Situated 2200m above sea level, the entrance road is flanked by dense cypress trees. A hotspot for birds such as the Nilgiri Laughingthrush, Nilgiri Blue Robin, White-bellied Shortwing, Black-and-Rufous, Rusty-tailed and Nilgiri Flycatchers, Cairn Hill is situated about 3km on the road to Avalanche. A perfect place for birders, this trail had unusually weak participation. Guided by Mr Bhoopathy from Kotagiri, participants met at the Bee Museum where they were briefed about the history of Cairn hill and its teeming bird life. This was followed by a 3 hour walk through the deciduous forest.
