Udhagamandalam (Ooty), the "Queen
of hill stations" is the capital of Nilgiri district. It is one of the
Best tourist resorts
 and is called as "Blue Mountains". It is a land of
dreams and a picturesque hill station. It is situated at a distance of
105 km away from Coimbatore. The height of the hills in the Nilgiri
range varies between 2280 and 2290 meters, the highest peak being Doddabetta at a height of 2623 meters.
This famous hill station is at the junction of Tamil Nadu, Kerala and
Karnataka, three southern states of India. British founded this hill
resort which seemed them as their summer headquarters. Before that time,
the area was inhabited by Todas. These tribal people still inhabit the
area, but only around 3000 remain.
What was once a getaway from the steamy summers of the plains for the
British elite of the Madras Presidency is now a hill station that caters
to weekend holidaymakers from all over the South of India and
honeymooners from across the country.
