This place is indeed the most sought after tourist place in the country. This place is known as the QUEEN OF HILLS because this was the Britishers favourite summer spot. The original name of this place is UDHAGAMANDALAM and its situated on the NILGIRIs which means blue mountains.

Ooty is situated in the heart of the Nilgiris mountains at an altitude of about 2500 mts above sea level. This place has a very pleasant climate throughout the year with mercury swinging between 10 and 25 degrees celcius all round the year. The ideal time to visit this place is april to june and september to november. The only thing which is not to be forgotten while touring this place is warm clothes.
The best part of the tour to this place is the Mountain train from mettupalayam to the hill top. This journey is a remarkable one as it crosses hundreds of bridges and several tunnels on its way. This train ride is rated as the best coz it gives a complete insight of the mountain scenary of this place. 1000's of water springs and falls mark the way of this journey, and makes it one of the most pleasant ones. Have a look...














This ride dot marks all the great scenaric views of this place.The lake of ooty needs special words of description. The whole trip to this place becomes worthless if one fails to have a boat ride in this fantastic lake. Its an artificially made up lake by damming the streams flowing through. Near the lake is the childrens park and the deer park for activities. Altogether this place is a perfect combination of beauty and amazing crowd which makes it a must tour destination. Have a look of some of the lake's fantasies....
The general places to visit in Ooty include the Botanical garden, The Pykara falls, The Rose garden, Dodabetta peak, etc. But the main catch of this place is the lake and the scenaries encountered in the mountain railway journey. If you are a true nature lover then like in the Kodaikanal post and the munnar post, hire a cab and tell the cabby to take you a place filled with nature and scenary. He ll take you to places outside, which i think
is the ultimate tourist attracting

spot.



The main catch of this place is the sprawling tea gardens. The major income source of this place has flourished beauty into this place. The tea gardens cover all the crevices of the mountains and give it a breath taking look. The tea gardens dazzle with sunlight in the morning, and the flomboyant taste of tea in this place cannot be obtained anywhere else in the world. Ooty is also famous for its home made chocolates and handicrafts.

This place definitely make India a paradise.
