Designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Website in 2005, the Nilgiri Mountain Railway is widely known for its leisurely tempo and breathtaking surroundings. Its light crawl, travelling at a leisurely 9 kilometres per hour, covers a distance of 46 kilometres in a relaxed span of 5 hours, a tempo considerably slower—nearly 16 instances—than India’s quickest trains.

The practice’s unhurried journey via the Nilgiri mountains is a deliberate consequence of the steep gradient it encounters en route. Ascending from the foothills of the Nilgiris at Mettupalayam to the elevated city of Ooty, this practice’s unhurried tempo completely matches the rugged terrains it navigates.
