Where and when to find the best light, angles, and locations for breathtaking mountain photography.
The Nilgiris is a photographer's dream, but the light changes rapidly. For dramatic, moody landscapes, shoot the Pine Forests during the golden hour. For astrophotography and clear sunrises, winter mornings at Kodanad Viewpoint are unbeatable. Always carry a polarizing filter to cut through the mountain haze.
