Ooty, is not less than a paradise remained unknown to the great southern dynasties and it took the British to discover it in the early 1800s. Before that time, the area was inhabited by Todas.

.....Ranikhait is a small beautiful village and may be natures favourite child for I havent witnessed a place as pure, screen and untouched by the expanse of modern life as this. And for any nature lover, who desires to be lost in the vast expance of nature, to be cuddled by green grasses and artistic trees, for anyone who truely desires a vaccation from the concreates of life that we build our nests on Ranikhait is a destination that sure will stir your soul......

...The place half way is known as'Ardhkuvari', there is a small temple that one can go for worship. There are many hotels and Dharamshallas where one can take rest and then continue wth the journey. There are many food points on the way. Apart from the food points. Try out the famous Rajma Chawal of this place.

.I would suggest a visit to this beautiful city to any traveler not only because of the beautiful landscape but also because of the hospitable nature of the people here. The hospitality of the people was so avid once I reached Gangtok. And then there were so many places to see in Gangtok like the Nathu La Pass, Tosmgo Lake and the Mountanieering Institiute.
