Ooty is located in the Western Ghats at a height of 2240 metres, Udhagamandalam is the headquarters of the Nilgiri district. The Toda tribe has been living here since time immemorial, but the credit for 'discovering' Ooty, making it accessible and developing it, surely goes to the British.
The Nilgiri Hills or the Blue Mountains is a captivating terrain where the incredibly beautiful abode of Udhagamandalam is perched at an altitude of 2286 m. Otherwise referred to as Ooty, it is known as the Queen of Hill Stations. Famed for its salubrious climate, pretty gardens and fabulous cottages, Udhagamandalam is great for a break when monotony strikes.
