We took the night train and slept our way there.  ;)

A gorgeous place, designed by Amjith's father!

This place is famous for its tea and chocolates. Ooty is very hilly, and tea grows best on a slope. We bought lots of tea!

Many hills = Many switchbacks

This hill had 36!!

We saw some people hand-picking tea leaves.

Amjith said this is a "paper flower." The texture of the leaves feel like paper.

Ooty is plastic-free city. I was impressed!

Cows on the street, taking in the city views.
