Ooty: The Queen of Hill Stations

Ooty is nestled in the Nilgiri Hills in Tamil Nadu. Nilgiri literally translates to “blue mountain”. The blue Kurunji flower blooms once in twelve years and dyes the mountain slopes blue lending the name. Just book yourself an Ooty tour package during the bloom and soak in the blissful sight.

Tall mountains, lush green valleys, beautiful gardens, picturesque sunsets and a moderate climate make Ooty the queen of hill stations. Fascinating cottages and other British era colonial buildings lend an old world charm to the place.

Perfect Honeymoon Destination

Pleasant summers, refreshing monsoon showers and cool winters, Ooty is a welcome break anytime of the year, especially for a couple. Lakes, waterfalls, gardens, mountain peaks and forest reserves are the major attractions here. An Ooty tour package for couple will let you spend some romantic time together. A ride on the Nilgiri Mountain Railway or the Ooty Toy Train lets you experience the full glory of the Nilgiri Hills.

The Must-visit Water Falls and Lakes

The serene ambience and natural beauty draw couples to the Ooty Lake. Enjoy boating in the lake or a romantic bicycle ride around the lake with your beloved.  Surrounded with lush green and aromatic tea estates, the scenic beauty of the Emerald Dam and Lake will remain embedded in your memory, especially the amazing sunrise and sunset.

The silvery double cascading Catherine Falls have a rustic charm. Trek together or go on a romantic drive through the scenic roads to reach the waterfall.

The Avalanche Lake is surrounded by a variety of flowers and lots of greenery where you can fish, trek, watch birds and/or camp overnight to bond together.

Pykara is a scenic village about 19 km. away from Ooty with a river, falls and pine tree surroundings that allows boating and trekking for couples.
