Awesome, must visit place in the summer If you’re going with your car they you’ve to be a expert driver because driving in Ooty is very difficult job as it’s roads are covered by lot of hair pin covers . By the way rose garden is not of worth of visit . If you go boating then don’t touch the water there because it is fully poisoned .

It's our first trip to Ooty. though it is was more cold here. You are still going to enjoy here. Some of the pictures captured are mentioned below try to have a look. Ooty gardens, tea plantations, chocolate are more famous. Shooting point, is more crowdy.

Over rated. Those driving with non TN number plates and having a non TN issued Driving licence, be aware that you cant take the car from ooty to mysuru thru masinagudi section. And the police wont explain which alternative route you can take. I don't even know if the rule violates ministry of road transport rules. They really don't care for travellers at all.

Ooty is a nice place to enjoy for honeymoon couples. I went to Ooty in the month of September. Eventhough the time is rainy season, fortunately my trip went without any rain. We get down at Mettupalayam from Chennai by Nilgiri Express. From there we got a steam train, which went through so many beatiful natural scenes, whhcih can't forget in my life time. That much greenary it is because of rainy season. So many Waterfalls on the way. The train will stop in some stations in between to enjoy the nature. Every one can get down and have a nice breeze near by waterfalls. Finally we arrived in Ooty by that steam train. After that we have reached a Form House Inside in the outskirts i.e. inside the Nilgiri Hills. Where they are providing Accommadation with food and also transportation for trips nearby. First time i experienced the snow fall inside that hills which i never seen before. Ofcourse until 9 o'clock we can't come out of the room because of cold. After that around 11, we have started and visited near by beatiful and natural forests where u only be there.

Came here at the end of August, so it was a bit more rushed than the normal off-season, due to Onam. Stayed for 1 day and 2 nights and had a car with me and family, so we had the luxury to explore all the things we could and want in our own time. You can find plenty of recommendations online, so I am not gonna repeat them again, but you can visit most of the popular choices in 1 day, if you plan accordingly. (Friendly reminder - carefully while visiting 'Benchmark Tea and Chocolate Factory'. The amount of money you can potentially spend there is kinda absurd!!)

Awesome Ooty anytime hangout place cool breeze and chill
