A Trip to Ooty - Part I
Last weekend we had a long weekend Friday being Ugadi followed by Sat and Sunday. Me and and my husband just planned for a trip to ooty and thus went for a 2 day trip to Ooty and Coonoor.
Ooty is also known as ootacamund ir udsagamandalam is located in the mountains of Nilgiri and is positioned at an attitude of 7500 feet from sea level and is approximately 300 kms from Bangalore by Road.
We dint get any cab as we decided to go to ooty at the very last time. Finally My hubby decided to drove car from Bangalore to Ooty.
Day 1: March 24,2012:
The Trip to Ooty was decided just like that. So in the morning my husband just googled the searah and we decided to take the route and the route that we decided to took was Bangalore->Mysore->Bandipur>-> Mudumalai >Ooty.
Mysore ia approx 170 Kms from Bangalore. As today was the first day of Navratri, so we need to Puja and both were on fast. After Completing our Puja and daily stuff. We started from our Home at 01:00 P.M. From the place where we live, we have a NICE Road that connects to Mysore. So we decided to take that route so as to avoid the hassle of Traffic conditions.Soon we we left the city and we were in the highway. We took 45 minutes break in Mysore as my hubby was tired of driving. Then our next destination was BANDIPUR (which is a forest area).
Bandipur is a National Park which is approx 80 KM from Mysore. We reached Bandipur near about 5 or 5:30 P.M.Soon we both crossed Bandipur forest and entered the forest area of Mudumalai which is also forest area in Tamilnadu. So we were in Tamil nadu Nadu. it was getting dark and till now we didn't crossed the GHATS. It was almost 6:00 t0 6:30 P.M. when we entered Ghats.
The Ghat section starts soon after we complete Mudumalai Forest.As we moved further in the Ghats Section the air become thinner and cooler.It was getting dark so we decide on our way back to Bangalore. we will hault at this places.
Finally we reached Ooty around 08:00 P.M. in the night. We have never been to Ooty before. For both of us it was out first visit. Then we drove us to a Hotel name "Ganghotri". It was quite decent. We booked the room. We both were very hungry as we both was on fast. So We ordered Fruit salad and two cups of Tea.
We had that and my hubby was very tired because of hours of driving. So we decided to take a rest and start our trip from next day.
