Ooty is a busy town perched high in the northern part of the western ghats, 2000m above sea level and heaves with indian holiday makers in the hotter months and we treated it as a bit of a pitstop on our way into karnataka. We arrived in true colonial spirit boarding the victorian mountain railway, taking in more stunning views and passing quaint little hill stations along the way. We found a new and very clean room in a little resort which looked on the outside like some sort of semi psychedelic new england abode with a daz-white wooden exterior, late 19th century sitting gardens and luminescent yellow curtains.
The highlight of our stay most definitely the botanical gardens with its huge trees and impeccable lawns (see pic). Apart from that there's not much to report, the move back into the cooler climbs was a relief from the long hot journey we took to to get there.
