train

going through a tunnel

loads and loads of trees

a cute little village

the scenery from the train

We had heard great reviews about it and managed to fight our way for some good seats after my seat was secured thankfully last night.

me and reggie

However, there was heavy rain last night which meant that the clouds were very low thus meaning that there was barely anything to see!

a pretty waterfall

a stream high up in the clouds

monkeys attempting to break into the train

So after all the travelling to finally take this train journey as well with all the excitement it was pretty disappointing but we did laugh about it!

Once we got off the train in Ooty there wasn’t exactly a lot to see so again we took many buses yet again before we arrived in Sulthan Bathery in our first search for a tiger!!
