Just beauu...tiful

Greetings! dear friends of read.cash. Hope you all are going through the best of your time. The weather here is pleasing. Last article was about a visit to a beautiful destination. Let me disclose the name of this so called beautiful place - it is called "Ooty". One of the most famous tourist destination in the southern part of our country.

In a year, this city is supposed to be silent for ten months and lively for two months. Lively means with lot of hassles and bustles in the month of April and May. It is during this time, the small town is filled with peoples from all over the country. Yes, it's the vacation period here for the month of April and May. To escape the heat and humidity one prefers a travel to such a cool destination.

The journey to this destination is amazing. Its a hairpin road - meaning - from the ground level to the top, the roads are in the form of hairpin. We can travel by bus, cars and bikes. Most youngsters prefer bikes. We opted for a 30 seater tourist bus. As we keep moving upwards, in a circular motion around tthe mountain, in tourist bus, our ears get closed. The more you go up, the roads below seems to disappear. On the contrary the view of thick forests below, due to crowded trees becomes visible as we drive up. One cannot escape the dangerous narrow road going upwards. Only Two buses or other transports travel on opposite sides. No more gap for other vehicles to move. The journey is just amazing.

The thrill of the travel comes to an end, once you reach the top of the mountain. The time taken from the the ground level to reach the peak of the mountain is three and half hours. The view is just mind blowing with blue mountains, water falls, small houses on mountain tops, shops on either side and most of all variety of coloured flowers on both sides of the road.

Once you reach the destination you can find lot of travel Agencies in the city. Their main agenda being to convince the tourist for a paid ride within the city. They take us around the city for sight seeing in a mini bus with a specified package offer. Seating capacity is for around 10-15 tourists. Different packages for different destinations. Some of them prefer to travel by self while some accept the package tour.

Most of the places we visited are the mountain peaks and flower shows. Tea gardens spread all over the hill tops is something that anyone can miss.

No airports here. But for emergency purpose they make use of the helicopter. On the way we were able to see the helipad area. The main transportation here is the bus. They fly up and down with passengers.

So finally we reached our destination. A small hotel on the hill top with amazing viewpoint below from the garden. When we reached our destination some of accomodates were sitting round the fire wood to beat the cold weather.

The appearance and disappearance of fog in few minutes is also one of the main attraction. Within minutes the city was covered with mist where we could see nothing, but in few minutes everything is back to normal. That really is another beautiful sight.

So this is the journey to our destination. Hope you enjoyed the journey. So what next? The places to visit. Will continue and wish you join me with my journey ahead.

Thanks for the patience.... please take time to go through the amazing reads of my wonderful sponsors.
