Garden opens at Katteri
Hi!
When you drive down to Ooty you look forward to seeing gardens and flowers and also want to stay away from the crowd!!! Can you? Yes...Stop over at Katteri garden on the way to Coonoor. This is a good stop over for about an hour.
Explore the garden...for starters it is a very good effort. There is a car park and the location is very scenic.
Also it has access to Runneymede railway station where one can explore the rack and pinion system of the Nilgiri Mountain railway and also see the great view of the stream flowing to Mettupalayam.

I sure feel it would be worth the time spent.
Ciao and more will follow.

The Nilgiris 2011
Hi! Many of you will be visiting the serene surrounds of the Nilgiris only to get away from the sweltering heat.
While you will enjoy the weather and almost any place you visit, it is my endeavor to bring to you some "Not to miss" areas of the Nilgiris. Though it may not be comprehensive it will definitely add to your repertoire and you can choose how to spend your time usefully.
Remember....
1. Travelling to the Queen of hill stations can be frustrating due traffic. Keep your cool & enjoy the journey. This is what you are here for isn't it. Follow traffic rules and drive leisurely. If you want to stop be sure to indicate your intentions well in advance. This can help reducing a large number of accidents.
2. Do not argue with the police. Theirs is a tough job during this period. Park only in designated areas and in an orderly fashion. You can help.
3. Try to stay off the standard timings for meals. You may like to have them slightly earlier or later than the regular 9 AM, 2 PM & 9 PM routine. Try a Brunch at 10:30 AM and tiffin at 3 PM. Life is a lot simpler!!
4. Keep your visits in a circular fashion and with enough time cushions. Stop and enjoy the breath taking scenery around you.
There will be more coming up with places to visit and photos once I get used to blogging. (This is my first attempt.)
