After a little battle for leave, I could confirm my tour to Ooty and kodaikanal this summer vacation of children.
I included Mysore in my itinerary
I contacted my cousin Bhalchandra who is working in Jindal Aluminum in Bangalore. His family too got ready to accompany us.
We started on 23rd march from Dabaspet Bangalore
First day we reached Ooty in the early evening and visited botanical garden.
The next day, we went to coonoor where we visited Tea company and understood the process of making tea from tea plant leaves. And visited some beautiful places in Coonoor.
In return journey to Ooty, we travelled in Nilgiri train which was a memorable experience
The next day we started for kodaikanal. We travelled through many small towns of Tamilnadu.
Kodaikanal was not as cold as Ooty. We stayed there for one night.
In kodaikanal, we visited berijam lake. We took ride in forest approved bus to reach berijam lake
We also visited some scenic places and a place where one of kamal hassan movies was shooted
Local People's dislike for Hindi language was felt prominently here.
In a restaurant named Hotel Punjab, We had Punjabi named dishes with south Indian taste.
Restaurant owner got angry when I tried to make inquiry about must watch places in kodaikanal in Hindi language.
Hill station has taken shape of small town so to have feel of hill station, one has to travel few kilometers outside main town. Even at cross roads, traffic was as thick as that in cities
