NMR has one at Conoor station. Conoor is a terminus station. Trains going from MTP to Ooty, will enter Conoor station, reverse, and ascend to a line that runs on a higher level just beside the station, and proceed ahead.
The NMR does not need zigzags for most of the route. This is because it uses a rack-and-pinion system to handle steep grades (NMR has 1 in 12.5 grades, which are the steepest in the country, while DHR has much less steeper gradients), so it does not require reversing stations. The MTP-Conoor stretch is a rack and pinion system.
