During
the time of the British Raj, the English elite would
flee the hot and muggy plains of the Madras Presidency
and take sanctuary in the refreshing cool climes of Ooty,
with its expanses of undulating hills and terraced tea
gardens. Its popularity never waned and has grown to
include holidaymakers, honeymooners, myriad film units
and boarding schools. Nestled
in the Nilgiri Hills (Nilgiri literally meaning blue
mountain, accounted for by the blue mist that envelopes
the higher reaches), Ooty still exudes an undeniable
charm as locals go about their business briskly and
tourists amble |
