Ootacamund or Ooty is situated in Nilgiri Mountains near Tri
Junction of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala. Ooty is the only
hill station in india which attracts visitors during all seasons.
This picturesque place nestles in an amphitheatre created by four
majestic hills namely the Doddabetta, Snowdon, Elk Hill, and Club
Hill. These hills are part of the Nilgiri ranges, which are
actually the meeting points for the Western and the Eastern Ghats.
The name Nilgiri or the Blue Mountains may have been derived from
the fact that when the funnel-shaped lavender-blue flowers blossom
this picturesque mountain range becomes covered with the colour of
the blue lavender making the entire mountain look blue.
