About Ooty
Ooty is
a popular hill station located in the Nilgiri Hills, in the Indian state of
Tamil Nadu. It is roughly 80km north of Coimbatore, and is well connected by
roads from any other destinations in India. Famous for its exotic flowers and
scenic views, Ooty is the perfect place to spend a romantic weekend with your
significant other.
Located
deep within the Nilgiri Hills, which literally means Blue Mountains, Ooty was
given its name because of the blue haze given off by eucalyptus trees on the
mountain. Moreover, the Kurunji flower, which grows once every 12 years, also
gives the hills a tinge of blue. Today, the town's economy is based on tourism and agriculture, along
with manufacture of medicines and photographic film.
Aside
from well-known botanical gardens and hilltop views, the small town of Ooty
definitely has its sights to see. Its streets are filled with vendors selling
all sorts of herbs and spices, toys and souvenirs, clothing, and much more. If
you have a sweet tooth, Ooty is also famous for its fudge and chocolates. My
personal favorite was the rum raisin!
Rent an SUV if you have a big group and crave
the nature and trekking Hampi has to offer, or rent a Figo or Honda City to take a
nice relaxing drive through tea plantations and botanical gardens.
If you don't own a car or don't want to take
your own car, then Zoom has several options for you to consider:
Hatchback: Take our Ford Figo ZXI
for flexibility in your travels. Whether you want to hike or cruise through tea
plantations, the Figo gives you freedom to explore Hampi however you want.
Sedans: Zoom with
Honda City or BMW 320d if you want to ride around Ooty in style. These cars are
great if you have a small group or are with your significant other.
SUV: If trekking is what you crave,
the mighty Scorpio is all yours to explore the unexplored. No need to worry
about steep uphill climbs or rough terrain, the Scorpio can handle it all. The
Scorpio is especially good if you are with a large group of people.
All Zoom cars come with the following: -
- All-inclusive tariff which includes fuel,
comprehensive insurance and taxes.
- A 3G enabled tablet, which makes navigation a
breeze.
- No deposit required to Zoom off.

In
order to get the most out of your experience, rent a car from Zoom so that you
have the freedom to explore Ooty as you please. No need to negotiate with
rickshaw drivers or walk down steep hills into town, you can drive however and
wherever you want. Ooty is a small town with limited access to rickshaws, so if
you dont rent a car be prepared for a lot of walking!
Nilgiri Mountain Railway:
This railway,
recently named a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a must-do for any traveler in
Ooty. Take a taxi to Coonoor, get your tickets onto the train, and be prepared
to wait in line. The train is often very crowded, and wait times can be up to
an hour, but it is well worth the wait. Once on the train the views are simply
magnificent, and the ambiance of riding the train while zooming through the
winding hills of Ooty makes for a truly unforgettable experience.
Government Rose Garden: Easily the most famous and well known
of all the tourist attractions in Ooty, the Government Rose Garden is great for
nature enthusiasts, or anyone looking to simply relax in a park. The garden is
home to over 20,000 varieties of roses, and is one of the largest collections
of roses in the country. Some of the roses include Hybrid Tea Roses,
Polyanthas, Ramblers, and even green and black roses as well!
Ooty Lake: Ooty Lake is 65 acres large and is a
focal point in the town of Ooty. The Boat House along the side of the lake
offers paddle boats that can be rented by the hour, and is a great way to spend
a romantic afternoon. Set among the landscape of Eucalyptus trees, the lake has
a railway running along one bank. During the month of May, boat races and boat
pageantry are held for two days at the lake.
Insiders Tip: Make sure you eat at Nahars
Sidewalk Café and try their brick oven pizza.
