Hotel Taj Ooty

The Headquarters Of The Nilgiri District. The Toda Tribe Has Been Living Here Since Time Immemorial, But The Credit For 'Discovering' Ooty, Making It Accessible And Developing It, Surely Goes To The British. In 1822, John Sullivan, The Then Collector Of Coimbatore, Constructed The 'Stone House', Which Is Now The Chamber Of The Principal Of The Government Arts College And One Of Ooty's Better Known Landmarks. Ooty Was The Summer Capital Of The Madras Presidency, In The Days Of The British Raj.
