Outstanding Ooty

Situated amidst the magnificent Nilgiri Hills, mesmerizing tea plantations, and serene waterfalls, Ooty is a pleasant respite from the hot humid sun. The place is heavenly with coolness in the air and soothing old-world colonial architecture to appease the sight.

    We were in Wellington in the year 2014-15. And we would drive down to Ooty almost every fifteen days. Loved it so much. You revived old memories.

    Ooty is such a beautiful hill station. Somehow it’s charm is getting lost due to rabid consumerism these days. Toy train ride is something I missed both the times.

    I lived in Mysore for 5 years. Ooty used to be our frequent weekend destination. Though I feel Ooty has become very commercialized now and I loved Coonor a little more.

    Oh, the lush green hills! Some told me the place is losing its charm due to commercialization. It made me sad; but worth visiting, just to see the hills.

      Yes, it is too congested and commercialized I guess. I thought I was overly judging the place, good to know many think so. It is still beautiful though and hope it is maintained and improved.
      Thankyou for reading and appreciating 😊
