Even the most beautiful lines, the most effective words and the most impactful poems can’t do justice, when describing the beauty of this small hill station. Ooty is a place that will surely steal your heart away; its magnificent beauty will never let you leave the place. The tea, the aromatic oil, the cheese, the handmade chocolates, these are something that you can take back with you along with the beautiful experience this place has to offer.

Also known as Udhagamandalam and sometimes Ootacamund, the hill station of Ooty lies near the Nilgiris in Tamil Nadu ‘The blue mountains’ are the major responsible factor for this town’s popularity. Ooty was my first southern hill station experience and I was awed by the beauty. The green was also so green that my eyes still have the look and feel in them. The noise here is low, the population is also low, the hustle bustle is low too and the only thing that will be high is your spirits and enthusiasm. Located far from the city clamour, Ooty dwells a pleasant climate throughout the year that attracts leisure tourists as well.

Located on the slopes of the Doddabetta peak this is one location very often used by bolywood films, if you visit the place you will feel as if on the sets of “Maine Pyaar kiya”. Spread over acres of land, the greenery is in abundance here.
