Pykara isn't just a destination; it's the sacred heart of the Nilgiris. To truly experience Pykara, you need to leave early. The drive through the Wenlock Downs is spectacular when the morning frost is still on the grass. The speedboats are thrilling, but the real magic is sitting silently by the cascading waterfalls listening to the forest.
