The tourism department of Tamil Nadu has opened up ten trekking routes in the Nilgiris. Until now these regions were not accessible to the general public and required a permit to get in. The walks have been rated in three categories : easy, moderate and tough and the distances of the walks range from 3 kms to 20 kms.
At Tranquilitea we have always curated walks for our guests that help understand the environment of the Nilgiris, its people, their customs and their way of life and while we will continue to offer our bespoke walks we are happy that the state tourism department has also joined in to open up pristine patches of the Nilgiris for guests interested in exploring the region. Those interested can now log onto www.trektamilnadu.com and make a booking directly.
