Ooty

In the middle of the month of June we had taken a bus from Bangalore at 10 P.M. and reached Ooty at 10:30 A.M. the next morning in what was going to be one of the most amazing trips to South India till now.

I woke up at around 5 A.M. and was completely mesmerized by the scenic beauty of the road to Ooty via the Hilly regions of Nilgiris.

After reaching our stay at "Sagar Holiday Resort", we had a heavy breakfast and left for the day to explore Ooty.

We had a wonderful early morning start of this tour and enjoyed our day in Pykara waterfall and Lake. Later in the day we reached Pine Forest, the most awesome and amazing experience of Pykara. At the end we touched Madumalai wild life sanctuary and were lucky enough to see wildlife in all its raw beauty. It was kind of an adventure when we saw a big family of bears while crossing the road, a couple of elephants, also bison and many more. By the time it was sunset, we were at a very peaceful and scenic place in forest :)

  

Next day we got a chance to enjoy the Nilgiri mountain railways from Ooty to Coonoor.

This railway track goes through the Nilgiri forest and mountains and we enjoyed awesome valley views from train. Also visited green valley of Ooty (Dolphins nose) and beautiful SIM's park. We had taken a move to the famous and awesome botanical garden and tea gardens after lunch.

Ooty is one of the most beautiful places to visit in South India and has rightly earned its fame among tourists.
