I want to share my experiences during the summer vacation. I went to Ooty for ten days and the climate was really fine. I went to the Botanical Garden, where a flower show was conducted. I went to Doddabetta Peak, which is the highest peak in the Nilgiris. The view from the top of the peak is absolutely mesmerizing. I travelled in the Toy train from Mettupalayam to Ooty via Coonoor. Mudumalai National Park is attractive. Yesterday I returned from there. I am waiting to see you, Ravi.
