"Trekking - Part 1" Udagamandalam Travelogue by Willettsworld

I went on a half-day trek around the tea plantations and villages around Ooty through the Reflections Guesthouse which is said to offer some of the best. We first started by taking a 20 minutes bus ride to the north of Ooty and then walked up hills and through valleys passing by large tea plantations. After a while we stopped and had our packed lunches which were provided by the ladies at the guesthouse. Then we went through a small Toda village with single-storey houses and small Hindu shrines with everyone looking at us as we walked through. We then carried on and went past some bamboo huts which are used for religious ceremonies and up the side of a mountain where the views were wonderful. There was a sheer drop on the other side and we could see down the valley and onto the flat plains below. We then walked back to the village where we were picked up and taken back to the guesthouse in Ooty. A nice small trek that wasn't too demanding which cost me Rs300.
