Principali attrazioni a Ooty
💡 Check if the bell tower is open – you can climb up for a free panoramic view of the town. Sunday service at 9 AM is worth attending for the choir.

💡 Go early morning (around 7-8 AM) when it's quiet and the light is good for photos. The entry fee is about ₹50 for adults.
💡 The entry is ₹20. Ask the caretaker to show you how a Toda hut is constructed – the bamboo-and-thatch technique is surprisingly clever.
