Naveen in Ooty
Shortly before the close of 2004, i rushed on a trip to Ooty. It was finalised after lots of changes and somehow managed inbetween tight schedules. We started on Thursday night from Chennai and returned on Monday morning; so we had a comfortable 3 days to relax at Nilgiris. Here are some interesting snaps from the trip…

Just before boarding the Metupalayam - Ootacamund Passenger Toy Train.

Here comes the traditional Steam Engine…

Accompanying along with was a wagonload full of coal ! (Fuel for the engine)

You know…

The train making one of its several graceful turns…

expansive Tea estates of Ootacamund

Introducing Vasanth - believe me; he has been feeded with almost all Favourite56 stories and has a fair idea about all of us. He is one of the MBA batchmates of SLCS along with Thiagu, Prince, Thiru, etc.

Crystal Clear Pykara Lake !

The Excess of Pykara Dam being discharged

A Stunning view from Doddabetta - the highest peak in the Nilgiris Mountain Range

Doddabetta Viewing Tower

Dolphin’s Nose - yet another peak in Nilgiris. The most sharpest infact… The guide gave us a scary yet fascinating description about it - Sir, can you see the Mettupalayam road from here below? It will take 3 hrs to reach there by any transport but if you jump from here it will take just 3 mins!! 3mins?!?!

Lush green tea plantations…

Shoot me now !

Vasanth giving one of his classic pose..!

Ok. Ok. If you think why so many photos then let me tell you something. There are some 250 photos like this that we clicked away happily. And the subject was always either Me or Vasanth or the nature…!
