St Catherine Falls, Kotagiri, Ooty

         'St Catherine' water falls (seasonal) is located near Kotagiri  town, Tamil Nadu. The falls, nestled in the hills of the Niligris, is an added attractions for tourists visiting Ooty. The journey to the falls was a mesmerizing one.

        The water falls from a height of about 250 feet and is two tiered. A pleasant walk through a private tea garden takes us to the view point of the falls. The walk was amazing and we also found some porcupine  spines during our way to the view point. Though we visited during the monsoons, there was not much force in the waters, but definitely the weather made the place look more beautiful .

  2. Excellent collection of photographs. Did you drop by Kodanad to see the 220 degree view point, which is Nilgiris best view point?

    the pictures of wild flowers were amazing...
    a small correction: i think it is Tea plantation and not Tea Garden (Garden always refer to a small domesticated place)

  10. Beautiful photos and I love your commentary about the trip. My husband used to make jewelry from porcupine spines and beads. Of this set of photos my favorite two are the field (Awesome View) and the last photo of the monkeys. They are adorable.
