Nilgiri is called queen of hills situated in the state of Tamilnadu. It is been named as Ooty alias Oothagamund by British (Othakkal Mandhu is been deprived to ooty. Means a village under one large stone). The Britisher has spent their summer in ooty when they ruled the country and you can see lot of British Architectural buildings still been used by the people there.
OOty is a good tourist spot and also a good place for botanical research. It has a lot of tourist spots like Botanical Garden, Rose Garden, Thodda petta, Lake for Boating, Pykara falls, some beautifull hill tops and many other Dams & tourist places in its surroundings.
Lot of films happened to be taken in ooty, both kollywood and bollywood films.There are shooting spots like 6th mile and 7th mile.

Ooty is a reserve for botanical plants and there is always researchers working on there.Ooty is also a reserve for Hydropower generation as you can find lot of dams and hydropower stations situated in the hills.
