Must see, must visit in the Nilgiri Hills

While driving to the Nilgiri Hills, it’s better to stay in: 
Kotagiri,
Red Hills,
Emerald,
Avalanche,
Upper Bhavani (too many restrictions on visit & no hotels),
Conoor,
Glenmorgan (another hidden beauty). 

Skip Ooty. It's too crowded on weekends. Rampant construction work has made the town devoid of all greenery 😢

When it comes to a self-drive car or a test-drive car or even a friend's car and the likes, most people tend to take liberties by misusing the ride.

The friend revved the car to almost 190 kmph on NICE Road in Bangalore city outskirts. On approaching a toll plaza, the driver friend lost control of the SUV and rolled off the road after somersaulting 7 times. The person driving the car lost his life while the prospective owner, a lady and a minor girl are in hospital with serious injuries.
