Tamilnadu Tourism

Nestling on the south eastern side of Indian territory, the beautiful and culturally rich Tamil Nadu is bounded on the east by Bay of Bengal, in the south by the Indian ocean, in the west by the states of Kerala and Karnataka and in the North by Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.
A stroll through the clouds afloat, collect a handful of natural pleasure as a memoir, open the hands and they dissolve into oblivion. This pleasurable dream is not impossible on a hill station with the pleasant climate. With their dreamy and rejuvenating atmospheres, Ooty on the Nilgiri's and Kodaikanal on the Palani Hills in Tamil Nadu are two favorite tourist spots.
Nilgiri (meaning 'blue mountain') hills at the concurrence of the Eastern and Western Ghats are enveloped by the blue haze of the clouds, making their name justified. Udhagamandalam, famously known as Ooty, Coonoor and Kotagiri hill stations, are all part of the lofty Nilgiri's. For its beauty, holiday options and reachability, Ooty is called the 'Queen of hill stations'.
Adventure is undoubtedly one of the best activities to indulge in, in Tamil Nadu hill stations. Trekking, Hang-Gliding, fishing and Golf are some of the recreation facilities that have captured the imaginations of the tourists here. 2100m above sea level on the enchanting Palani hills, 120 km form Madurai, is another splendid hill station, Kodaikanal.
The place is filled with the hues of Kurinji plant, which gives purple flowers once in twelve years. The main attraction of the hill station is the man- made Kodai Lake which has paddle-boating facilities. Just round the corner is Briyant's park. Behold the celestial family from the solar observatory and the two telescope houses of Kodaikanal.
