We went to Ooty by flight, there is no direct flight to Ooty as it is a hill station so we need to get down at Mettupalayam which is around 30 km I guess I don’t remember exact distance, I have given around 600Rs to drive me from there to nearby “Black thunder resort” it’s a wonderful resort to stay you will not forget that place one’s you visit such a nice hospitality and friendly environment though its expensive around $60 (as per Indian standards) this resort is a must to visit, and main thing Is no one expecting to grab money from you as they do in Agra. Next day morning we catch the famous ‘Toy Train’ its good to see for around 60km you will have to sit in the train for atleast 5 hours to reach top, guess what train moves only 15km per hour like you are in a boat, first 2 hours you will be excited seeing the views and greenery and slowly you will be seeing the same all over to top which will make you feel bore, of course you can’t sit and see same thing for 5 hours. Remember this point that while going on train you will see such a great construction on top of hills it’s a hotel “sagar resorts” while in train we were thinking it will be expensive but let’s stay there.

After reaching top we were thinking how to communicate with locals huh you can’t believe the way they speak Hindi so fast as if its their mother tongue and clearly you can understand that’s the only place I can say in south India fluent Hindi speakers are there I guess and almost 90% of them speak Hindi first I have hired a taxi who said its only Rs 30 to go to hotel he will be having a very good picture album for hotel one’s he take you to that hotel 100% you will not like it they construct in a good place but they don’t maintain it properly the same problem for all Indians. So we rejected that hotel and went to a resort “sagar resort” it has such a great view but the again the same hotel is not maintained luckily its non season so the room rents are halved so we stayed there only for view, rooms are ok not bad. We have taken an auto and went to see Ooty town which is not too big it’s very clean better than TajMahal site J … Auto is very cheap and in nights believe it’s very cold you can’t stay without sweater.

Next day we hired a car for whole day which is very less Rs 750 he will take you to few places around Ooty, like tea production plants and tea estates and you can purchase good tea and some oils which will help you in some body pains I think they work though I am not sure, we went to boating which is a artificial lake but after coming out of that boating there will be some shops which sell magic shows and other things no need to buy there as they are expensive may be you can bargain good then go ahead. By evening 5 pm we were back to resort. Then back to Hyderabad the next day.

Have a wonderful visit to Ooty where there are no cheaters and you can spend more days but there are no places to visit except just to sit at hotel and enjoy the view and climate.
