OOTY- THE QUEEN OF HILL STATIONS

Udagamandalam (also Ootacamund )and abbreviated as Udhagai and Ooty is a town and municipality in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu.
The economy is based on tourism and agriculture, along with the manufacture of medicines and photographic film.
Its natural environment attracts tourists and it is a popular summer destination.
Ooty is situated in the Nilgiri hills, meaning the "blue mountains", so named due to the Kurunji flower which blooms every twelve years giving the slopes a bluish tinge.
Because of the mountains and green valleys, Ooty became known as the Queen of Hill Stations.
Udagamandalam was originally a tribal land occupied by the Toda along with other hill tribes who coexisted through specialisation and trade.
Despite its location in the tropics, in contrast with most of South India, Ooty generally features mild conditions throughout the year.
Ooty is still a supply base and market town for the surrounding area which is still largely dependent on agriculture, including the cultivation of "English vegetables" and "English fruits" grown locally.
This primarily consists of potato, carrot, cabbage and cauliflower and the fruits being peaches, plums, pears and strawberries.
Dairy farming has long been present in the area and there is a cooperative dairy manufacturing cheese and skimmed milk powder.
ooty is mainly known for its tourism.
