Ooty, which is actually named Udhagamandalam, is the capital of the province of Nilgiris, in Tamil Nadu. The city serves as a vacation spot for many Indians who come to enjoy the cool climate of the surrounding area.
A Tamil Nadu mountain station established at the beginning of the 19th Century by British colonists and surrounded by tea plantations, Ooty has stunning scenery that's perfect for walks.
My suggestion
Sit down to a cup of tea in the restaurant/cafe with an English garden - a trip back in time guaranteed!
