I was in Ooty and kodaikanal for couple of days during my 1st honeymoon. We stayed in Nahar Nilgiri in Ooty and Koiai International in Kodaikanal. we enjoy very much. We travel a lot and have fun all the time. It was so chilled during those days that we could not walk easily. But it was fun to be there. I belongs to north india but yes this is very true that South Indian are really kind and sweet in nature. |
