Ooty is called as queens of hills and I totally agree with it. It is such a beautiful place with greenary all around. A perfect destination for nature lovers.
Ooty has many tourist destinations. Some of which are Botanical garden, boat house, etc
Coonor and pykara are 2 beautiful places situated around 10-15 kms from ooty. Coonor is famous for tea gardens, dolphin's nose etc and pykara has some amazing view points where movies like Raja hindustani, K2h2 has been shot.
This place has many hotels and resorts where you can book your stay, they are all reasonably rated. Many veg and non-veg restaurants are also there so fooding is also not a problem.
Talking about shopping, you get very cheap jackets and woolen wear there which are of good quality.
I totally loved visiting this place, its just perfect to go chill, relax and have good time.
