Enveloped in the lushness of the Nilgiris, Ooty—Queen of the Hills, is a celebrated tourist hub known for its exotic tea plantations, charming colonial abodes and scenic nature vistas.
To soak in the vibe of this hill station, ride on the Nilgiri Mountain Toy Train, trek to the Doddabetta peak, juggle museum tours and garden visits, and enjoy boat rides on Lake Pykara. The gorgeous panorama from the Dolphin’s Nose viewpoint and the cascading Catherine Waterfalls are a nature lover’s delight and a must-visit. Oh! Do not miss stocking up on woollens and home-made chocolates at Ooty’s Main Bazaar when here.
