Queen of Hill Stations
Tea gardens and eucalyptus trees scent the air of the fields surrounding Ooty, a popular summer tourism destination up in the hills. The hill station once served as the summer retreat of the Madras Presidency, and many of the town's most notable buildings and public places date from the Raj era, including rose gardens, bungalows, and plantation houses. The bustle of the town during peak times seems a world away on a day excursion into the hills, with visits to Ooty traditionally including explorations of the biosphere reserve in which the hill station sits.
