Default Ooty- The green and cold City of south India

Went to Ooty for the college tour last week. Enjoyed a lot, very nice and cool place. Visited almost all places there incl. Doddabetta Peak, Ketti Valley, Pykara Lake and Pykara falls, Botanical Gardens , Tea gardens and Tea Estate, etc... Also visited Coonoor on the way to Ooty. Overall Ooty a pretty good place except for the roads which were horrible.

About Ooty:

Ootacamund is a popular hill station located in the Nilgiri Hills. The origin of the name Ootacamund is obscure, but "mund" is the Badaga word for a Toda village, and it is probably a corruption of the Badaga name for the central region of the Nilgiri Plateau.Another likely origin of the stem of the name ("Ootaca") comes from the local language Tamil where "Otta-Cal" literally means "Single Stone". This is perhaps a reference to a sacred stone revered by the local Toda people. Udhagamandalam is a more recent official Tamil name for the town. Ooty stands at an approximate height of 7,440 feet (2,268 metres) above sea level
