Go/come back from conoor by toy train. You will see some picturesque views and get the change to scream with passengers in the dark tunnels (the light go on, so don't think of getting naughty) - you have to reach the counter at 7:30 if you want a seat in the reserved compartment (just 40 seats) or the general compartment....
