I spent a quick weekend in Ooty just before the beginning of summer, doing not much but whiling away time, not chasing places to see or things to do. A short journey on 10 minutes on the Nilgiri Mountain Railway, and a quick visit to Emerald Lake happened while I was there. Some pictures.

i heard that the rail runs couple of times in a day. If you have any information about the timings kindly share them.
Hey thats a really nice pic of Emerald Lake. I’m planning on heading to Ooty sometime in April. Is that good time to visit the place? Do check out my photo blog and let me know what you think of it.
Wonderful photos…
Thank you for the comments.
@Ravi, I don’t know the timings; I think it runs twice a day. You can see the timings at irctc.co.in
@Neville, April would be a little hot, I think.
