The First great epic poem in Tamil (CIRCA 2AD) Silappadigaram, mentions Nilagiris- The Blue Mountain, Nila meaning Blue and Giri meaning Mountain. The name Nilagiri is said to be acquired due to the perpetual purple/blue haze of kurinji flowers that appear on these mountains.
Ooty is a real beauty, aptly described as the Queen of Hillstations, how else can one explain Ooty more picturesquely!
You have to see it, to believe it and that is why we say,
“Explore Nilgiris, Experience Nature”
