Ooty, or the Queen of Hill Stations as named by Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru, fits the bill for a perfect getaway from the fast-paced city life.

From being a sleepy city with people leading simple normal lives, Ooty has really come a long way. One walk around the town and you find people from all walks of life going around with their business day in and day out. With a lot of pharmaceutical companies and other such industries making their presence felt recently, Ooty is undergoing a slow transformation into a business hub. But none of this happens at the cost of the scenic charm that Ooty possesses since time immemorial. Ooty also boasts of a number of world-class boarding schools which have been counted among the best in the country (though they are on the expensive end for a small town). The local people lead a simple lifestyle. Tourism still remains the greatest source of income for the people in Ooty. The local inhabitants of Ooty are quite down to earth and extremely helpful lot.
