Ooty, charm of the Nilgiris, is one of the most beautiful hill stations in south India. Situated within the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve in the Western Ghat mountain ranges, both Ooty and Coonoor are almost replica of each other. Verdant hills and valleys, lush green forests, beautiful tea estates, small waterfalls and lakes abound. Here is an article on my Ooty – Coonoor experience.
Mountain trekking is always a difficult and time-consuming proposition. But the rewards are great, especially if you are a nature lover. You get the best views of the place, and of course, the excitement of an adventure to go with.

Trips like this make us reaffirm our believe that travel is the essence of life.

Mussoorie has everything that one looks for in a hill station- amazing views, entertainment options and great food. Hill stations have a special charm in the rainy season. The clouds, rain soaked pine trees all around, an all-the-more green look of the hills…it was so charming! Mussoorie will always have a special place in my heart.
