Ooty Experience: It is one of the best places to visit with greenery around. One feels like he is out of the world looking at the Nature's beauty. The fresh tea garden's, the wonderful scenaries around. Huge big trees, the cool breeze blowing. You don't feel like leaving that place. It is no doubt a best place to visit. The best part is you dont find an A/c or a Fan in Ooty because you dont need one.
Food, sight-seeing and shopping: Food is good. The Rose Garden, Botanical Gardens, Tea Gardens, and the boating point where the song 'Dil Deewana' from 'Maine Pyar Kiya' was shooted. Many other movies have been shooted there. Do not miss out on the Tea Factories. Home made chocolates are again one of the best things to buy along with the fresh tea.
Activities & things to do: Boating - which is unlike any other boating. One has to self drive the boat which is again your preference whether you want to row it or pedal it. Site seeing, Excellent view points. The Wax museum is another place to visit.
Travel tips, How to reach, travel warnings etc: One can either go by a bus or a private vehicle. You can enjoy the ghat road drive if you like adventures. there are 36 'Slide' or 'Safety PIN' Turns which really turn one mad. Every turn gets exciting and at the end of the 36th turn you are 2000kms above the sea level. Be watchful with the children and do not disturb the driver during this drive of about an hour or 1 and a half hours.
