Introduction :

 

Perched in the Southern most part of Indian Peninsula, the state of Tamil Nadu is situated between Bay of Bengal in the east and Indian Ocean in the south. Tamilnadu is a state that is blessed with all the geographical landforms ranging from beaches like Marina beach, Kanyakumari beach and hill stations like Ooty, Kodaikanal to rain forests and plains. The state is so naturally beautiful that it seems that God himself has handpicked the most splendid spots and assembled them to make this enchanting state of Tamilnadu.In the west by the states of Kerala and Karnataka and in the North by the Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.

The land mass of the state can be divided into two natural divisions,
(1) The Eastern coastal plain
(2) The hilly region along the North and the West

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 the name worthwhile. Udhagamandalam (Ooty), Coonoor and Kotagiri hill stations are on the Nilgiri's. Amongst these, Ooty is known as the 'Queen of hill stations'.
