Ooty Winter Travel Tips
1> Carry loads of woolen if you are visiting in peak winter. A woolen skull cap is a must.
2> De-list Sims Park/Botanical Garden/Rose Garden from your itinerary. These places are best visited in Apr-May.
3> Carry a good lip balm.
4> Preferably book a hotel that provides room heating. If not, make sure that the hotel provides you with additional blankets if required.
5> Going to Mudumalai Forest Reserve, I found, is a waste of time. Unless you are really lucky you won’t find any wild animal apart from few monkeys, deers or a stray elephant.
6> Stay away from Blue Hill Hotel @ Charing Cross. The food is outright junk and the service pathetic.
7> Buy fresh carrots. They are cheap and a good snack during your long trips.
8> Buy woolen @ Tibetan Market. The prices are generally 1/3 rd of what you would pay for the same elsewhere.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Rosh
