Ooty

Ooty

A hill station, with an influx of modern development surrounding it, the old Ooty still manages to retain its charm and appeal. At an elevation of 2,333 m, Ooty makes for a great escape from the heat of the plains below. Hiking, horseback riding and rowing are the main attractions. There is also a large botanical garden on the edge of the town, and peaceful St. Stephens Church that has views out over the town. The best way to get to Ooty is on the toy train (Blue Mountain Express) from Mettupalayam, which is 40 minutes from Coimbatore.
