What does one do when the mercury soars in Bangalore and rains play hide and seek? Old timers always said that it normally rains after Holi in Bangalore. Rain. It did. In few spots and after that there was not a sign of cloud anywhere. The heat intensified and it was time to escape from it and move to cooler environs. To quiet corners of Ooty!

If you are in Bangalore, the only place you can escape quickly is Ooty and it’s sister towns Coonoor and Kotagiri. Ooty is not new to us having been there many times before. We also hear everyone comment about how crowded Ooty has become. Yes, it has. But quiet corners of Ooty like Avalanche, Red hills, Coonoor and Kotagiri are still nice and beautiful.
