Bends and Slopes

 

Roads in Coonnoor and Ooty

Bends like a hairpin,

Slopes like a rollercoaster,

Sways us to the sides,

Plays us on the rides,

Was it a hill station or an amusement park?

Descending

 

Descend!

Sun descends to again rise,

Water falls to stop the dries,

…

Descending is falling, not failing!!

My Travel – 1

Tuesday Photo Challenge – Travel

It would have been better if we’d taken the popular train from Mettupalayam to Ooty, up the great mountains of Nilgiris, for it would have been a more relishing journey than by car. However, booking tickets was a hectic task as there was a great demand for them.

The pictures below are in a chronological order of our tour of Ootacamund (aka Ooty), the Beauty Queen Town of the Great Blue mountains of Nilgiris (‘Nila’ means Blue and ‘giri’ means mountain), Tamil Nadu, India.

After the pleasant trip, left our hearts in so many places in Ooty and thereabouts and returned home with sweet memories.

Rest for Some Time

 

After miles of traveling and trekking the mountains, forests, lakes, waterfalls, trails, paths and steep terrains…

We found…

A cozy place…

 

Of Great Hospitality!

Reaching the Terminal

 

Boating leisurely on the lake of Ooty,

Fresh, green and cool ambience…

Oh…no…the final point has arrived.
