A Club Mahindra Managed Resort Udhagamandalam, popularly known as Ooty, is the Queen of Hill Stations and is nestled amid the Nilgiris or the 'Blue Mountains'. It is a wonderful smorgasbord of Hindu temples, lovely parks and gardens, and charming Raj-era bungalows.The lofty mountains, dense forest, sprawling grasslands and miles and miles of tea gardens greet tourists when they visit this divine abode. Against this picture-perfect backdrop, in the heart of the Blue Mountains overlooking one of India’s oldest derbies, is Club Mahindra Derby Green, Ooty. A colonial style resort, spread over five and a half acres of meadows; it gives you a feeling of being transported back to the British era. You can start your day with a cup of Ooty’s finest tea blends and then head out for a stroll through the meadows with your spouse, or just relax in your room admiring the beauty of this place that’s lost in the lap of Mother Nature.
On a rainy day or after a tiring trek, relax in the resort and play some board games or try your hand at table tennis.
You can visit dams, plantations or just hike up the hills. Guides are available to take you into the forests and around the hills.
The Nilgiris is home to over 250 species of birds, including endemic and endangered species. You can visit Doddabetta or the Botanical Gardens to look for birds.
Visit plantations, head to the Shola forests - the journey is the destination here as you can meander around hairpin bends and look for lakes and dams in the mountains.
