- Ooty Lake is an artificial lake constructed by John Sullivan in 1824. The water flowing down mountain streams in the Ooty valley was dammed to form the lake. The lake became empty on three occasions when it breached its bund. Originally, the lake was intended to be used for fishing, with ferries being used to travel across the lake. It gradually shrunk from its original size, giving place to the current bus stand, race course and the lake park. The Tamil Nadu Tourism Development Corporation, on behalf of the Tourism Department, took possession of the lake in 1973 to provide boating facilities as a tourist attraction.
The Nilgiri Mountain Railway (NMR) is a 1,000 mm (3 ft 3+3⁄8 in) metre gauge railway in Nilgiris district, Tamil Nadu, India, built by the British in 1908.The railway is operated by the Southern Railway and is the only rack railway in India.
The railway relies on its fleet of steam locomotives.NMR switched to diesel locomotives on the section between Mettupalyam and Udhagamandalam. Local people and visitors led a campaign to return to steam locomotives in this section.
In July 2005, UNESCO added the Nilgiri Mountain Railway as an extension to the World Heritage Site of Darjeeling Himalayan Railway. The site then became known as Mountain Railways of India.
Pine Forest
A journey of just 15 minutes from Ooty town centre will take you to the famed Pine Tree Forests of Ooty. These scenic woodlands, obscured in a fleeting veil of mist, offer a delightful experience to all travellers.
Immortalized in countless Indian movies are the soaring pine woods, awe-inspiring landscapes and pleasant atmosphere of the Pine Tree Forests of Ooty. These woodlands overlooking the majestic view of Sandynulla Lake, are an ideal honeymoon destination. The air scented with pine cones, the rich silence of Nature and the spectacle of dancing butterflies are just a few of the magical elements in these enchanted woods.
Shooting Point, Ooty
Have you ever wanted to visit fairy-tale-like settings and recreate iconic scenes from your favourite movies? Head to Shooting Point in Ooty, where a picturesque view of unending green meadows and rolling hills veiled in thin white fog awaits you.
About 15 km from Ooty town is Shooting Point, a picturesque patch of meadows amidst the rolling green hills of the Nilgiris. This vast expanse of mist-clad undulating green meadows, formerly known as Wenlock Downs, was once a popular hunting ground for the British and is now home to the Gymkhana Golf Club, the Hindustan Photo Films Company and a state-run sheep farm. This strikingly spectacular meadowland covering a cluster of incessant slopes and opulent woodlands has featured in numerous movies and has thus been nicknamed by locals as Shooting Point or Shooting Medu. These meadows and rolling moors, spotted with lush shola forests, a unique feature of the Western Ghats, are a hotspot of biodiversity and a place of pristine natural beauty. The unending wavy grasslands and lush misty hillocks of this heavenly tract of the Nilgiris are a paradise for photographers and attract hordes of film crews all year round.
