About Udhagamandalam, Your Drop Point
Udhagamandalam, popularly known as Ooty, is the headquarters of The Nilgiris district and was historically developed as a hill retreat during the colonial era.

The town is the southern terminus of the Nilgiri Mountain Railway, a 45.88-km metre-gauge line connecting Mettupalayam (elevation 326 m) to Udhagamandalam (elevation about 2,203 m), opened in 1899 and inscribed by UNESCO in 2005 as part of the Mountain Railways of India World Heritage group.
