Udagamandalam (Ooty) in Tamil Nadu


Udagamandalam, the ‘Queen of Hills’ perched at an altitude of 7,500 feet, amidst the verdant Nilgiris of Blue Mountains was first discovered in 1819, by John Sullivan, the then collector of Coimbatore. The ambient beauty of Ooty, the most popular hill station of the South, lies in its peaceful ranges surrounded by a misty blue haze. The colonial legacy of this British developed hill resort is still reflected in its terraced Botanical Garden, private schools, Ooty club and churches.
