It was wonderful to be at Ooty on a Christmas day. Christmas goes well with the chilly climate and we enjoyed the trip to the Queen of Hills.
According to me, it is CHANGE, which makes the travel the best. I usually decide for a travel when I need a change from the recurring daily life. The craving to belong to a place which I never belonged to before, to meet people whom I never met before, to see the beauty of nature which I have never enjoyed before...

A sudden trip which was planned in less than a day and Ani, as usual came up with the PLAN list, which helped us to cover the places with ease.
Few places from the list:
- 6th Mile shooting point
- 9th mile shooting point
- Nawanagar Palace
- Lawrence School, Lovedale
- The Fern Hills Palace
- Gyngarth Villa
- Pine Forest
- Hotel Taj Savoy
- Pykara Waterfalls
- Pykara Lake
- Ooty Lake
- Botanical Garden
- WenLock Downs
- Sanctuary Avalanche
- Nilgiri Mountain Railway
From Bangalore, there was two ways to reach Ooty. The Masinagudi road & the Gudalur road.
Masinagudi route is a steep hairpin curve road, which we decided not to take that route for sure. We went through the Gudalur route, which is almost double the distance of the Masinagudi route, but gifted us with beautiful sideways and a tension free journey.
Two nights and three days, we enjoyed each and every moment of Christmas in Ooty.
