Discover Ooty Holidays

Nestled in the Nilgiri Mountain range, known as the 'Blue Mountains' in the Western Ghats, Ooty treats visitors to spectacular scenic views. Here lush greenery is dotted with tea plantations that have been producing tea for generations. Once a British Raj weekend retreat, this hill station also served as the summer resort for the Madras Presidency offering cooling relief during the hotter months.

A picturesque paradise, one of Ooty's most popular sights is the Government Botanical Gardens. Nature lovers can discover exotic species as they wander amongst the flora and the fauna set over around 22 hectares. Travel up Doddabetta Peak for amazing panoramic vistas, visit a tea factory and take a trip on the Nilgiri Mounrain Railway. Affectionately called the Ooty 'Toy Train' by locals and holding World Heritage Site status, enjoy boarding this steam locomotive for a memorable journey through dense forests and up the steepest track in Asia.
