Travel desk 1 : Ooty




Well recently i was in ooty to enjoy the so called shaastra holidays! for those who dun know Shaastra is our tech-fest!! and mostly enjoyed as a bunch of holidays by ppl like me,who still able to keep themselves de-engineered even after almost 2 n a half year over here :) well i'll come to tat aspect of myself sometime! lets start off with ooty
or wat they call it as Udhamangalam :P a complete leisure for people seeking to spend a nice weekend or a couple of days! a complete beauty,just bestowing high nilgiri peaks,beautiful gardens,curvy roads which can jus take the outta ut driving skills.... lots more :) places to see :
1.lots of gardens,name it rose garden,botanical garden,sims garden and 2-3 more which i dun remem the names! all of them just beautifully maintained perfect for going and getting photographed and nothing else :P fo people like me i find nothing great in looking at so many dumb gardens being developed at a single place,when the natural of the place itself is Worth everything.. whatever,for the people of the other taste these are place must to be :)

2. viewpoints : another bunch of hilltop viewpoints!! they are the best part i liked! all of them give a magnificent view of valley! some of them have a lil trekking path before u reach the point but most of then are totally commercialised till the peak,and it just sucks! watever it's. i loved this part of my tour

3.all other chut-put spots lake and boat house (enjoy ur intimate kissing moments on a boat if u are a couple,else all gay stories :P), a wax museum,just loved it!! an artificial flower garden,totally made outta hand wovwn trees,plants and flowers,worth seeing :) hmmm,overall i was satisfied with the place,but what i didn't like,the high commercialisation!! better they would have kept the place more close to nature instead of cutting all trees,n grass n putting them into gardens :P. food at this place simply not great! u'll have to struggle to find a suitable place for u.. i'll suggest the local bakeries and the coffee day there :) homemade choclates are just awesome,and u'll find them almost everywhere,so just don't miss them,, variety of flavours and all of them are just yummyyyyy!! if i rate this place i'll put it 6/10,avg wat i think :)
did i jus forget to mention the best part of trip it's the nilgiri rail journey from ooty to metupallaiyam!! jus dun miss it :)
