Ooty nestles in an amphitheatre created by four majestic hills: Dodabetta, Snow don, Elk hill, and Club Hill. These hills are a part of the Nilgiri ranges that are really the meeting point for the Western and the Eastern Ghats.
The lush green serenity of these southern hills of India would be difficult to find anywhere else. For a summer of peace and uncluttered, cool days is what Ooty offers, with their resonant echoes of a rich and tangible Dravidian culture. Here are some of the well known tourist attractions in Ooty.
Have you ever wondered why the name ‘BlueMountain’ is used? Well, when the lavender-blue flowers of the famous Strobilanthes cover the hills in floral profusion, it would be time to stop wondering, for it is these funnel-shaped blossoms that are the reason for the name. Anywhere you go around, the serenity of the Nilgiris will be around you. Especially the strategic points from where one could either see Ooty or the view all around, like Dodabetta.
