The year, month by month
What each month on the plateau is like — the two monsoons, the frost season, the fire season, and the two months that bring eight lakh visitors.
Frost on the ground tonight
How cold the ground itself gets each night this week, at the town's own altitude — because up here the air stays above freezing while the soil surface does not.
Was there frost this morning?
Growers and neighbours say what they saw on the ground at first light — Race Course, Thalaikundha, Kandal and more — beside the frost forecast.
The e-pass, and what happens at the barrier
What you need to drive into the Nilgiris, who is exempt, where you are stopped, and what plastic gets taken off you at the barrier.
