Ooty, also referred to as “Queen of the Nilgiris,<\/strong>” is very popular among many of the people who visit Southern India. It has tea plantations, a colonial feel with the many houses that were built there, and fog mornings or misty feelings, along with a beautiful view from the top of the hill. It has been very chewed up and polished for tourism. Most people who have visited Ooty will have had their picture taken here or have had it taken many times. But very few people take the opportunity to go beyond the polished side of Ooty and see what lies just 30 km down the road. This is a very large wilderness area and is called Avalanche<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Avalanches can be found hidden amongst the eucalyptus trees, and on winding mountain roads, and a lot of the time, they are quiet. It appears to be more like a hidden treasure of the hills than an actual tourist destination. Avalanche<\/strong> does not cater to tourists and does not have any shopping malls, neon lights, or semi-decent log cabins that have been built in its respective areas.<\/span>\u00a0What Avalanche does offer is something much rarer: untouched forests, wildflowers, Glacier Lake, and a sense that time somehow slowed down for you.<\/p>\n
