Writing this TL after 6 months of travel ![[frustration]](https://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/images/smilies/Frustration.gif "Frustration [frustration]")
Last time I visited Ooty a couple of years ago (Apr 2012), destinations missed during last visit were covered this time. A couple of changes w.r.t last visit,
1) Last time I was single, and traveled with my parents, and this time travelling with my betterhalf
2) Ride changed, Linea <-- City

I have my winter holidays (from Christmas to New Year) every year and for the last year we (myself and better half) planned to visit Ooty. Though everyone at home were against our plan stating the severe winter and low temperature, we decided to explore Ooty.
Plan
30th Dec'13 : Palladam (hometown) --> Kothagiri --> Kodanad View point --> Sims park --> Boat house --> Night stay at Aravankadu
31st Dec'13 : Aravankadu --> Glenmorgan --> Pykara Falls --> Pykara Lake --> Shooting spot --> Aravankadu
1st Jan'14 : Aravankadu --> Dodebetta --> Botanical Garden --> Palladam
By some xyz theory, there will be a deviation between the plan & actual and the same is applicable for this trip too. On 30th Dec we weren't allowed to visit Kodanad view point as there was some meeting between CM & Ministers at Kodanad estate. So the actual is,
30th Dec'13 : Palladam (hometown) --> Kothagiri --> Sims park --> Dodebetta --> Boat house --> Night stay at Aravankadu
31st Dec'13 : Aravankadu --> Glenmorgan --> Pykara Falls --> Pykara Lake --> Shooting spot --> Aravankadu
1st Jan'14 : Aravankadu --> Botanical Garden --> Kodanad View Point --> Palladam
Road to Glenmorgan was horrible. and the next worst road was at Dodebetta.
Ride : Fiat Linea
Rider : Self
Distance covered : 510km
FE : 16.4kmpl
