Hi All
I’m TEJAS and I would love to share my experience and pictures of South India’s best place called Queen of Hill Stations Ooty.
Here’s a small introduction of Ooty:
Ooty or Udhagamandalam, the capital of Nilgiri district, is popularly known as the "Queen of hill stations’ among the tourist circuits. Situated at a distance of 105 km away from Coimbatore, Ooty is a lovely place with lofty mountains, dense forest, sprawling grasslands and miles of tea gardens. Situated at an altitude of 2,240 m above sea level, Ooty is a land of picturesque picnic spots.
An added attraction for the tourists to Ooty / Udagamandalam is the mountain train journey, which commences from Kallar, near Mettupalayam and wends its way through many hair-raising curves and fearful tunnels and chugs along beside deep ravines full of verdant vegetation, gurgling streams and tea gardens.
One can notice a marvellous change in vegetation, as one goes from Kallar to Coonoor. The establishment of numerous tea estates made Ooty famous. Lofty mountains, dense forest, sprawling grasslands and miles and miles of tea gardens greet the passengers on most routes. The annual Tea and Tourism Festival attracts crowds in huge numbers.
Major Attractions of Udagamandalam are:
- Botanical Garden
- Government Museum
- Hills and Views
- Kalhatty Falls
- Kandal Cross Shrine
- Mini Garden and Rose Garden
- Mudumalai Wildlife Sanctuary and National Park.
- Ooty Lake
I have been to Ooty with my friends a couple of months ago and saw the Nature at its best and I forgot myself over there. This is my most memorable place ever in my life. I would like to share some of my photos of Ooty.
