Best Time to visit Uttarakhand

Albeit, Uttarakhand welcomes tourists all year round, the best time to explore its lush green environs is during the summer season. When the bustling cities of India experience scorching heat, the snow-capped mountains of Uttarakhand can be the best place to find some relief. But, people who cherish chilly atmosphere and want to experience snowfall, the picturesque surroundings during the winter season are the best to wander around. However, it is advised to avoid visiting here during the monsoon season, as heavy rainfall often leads to landslides, roadblocks, and cause delays in transport. Now, let’s take a look at the below information in regards to what can be the best time to explore the mesmerizing surroundings of Uttarakhand.

Summer Season (March - June)

Bidding adieu to the chilly winters, the duration of March to June is meant to beckon you for an escape in the midst of snow-clad mountains with the onset of spring season. As the temperature during the summers ranges from 20 degree celsius to 35 degree celsius, the environs seem rejoicing and the weather is quite pleasant for sightseeing, trekking, and other outdoor activities. If you are an adventure-junkie, you can explore the astonishing wildlife and partake in water activities, such as river rafting, biking, and more.

Monsoon Season (July - September)

With the temperature hovering in between 15 degree celsius and 25 degree celsius, the months of July to September bring heavy rainfalls in Uttarakhand. As the chances of landslides, transport delays, and roadblocks may affect the journey, it is advised not to visit here during the monsoon season. However, if you are a nature lover, and the view of lush greenery and blossoming flowers is what you take the utmost delight in, then it can be a good time to immerse yourself amidst natural surroundings.

Winter Season (October - February)

From the month of October to the month of February, Uttarakhand experiences the winter season. As the mercury goes as low as zero degree celsius, the weather is quite chilly.

Next, head to the Eco Cave Gardens, an exciting spot for nature lovers and adventure enthusiasts. The gardens feature six natural caves, each offering a unique experience as you navigate through the narrow and winding passages. The Hanging Garden at the site is perfect for strolls and photography. This place should be part of the best itinerary for Nainital.

Snow View Point

After exploring the caves, make your way to Snow View Point, one of Nainital’s most popular attractions. Accessible by a cable car ride or a steep trek, the point offers mesmerizing views of the snow-clad Himalayas, including the majestic Nanda Devi, Trishul, and Nanda Kot peaks.

Governor’s House (Raj Bhawan)

End your day of sightseeing with a visit to the Governor’s House or Raj Bhawan , a magnificent British-era building that now serves as the official residence of the Governor of Uttarakhand. The sprawling estate features impressive Gothic architecture, lush gardens, and a historical golf course. You will feel relaxed when you include this place in your itinerary for Nainital after a long day of strolling around.

This birdwatcher’s paradise is home to over 580 species of birds, including the Himalayan griffon, blue-winged minla, and white-throated laughing thrush. Enjoy a guided nature walk through the sanctuary to spot and photograph these beautiful birds in their natural habitat. A visit to this sanctuary should be part of your itinerary for Nainital.

Bhimtal Lake

Next, head to Bhimtal Lake, a serene and picturesque lake located about 22 km from Nainital. The lake is named after the legendary Bhima, one of the Pandava brothers from the Indian epic Mahabharata. Enjoy boating or kayaking on the calm waters, or simply relax by the lakeside and admire the stunning views. A visit to this place is a must to be part of your itinerary for Nainital.

Naukuchiatal

After exploring Bhimtal, proceed to Naukuchiatal, a quaint lake village situated about 26 km from Nainital. The lake is famous for its nine corners, which are believed to be auspicious and offer a glimpse into the mysteries of nature.

End your day with a visit to Sattal, a cluster of seven interconnected freshwater lakes located about 23 km from Nainital. Surrounded by lush forests and rich in biodiversity, Sattal is an ideal destination for nature enthusiasts and adventure seekers. Enjoy activities such as birdwatching, trekking, and camping, or simply unwind by the lakeside and take in the enchanting views.

Day 4: Last-minute shopping and departure

Begin your final day in Nainital with a visit to the bustling Tibetan Market, located along Mall Road. This lively market is perfect for picking up souvenirs and local handicrafts, such as handmade candles, woollen clothes, and wooden artefacts.

7 Day Uttarakhand Road Trip Itinerary

The Best of Uttarakhand in One Week

Uttarakhand Tourism saw a sharp rise in popularity the last couple of years. This northern state in India is a cornucopia of many hill stations and tourist attractions. There is so much to do and so much to see as Uttarakhand is blessed with natural beauty – jungles, rivers, snow-clad mountains and an inherent sense of divinity. The state is also called “Devbhumi” (“The Land of the Gods”) as it is home to many highly revered shrines like  Badrinath, Kedarnath  and so many others. And then there is offbeat Uttarakhand that we keep exploring whenever we can find an opportunity.

It can take a whole book to write about what are the best things to do in Uttarakhand . But that is for another day. Here is our humble attempt to create an Uttarakhand guide about what all can you do in 7 days, through this 7 Day Uttarakhand Travel Itinerary and Guide . We have tried to include destinations that you can reach within 6-7 hours of journey from each other.

• How to reach Uttarakhand

The best way to reach Uttarakhand from any part of the world is by starting from Delhi. Delhi is very well-connected with Uttarakhand via road, rail and air. Though there are 5 airports in Uttarakhand, you may or may not get a direct flight. Once you are in Delhi, you can opt for road transport like a rented cab, bus or a self driven car. From our experience, Uttarakhand road trips are most convenient to reach some of the offbeat places.

Day 1 – Delhi to Haridwar

Day 2 – haridwar to mussoorie, day 3 – mussoorie to chakrata, day 4 – chakrata to lansdowne, day 5 – lansdowne to nainital, day 6 – kausani day trip, day 7 – nainital to jim corbett national park , day 8 – back to delhi, 7 day uttarakhand road trip itinerary – summary, share this:.

Haridwar is famous for River Ganges. It is a temple town in Uttarakhand and is famous for its Ganga Aarti that is performed every morning and evening. One can cover the 200 kms odd strech from Delhi to Haridwar within 5 hours and the road condition is good. The stretch is full of eating options like  dhabas , hotels and cafes. The good part is Haridwar is in the Himalayan foothills so one can expect decent weather.

Things to do in Haridwar include Ganga Aarti  especially in the evening. It’s a spectacle like no other. Thousands of devotees gather around the river banks to offer prayers to Goddess Ganga. Priests with lamps in their hands chant mantras and the atmosphere looks blissful. There are myriad temples in Haridwar each with a different story. You can also visit Rishikesh from Haridwar which is barely 45 minutes drive and there are some famous temples and ashram in Rishikesh. The famous Beatles Ashram is also in Rishikesh. One can opt for hourly meditation and spa sessions in Rishikesh as well. This zone is also the most popular water rafting zone in North India.

Haridwar to Mussoorie is around 85kms and is not more than a 3 hours drive. Mussoorie is also called the “Queen of Hills” and hence from Day 2 your trip is going to be mostly on high terrain. Mussoorie is immensely popular with tourists because of many reasons. For one, Mussoorie has great weather throughout the year. Further, it has access to all sorts of hotel options from basic to luxury, from family friendly places to hostels and dormitories. Thirdly, this place has fantastic connectivity to other locations in Uttarakhand.

Things to do in Mussoorie include pottering down the famous Mall Road , trekking to Char Dukan , St Paul’s Church and early morning walk to camel’s back point. While trekking, do look out for antique and cobbler shops that make handmade shoes on order. A visit to hill resort Rockby’s Manor and savouring cheese omelette at Lovely Omelette Shop are also highly recommended. You may shop for souvenirs from the Mall Road of Mussoorie. It is full of gift options for all tastes and budgets.

You will drive 100kms and reach Chakrata in a span of 3 hours  from Mussoorie and see a completely different side of Uttarakhand here. While Mussoorie is extremely touristy, Chakrata is quite the opposite. It is an offbeat place and you may not see many tourists here. But it is breathtakingly beautiful and has retained its tranquillity. Chakrata is less explored but there are also many things one can do here in addition to soaking in the natural beauty. The most popular activity here is to visit Tiger Falls. These falls create sounds of roaring tigers when water drops from top of the hill to the pond at the bottom. It is a perfect picnic spot and you can frolic in the water. Apart from the waterfalls one can also visit  Mahsu Temple and Budher Caves.  

For adventure lovers there are arrangements for water rappelling at Kimona Falls.

Start the day early and within 6-7 hours of driving from Chakrata, covering around 250 kms, you will reach Lansdowne, a sleepy hill station in Uttarakhand. Lansdowne is essentially a Cantonment Town, and is home to the eilte  Garhwal Rifles of the Indian Army and hence you can expect peace, cleanliness and order. It is one of our most favorite places in Uttarakhand, no wonder we have visited it many times.

Things to do in Lansdowne include visiting Bulla Taal , a manmade lake which almost looks like a set from Indiana Jones movie, St Mary’s Church and trek up to Tiffin Top . We would highly recommend doing all these things by foot. All these things are under one hour trekking from each other and you will be able to absorb the beauty of Lansdowne better. Don’t forget to savour the famous chocolate  burfi  and Baal Mithai  – the specialty desserts of this region . We bet you will get these packed for friends and family.

A 6-7 hour drive covering around 250 kms will take you from Lansdowne to Nainital , which is perhaps the busiest hill station in Uttarakhand. Just like Mussoorie, Nainital also gets tourists all through the year. Summer vacations are the peak season in Nainital and if you don’t like crowds you should avoid holiday months for visiting this place. Nevertheless, it is a beautiful hill station any day.

The Naini Lake surrounded by green mountains is the heart of this place. Boating in Naini Lake is just one of the things to do here. Apart from this, you can visit the Naina Devi Temple , enjoy cable car rides and visit Eco Caves Garden . The Mall Road is a perfect place for shopping. Look out for hand carved wax candles here. This is a local handicraft and the candles come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. We would also highly recommend breakfast and bakery items at The Sakleys, A Mountain Cafe on Mall Road.

Don’t check out from your hotel at Nainital when you start for Kausani the next morning. Kausani can be visited from Nainital and one is advised to come back the same night since there are not many lodging options in Kausani. The driving time from Nainital to Kasauni is less than 4 hours and Kausani will give you a much-needed break from the humdrum of Nainital. Start early in the morning and you can visit Neem Karouli Ashram and  Katarmal Sun Temple on route to Kausani. If you love history, Katarmal Sun Temple may turn out to be a spectacular experience.

Kausani is a quaint little hamlet in Uttarakhand and would be loved by travellers who like peace and solitude. Apart from watching the valley from the binoculars from the highest point here, one must visit Gandhiji’s Anashakti Ashram in Kausani. It is a beautiful ashram cum museum displaying Gandhi memorabilia. Kausani is a perfect place to just be and not do anything. Just be one with nature and be awed by the variety of brightly coloured wild flowers. Start on your way back around sunset and you’ll be in Nainital by dinner time.

Another interesting alternative, is to head out of Nainital, and drive to Bhimtal, an hour away, and check into Fredy’s Bungalow – A Colonial style bungalow , for the night, surrounded by nature, which is perfect for disconnecting and reconnecting with nature. Among the many things that you can do, the best of the lot is to go hiking which also involves plenty of bird watching.

Jim Corbett National Park, the last destination on this 7 Day Uttarakhand Road Trip Itinerary, is barely 2 hours from Nainital and this would be your drive downhill back to the plains. Jim Corbett National Park, which also happens to be one of the Best National Parks in India , is famous for its jungle safari which happens early mornings and evenings. Most of the accommodation here are resorts, such as Aahana Resort and there are barely any standalone restaurants.

It is highly advisable to pre book your jungle safari as the better zones get full very easily. If you are lucky you may see tigers in the jungle but it highly depends on which zone are you in and which month you visit Jim Corbett. Don’t focus too much on tiger sightings and enjoy the deer, nilgai, and host of birds like kingfisher that would surely come your way. The overall safari experience is beautiful.

Apart from jungle safari, one can go for a village tour on foot or on a bicycle that your resort may provide. Since it’s your last day in Uttarakhand we would highly recommend taking it easy and Jim Corbett is a perfect place for that. The place has a very relaxed and laid-back vibe. Being forest area travellers are not advised to venture out in the night. That is the best time to chill in a pool or rejuvenate in a spa inside the resort.

Start after breakfast from Jim Corbett National Park and after a 5 hours drive, you will be in Delhi with your cameras full of beautiful pictures and your hearts full of amazing memories.

Uttarakhand is on my travel bucket list, and this blog just made it to the top of my bookmarks. Can’t wait to explore these incredible places in just 10 days

We have visited Uttarakhand a number of times. I have so many great memories of Nainital, Mussoirie, Kausani, Haridwar and others.

Uttarakhand is one of our favourite states. Its sheer natural beauty is mesmerizing. There are so many known and unknown gems that pull us to Uttarakhand time and again. Apart from places like Haridwar, Rishikesh, and Mussoorie, we loved visiting lesser know places like Kausani, Chaukori, and Shitalakhet among others. But there is still so much of Uttarakhand left to explore. Reading your post brought back pleasant memories of the land of the Gods.

Hii, Oh wow! This seems to be a very ideal plan for a roadtrip Arnav! In fact, now that pandemic has changed the dynamics of travel for sometime, doing this roadtrip might just be what we need, and we’ll get to put this to good use.

This sounds like the perfect week long getaway! Now that roadtrips are going to become the new norm, this will definitely help those who would like to take on Kumaon! This route especially seems ideal for a bike ride 😍

Uttarakhand is like heaven on earth. We have visited Uttarakhand a number of times. I have so many great memories of Nainital, Mussoirie, Kausani, Haridwar and others. This is a great guide and itinerary for spending a week in Uttarakhand. I would love to go back there again!

we have visited Uttarakhand a number of time, once for Kedar-Badri, next for Gangotri-Yamunotri and last time while our trek to Roopkund. This is the place we have first fallen in love with the mountains. Reading your post, brings back so many memories

For a person living in Mumbai, this guide fits best for me ! Than you for off-beat replacements for us readers and I am reading other 7 day guides right NOW!

Great article. A good mix of Garhwal and Kumaon. We’ve been to all the places you’ve mentioned and Chakrata is our favorite in all of them. Btw, which route you took from Mussoorie to Lansdowne? You did on local transport or your own vehicle?

Ooty Itinerary for 4 Days: Exploring Ooty and Nearby Places for the Weekend

Are you planning a trip to Ooty soon? If yes, then check out this Ooty itinerary for 4 days to plan an epic weekend getaway to this destination.

In this Ooty trip plan for 4 days, you can easily cover both the offbeat and popular places. As someone who has traveled to Ooty multiple times, I can assure you that it is a lot of fun to do both the touristy and non-touristy things.

A popular weekend getaway in South India, Ooty is the perfect place to head to if you are looking to spend some time in the mountains.

So, whether you are traveling with your friends or family or solo, this Ooty itinerary is going to be perfect for all kinds of plans.

And you can also spend some time in the tea plantations and learn how one of the most delicious teas is processed in Ooty.

Day 1 – Spend a Day Exploring Ooty

Depending on when you leave for Ooty, it is safe to assume that you won’t be able to explore anything other than Ooty on the first day.

I have been a couple of times here and every time, we are so tired from the journey that we end up exploring our surrounding areas.

So, a good idea would be to first check in to a hotel and rest for a while before heading out.

Thankfully, there are many good hotels in Ooty near the bus stand so you should easily find one. After you have rested and freshened up, you can head out for the following places in Ooty.

Dodabetta Peak

The highest mountain peak in the Nilgiri Hills range, Dodabetta Peak is a perfect spot to get a look at the Karnataka and Kerala borders from Tamil Nadu.

It is a crowded location but the sight of the Shola forest is definitely something to look forward to.

And you can spend around 40-50 minutes here, just enjoying the surrounding hills and forest views. There are also a few food and tea stalls here for refreshments which you can enjoy.

Although I didn’t like how commercialized this place was, I did enjoy a delicious ice cream here along with the beautiful hilly view.

How to Reach

Since it is just 9 km away from Ooty, you can easily reach here by cab or bus. An auto to this place will easily cost you around 500 INR for one side . And you can get an auto for 700-800 for the return trip including the wait.

You can also take a bus to the base of this peak which will cost you 15 INR from the Ooty Bus Stand . From the base, you will get shared taxis to the peak for 50 INR per person.

Finally, you can also take a cab which will again cost you around 700-800 INR and can also be negotiated to include a stop at the Tea Museum and Factory on the way.

After spending quality time in Dodabetta peak, you can make your way back and explore Ooty Lake next. An artificial lake that was built in 1824 , Ooty Lake is a popular boating area for tourists.

Surrounded by the Eucalyptus trees, you can enjoy different styles of boating here including padding boating, row boating, motor boating, and so on.

There are many food and entertainment stalls here to immerse yourself in. And you can also buy good woolen caps and mufflers here for yourself or your loved ones.

To reach here, you can easily take an auto from the bus stand for 100-150 INR . Or you can walk as well since it is only 1.5 km from the bus stand. I did walk here and the walk itself was so serene and peaceful.

And on the way, I met a few locals as well who were so nice and interesting to talk to and shared their life stories with me.

Nilgiri Railway Ride

One of the best things about taking a hotel in Ooty near the bus stand is that you are close to the Udhagamandalam Railway Station.

As a result, it is quite easy to go for a train ride to Coonoor and enjoy the services of the famed Nilgiri Hill Mountain Railway . So, once you are done boating in the lake, you can head to the Railway station which is just next to the bus stand.

If you plan early enough then you can get a ticket online on the IRCTC website. But if you don’t get a ticket online, then you can always get a ticket from the station.

However, you would need to arrive an hour early and stand in online to wait for the counter to open. There are a few tickets sold on the spot but they get over pretty quickly. So, make sure you are standing in front of the queue.

A second class ticket will cost you around 20-30 INR for Ooty to Coonoor and will take you through numerous tunnels and valley views on the way.

It takes around 1 hour 15 minutes to reach Coonoor and it is a completely amazing experience on the train.

I still remember our time on the train and how awestruck we were by the views passing us. Plus, since we had taken the 6 p.m. train, we also watched the sun setting down in a completely magical setting. 

Since this place is next to the bus stand, it is quite easy to reach. If you are staying in a hotel in Ooty near the bus stand, then you can simply walk to this place. Otherwise, you can get an Auto or Cab from most other locations.

Ooty Market

Finally, once you have enjoyed your amazing train ride to Coonoor, you can get a bus or a cab back to Ooty. And you can roam around the bustling Ooty market for food and shopping.

I would definitely recommend you to try out the chocolates here and the essential oils which can be found in abundance over here.

Plus, most of these essential oils are quite useful as well. You will find oils for headaches, stomachaches, skin problems, hair problems, and so on.

Apart from the chocolates and the essential oils, you will also find a variety of tea and coffee packets here. Since Ooty is quite famous for its tea, you have to try them out.

And they have a wide range of tea flavors available like jasmine tea, chocolate tea, cardamom tea, black tea, and so on.

You can easily spend 2-3 hours looking around the market and then have a nice lunch at one of the local joints like Hotel Saravana Bhavan or Amma’s Kitchen for an authentic South Indian Dosai.

If you are staying in a hotel in Ooty near the bus stand, then you can simply walk to this place. We didn’t mind walking 2-3 km in Ooty at all. Otherwise, you can get an auto or cab which can cost you anywhere between 150 – 400 INR , depending on the distance.

Day 2 – Explore the Lakes in and Around Ooty

Morning – avalanche forest reserve (avalanche lake and upper bhavani lake).

On day two, the best thing to do is to explore all the lakes around Ooty. Make sure that you start early today so that you can enjoy the places without too many tourists.

Leave your hotel around 6 – 7 a.m. as it will take approximately an hour and a half to reach the Avalanche Forest Reserve.

Here, you will go on a 45 to 60-minute tour which will cover the Cauliflower shola forest , Bhavani Amma temple, and the gorgeous Upper Bhavani reservoir .

Honestly, Upper Bhavani lake is one of the most beautiful lakes that we have witnessed in Ooty. So, I would definitely recommend you to include it in your Ooty itinerary and do spend adequate time here.

You will also find this area is surrounded by pine trees so you can spend some time admiring those as well.

Avalanche Lake itself can be found near the entrance of the Forest reserve. So, once you are done with the tour, you can head to the lakeshore and spend some time here.

The entire lake is surrounded by trees so it is quite peaceful and beautiful here. You can also enjoy a short lunch on the shore here and can just take in the dazzling view in front of you.

After spending 2-2.5 hours in the Forest Reserve, you can leave for Emerald Lake.

You will need to hire a cab as there aren’t any buses going to the Avalanche side. You might find a shared cab going to this side but you will have to struggle and wait a lot. So, unless you are traveling solo, I would definitely recommend you take a taxi.

It will charge you around 1800 – 2000 INR for 6-7 hours and will include Avalanche Forest Reserve, Emerald Lake, Vegetable Land, Tea Plantations, Toda Village, etc.

Emerald Lake

Emerald Lake is around 8.5 km from Avalanche Forest Reserve so it would take you around 30-45 minutes to reach here. A part of the Silent Valley National Park in the Nilgiri district, Emerald Lake is a perfect place for nature lovers.

Since it is a relatively secluded spot and is surrounded by a tea plantation, it is a popular picnic spot for locals. And honestly, the view from the road of the Emerald Lake and the village is quite enchanting.

Plus, we literally never saw anyone around here which was a bonus.

So, if you love spending time in nature, away from the crowds then spending a few hours in the Emerald village is the perfect way to do that.

You can rent a scooter/scooty and reach Emerald Lake. But if you don’t know how to drive a two-wheeler, then you will need to get a cab.

A cab will cost you around 1500 INR for this location . So, it will be better to get the Avalanche Forest Tour Package.

Tea Plantations and Vegetable Land

It will take you around an hour to reach Ooty from Emerald lake but before that, you have other 2-3 stops on the way. You will stop at the Tea Plantation where you will see the locals farming on their tea farms.

You can enter these farms and interact with the locals to learn more about the process. And you can even take pictures of these farms to hang at your home later on.

If you are interested, then you can even buy the tea leaves from them. They will give you authentic tea leaves which will produce the most delicious tea ever.

After the tea plantation, you will come across the Vegetable land which is quite a colorful patch on this route. Here, you can stroll around in the farms and see how the locals grow herbs, spices, fruits, vegetables , etc.

You can rent a scooter/scooty and reach this place. But if you don’t know how to drive a two-wheeler, then you will need to get a cab.

A cab will cost you around 1000 INR for this location. So, it will be better to get the Avalanche Forest Tour Package.

Toda Village

Finally, you will reach the end of your tour which is at the Toda Village. Here, you will learn about the culture and lifestyle of the Toda tribe which is an ancient Nilgiri Hills tribe.

Their major livelihood is dairy farming and they build half-barrel-shaped huts which are known as Todas.

These small huts have small doorways so that the animals cannot enter inside. Made up of bamboo and decorated with Toda artform, Toda huts are really unique and beautiful to look at.

The people in the Toda tribe wear jewelry and homemade shawls which have black and red embroidery on them.

One of the most fascinating things about this tribe is that their land is known as a UNESCO World Heritage Site .

By the time you complete all these sights, it will be around 2-3 p.m. in the afternoon and your cab will drop you off from the point where it picked you up. So, you can rest for a while before heading out in the evening again.

It is just 2 km from the Ooty Bus Stand so you can always get an auto to this place. An auto will charge you around 150 INR for this place or you can walk here too.

If you are going to Avalanche Forest then you can take the tour package which includes a visit to the Toda Village.

Tiger Hills

Since most other places near Ooty will take at least a day for you to explore, the best thing to do in the evening is to go to Tiger Hills.

A completely secluded spot from the rest of Ooty , Tiger Hills Dam is the perfect place to watch a sunset in Ooty.

Surrounded by the Shola Forest on one side and Nilgiri Hills on the other, this place is inexplicably beautiful. And the best part is that not many people come here. In fact, even we got to know about this place on our third visit.

But yes, if you are looking for some peace and secluded time in Ooty, then Tiger Hills is definitely a good place to include in your Ooty itinerary.

However, do remember that since it is near the forest, you could encounter wild boars, tahrs , etc. here. So, always be careful when you come here.

It is just 5 km from the Ooty Bus Stand so you can always get an auto to this place. An auto will charge you around 300 INR for this place or you can walk here too.

If you stay near the Tiger Hills area then walking would definitely be a good option.

Day 3 – Spend a Day in Kotagiri

Any Ooty itinerary is incomplete without spending a day in Kotagiri and I agree with that. Honestly, the best part of our Ooty trips has been the trip to Kotagiri because you see so many wonderful sights on the way.

And since most people stay in Ooty and don’t venture this far, you can actually enjoy the views in peace.

So, make sure you include Kotagiri in your Ooty itinerary if you want to enjoy some offbeat locations near Ooty.

Kotagiri is situated around 33 km from Ooty and is a perfect alternative to this crowded hill station.

Honestly, there is so much to see and do here that a day is just not enough. But if you are in Ooty for a long weekend getaway, then you might not be able to spend too much time here.

Well, not to worry, because there is a lot that you can do in just a day too. 

Kotagiri gets its name from the Kota Tribe and is actually located in the heart of the Nilgiri hills.

This small hill station is surrounded by blue mountains and shola forests which gives it a magical feel. Even the drive to Kotagiri is gorgeous with tea plantations flanking the roads on both sides.

In Kotagiri, you can walk around the village and take in the beautiful view around you. You can also take a bus to go to Kodanad Viewpoint or Catherine Falls from here.

To reach Kotagiri, you can take a cab for 2000 INR and explore this hill station at your own pace. You can also take a bus which will take 1.15 hours to reach Kotagiri and cost around 30 INR .

There is a bus leaving from the Ooty bus stand every hour for Kotagiri. But make sure that you start early since there is a lot to cover in Kotagiri.

Kodanad Viewpoint

From the Kodanad Viewpoint, you will get a beautiful view of the Nilgiri mountain range . That’s not all though, you also see Catherine Falls, Dolphin’s Nose, etc. from here too.

Although the actual viewpoint is too commercialized, the nearby area is perfect for a light stroll.

Since we aren’t too keen about being around crowds, we walked a little from the viewpoint. And we were blessed with an unobstructed view of the Rangaswamy Peak from here.

Plus, the tea plantations surrounding the roads made the whole landscape quite surreal to look at.

You will need to walk 300 m further from the Kotagiri Bus Stand to get a bus to Kodanad Viewpoint . It will take you another hour and 30 INR to reach this place but trust me, it will be completely worth it.

Kodanad Tea Estates

Kodanad Tea Estates are actually quite beautiful and are on the drive to Kotagiri. We actually walked around an hour or something before we stopped a bus.

\It was truly amazing to be walking on the road with tea plantations surrounding you on both sides.

There is only 1 bus leaving from this viewpoint every hour. So, you will need to wait before you get a bus back to Kotagiri. You can take this bus and get down wherever you want near the Kodanad Tea Estate.

On the way to Kotagiri, you will also come across a small village called Ellada. We randomly got down here because we loved the views around this place.

It was a good decision as, after 5-10 minutes, we did come across a beautiful viewpoint.

So, if you don’t mind walking a little then I would definitely recommend you to get down here. If you have your own cab then it is even better as you can stop here for a while to enjoy the views.

Catherine Waterfall

Once you are back at Kotagiri, you can head to the waterfalls nearby. There is the Elk waterfall which is situated 7 km from Kotagiri. This is a cascading waterfall that is surrounded by lush greenery.

But the most famous waterfall in Kotagiri is the Catherine Waterfall.

This waterfall is at an altitude of 250 ft . and is around 8 km from Kotagiri. The fall joins the Kallar river as it flows down and actually got the name from a Coffee Planter’s wife name.

There are a few other places like the Rangaswamy Hill, Longwood Shola Forest , etc. which you can cover. But make sure you take your time to enjoy the places and don’t be in a hurry to cover them all.

You will get a bus to both the waterfalls from the Kotagiri bus stand. The cost will be somewhere around 15-20 INR and it will take you around 20 minutes to reach.

Day 4 – Enjoy a Safari Here

Finally, on your last day of the Ooty trip, you should definitely head to the amazing Mudumalai National Park and the Pykara Lake Dam .

Unfortunately, we weren’t able to go to the National Park because we went for a weekend so we didn’t have an adequate permit with us.

But you can learn from our mistakes and get a permit beforehand so that you can include this place in your 4-day Ooty itinerary.

Mudumalai National Park

A tiger reserve that shares boundaries with neighboring states of Kerala and Karnataka, Mudumalai National Park is the home to endangered animals in India.

This park is divided into 5 sections and is home to animals like Indian leopards, Bengal tigers, etc.

This park is located on the northwestern side of Nilgiri Hills and is around 43 km from Ooty. Here, you can see the animals in their natural habitat.

With a population of 50 tigers and over 500 species of animals, reptiles, etc., this place should definitely be a part of your Ooty itinerary.

You can easily spend half a day here and enjoy a short safari. On this safari, you will also see around 266 birds here.

For the permit, you will need to go to the Forest Reserve Department in Ooty itself.

However, if you are planning a visit during the weekend, then get a permit from the Chennai office. This is because Forest Reserve Department is closed during the weekends so you won’t get a permit from here.

Note: Earlier, Mukurthi National Park was also open to tourists but it isn’t anymore. So, if you were looking to enter the park and enjoy a safari or trek there, it is not possible. You will need to have contacts in the National Park in order to enter there.

Safari Options and Timings

There are different types of safaris available, depending on your time and budget. Bus Safari costs 135 INR per person and is a 30-minute safari in total.

And the vehicle safari is available only during 6 – 10 a.m. slot and 2- 6 p.m. In the vehicle safari, you also have the option of hiring a gypsy for 3000 INR . There are only 2 gypsies available and the entrance fee is 15 INR per person along with an eco-preservation charge of 100 INR.

The cost of using a Still Camera is 25 INR and the cost of using a Video Camera is 150 INR. They also offer Elephant Safari for 1120 INR (maximum 4 people). And it is a 40-minute long safari with only two available slots: 7 – 8 a.m., and 4 – 5 p.m.

Another popular activity to do here is to go to the Elephant Camp and see how the elephants live and eat here. The entrance fee for this activity is 15 INR per person and the camp is only open from 8:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. 

You will find many cabs and taxis for Mudumalai National Park which will cost around 2000 INR . You can actually get a customized package that will include both Mudumalai and Pykara lake. Apart from that, there are a few buses heading to Mudumalai National Park as well.

But no one knows the timings so you will need to ask at the bus stand the day before.

Pykara Waterfall and Lake

After you have enjoyed some time in the Mudumalai National Park, you head to the Pykara Waterfall. This waterfall/lake will come on the way from Mudumalai to Ooty.

So, you just need to add a stop here and spend a few hours exploring and enjoying yourself.

Pykara Lake is a popular tourist spot so you will find a lot of people around here. But it is a huge place so you can easily find a quiet spot for yourself.

You can enjoy a nice lunch here by the lake or the waterfall. And if you are interested then you can also do boating here.

You will easily spend an hour or two, relaxing beside the waterfall and the lake. And you can even dip your feet in the cool water here before heading back to Ooty.

You can get a customized taxi package for Pykara lake which will cost around 800-1000 INR .

Apart from that, there are a few buses heading to Pykara Lake so you can opt for those too. It will cost around 30-50 INR by bus to reach Pykara Lake .

Once you reach back to Ooty, you can start your return journey, depending on your travel mode. If you are taking a bus to some nearby place then you can go to the bus stand and get a bus from here.

Most Volvo buses leave from near the Railway Station so they will be easy to find and are quite comfortable as well.

I have been to Ooty thrice now and each time, I have had wonderful memories of this place. And the best part is that there is so much to explore that you never get bored.

In fact, I have discovered so many places in and around Ooty because I have visited this place three times.

So, although a 4-day Ooty itinerary is not sufficient to explore the mysteries of this hill station. But it is definitely a good way for you to start exploring this wonderful place.

If you think we are missing out on some important place in this Ooty itinerary, then do let us know in the comments.

Overhyped destination. Visited Few months back. Very poor & narrow roads leading to traffic congestion. Very limited restaurants. No proper eateries. Ooty has failed to live up to its name as a tourist solace.

That’s true, precisely why I prefered Kotagiri 6 years back as well. 🙂

How strong is a 4.8 earthquake? Quake magnitudes explained.

The 4.8 magnitude earthquake that struck New Jersey on Friday generated shaking that could be felt from Washington, D.C., to north of Boston.

About 55 earthquakes a day – 20,000 a year – are recorded by the National Earthquake Information Center . Most are tiny and barely noticed by people living where they happen. Click here to see the USDA shake map for the most recent earthquakes.

Worldwide, there are on average about 16 major earthquakes in any given year, 15 in the magnitude 7.0 range and one 8.0 or greater, according to records going back to 1900.

The United States typically has around 63 earthquakes between magnitude 5.0 and 5.9 each year, according to the U.S. Geological Survey , about five between 6.0 and 6.9 and fewer than one between 7.0 and 7.9.

A major 7.4-magnitude earthquake hit Taiwan on Wednesday morning , killing 12 people and injuring over 1,000. The strongest earthquake there in a quarter century was followed by a series of aftershocks, reaching up to 6.4 magnitude.

More earthquakes are being recorded around the globe, but that doesn’t mean there are more earthquakes happening , according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Instead, it’s because there are more measurement devices, called seismometers, that record vibrations and they have been deployed in more places.

Earthquakes are a natural part of life on Earth, a geologically active planet with seven major tectonic plates. These are continent-size slabs of rock that glide over the planet’s mantle, constantly but very slowly reshaping Earth’s landscape.

What does magnitude mean in an earthquake?

Magnitude is a measurement of the strength of an earthquake . Officially it's called the moment magnitude scale . It's a logarithmic scale , meaning each number is 10 times as strong as the one before it. So a 5.2 earthquake is moderate, while a 6.2 is strong.

The magnitude and effect of an earthquake, according to Michigan Technological University :

• Below 2.5: Generally not felt
• 2.5 to 5.4: Minor or no damage
• 5.5 to 6.0: Slight damage to buildings
• 6.1 to 6.9: Serious damage
• 8.0 or greater: Massive damage, can destroy communities

Intensity scales, measured in Roman numerals, are used to describe how strong the earthquake felt to people in the area.

According to the California Earthquake Authority , an intensity of I is typically felt only under especially favorable conditions. An intensity of IV, which leads to light shaking, is felt indoors by many, but not typically outdoors. It might awaken some people at night and lead to a sensation like a truck striking a building. A parked car would rock. Intensities VI and above would be strong, frightening and felt by all, with the damage increasing up to an X, where the shaking would be violent. Some well-built wooden structures would be destroyed and most masonry and frame structures along with their foundations would be ruined.

You might have heard the term " the Richter Scale " used to describe earthquakes, but it is no longer commonly used because it was only valid for certain earthquake frequencies and distance ranges.

Why does an earthquake's depth matter?

Magnitude measures how strong a quake is. That said, how much the ground shakes depends on an earthquake's intensity, which in turn depends on two things: how far away the actual site of the temblor was and the kind of soil it which it occurs.

This is why an earthquake's depth is often given. The epicenter of the Northridge earthquake in Los Angeles in 1994 was in the San Fernando Valley, the point where the quake was strongest. But the hypocenter , the location where the quake actually occurred, was more than 11 miles underground. If it had been closer to the surface, the 6.7 magnitude quake would have been even more devastating.

The type of ground matters , too. Bedrock shakes least, sand and gravel as much as two times more, and mud and landfill as much as five times more. This was a major factor in why some areas of San Francisco suffered more than others in the Loma Prieta quake of 1989 .

Why real earthquakes aren't like in the movies

Though movies like " San Andreas" and "Earthquake" show entire coastlines dropping into the ocean, it's not going to happen.

According to the U.S. Geological Service, while a "mega-quake" with a magnitude of 10 or larger is "theoretically possible," it's very unlikely .

The magnitude of an earthquake depends in part on the length of the geological fault on which the quake occurs. Longer faults result in stronger earthquakes.

There are no known faults capable of generating a magnitude 10 or larger. The San Andreas fault of movie fame couldn't produce a quake larger than about 8.3 given its length, according to the USGS.

The largest earthquake in U.S. history was the 1964 Good Friday quake in Alaska , a 9.2 magnitude temblor that killed 131 people. It lasted four and a half minutes and ran along the Aleutian fault.

What's the chance of an aftershock?

Any time there's an earthquake, one concern is that it was merely a foreshock to a bigger quake that's coming.

Globally, the probability that one earthquake will be followed by a large earthquake within three days is somewhere just over 6%, according to the USGS .

That means whenever there's an earthquake, there's about a 94% chance that it wasn't a foreshock and there won't be any more quakes linked to it.

The numbers are a little different for California, which is very seismically active. There, about half of the biggest earthquakes were preceded by foreshocks, according to the USGS. But that means half were not.

Unfortunately, it's impossible to know if any one quake is a foreshock.

Aftershocks  are defined as smaller earthquakes that happen in days after a larger quake. As the USGS puts it, they represent "minor readjustments along the portion of a fault that slipped at the time of the mainshock."

Train drivers strike for third time in four days

Members of the Aslef union are walking out in an almost two-year dispute over pay with no sign of a breakthrough.

News reporter @niamhielynch

Monday 8 April 2024 08:20, UK

Passengers on some of the UK's busiest rail routes will face travel chaos on Monday as train drivers are set to strike for the third time in four days.

Members of Aslef will walk out resulting in significant reductions in services, especially in East Anglia and the South East.

Train strikes: Full list of who will strike when

Aslef is embroiled in a near two-year long dispute over pay, with no sign of a breakthrough and no talks planned.

The strike will hit c2c, Gatwick Express, Greater Anglia, Southeastern, Southern, South Western Railway, Great Northern and Thameslink.

What train operators are affected?

No c2c trains will run on Monday, with its managing director Rob Mullen saying he was "really disappointed" an agreement hadn't been reached.

"The impact of this ongoing action is significant for our customers and colleagues," he said.

"I'm hopeful that further meetings with the unions are productive and see progress made toward concluding this challenging time for the railway."

Gatwick Express

There will be no Gatwick Express services but Gatwick Airport will continue to be served by the limited non-stop Southern shuttle.

Great Northern

There will be no Great Northern services on Monday.

Greater Anglia

Greater Anglia said its first trains of the day will start later and last trains finish earlier than normal, excluding the Stansted Express.

An hourly train service will operate on the following Greater Anglia routes: Norwich/Colchester and London Liverpool Street, Southend Victoria and London Liverpool Street, and Stansted Airport and London Liverpool Street

A bi-hourly train service will run between Cambridge and London.

No other Greater Anglia services will operate on any other routes.

Southeastern

The operator said most of its routes and stations will be closed. There will be an extremely limited service where trains are running and the operator advised customers not to travel.

A statement said: "If you do travel, expect severe disruption, plan ahead and allow much more time for your journey.

"Trains that are running will be extremely busy, they start later and finish early.

"You may be unable to board trains at some stations, and we estimate that there could be queues for up to two hours due to the very limited service.

"Only 29 out of 165 Southeastern stations will be open. No rail replacement buses will serve stations that are closed."

Southern said there will be no trains running across the vast majority of its network, with a limited shuttle service running non-stop between London Victoria and Gatwick Airport.

South Western Railway

South Western Railway said a significantly reduced service will operate on a small number of lines, while the rest of its network will be closed.

Trains will only run between 7am and 7pm.

There will be no Thameslink services running, except for a limited shuttle service calling at Luton, Luton Airport Parkway and London St Pancras and another limited non-stop shuttle service between London Kings Cross and Cambridge.

The union says the dispute has cost the industry over £2bn, far more than it would have cost to resolve the conflict.

Aslef members at 16 train companies are also banning overtime on Monday and Tuesday which will further disrupt services.

Picket lines will be mounted outside the railway stations of operators affected by the strike.

Aslef general secretary Mick Whelan said his members remained solidly behind the industrial action and criticised the government and rail companies for the lack of contact over the past year.

The government introduced a new law last year aimed at ensuring minimum levels of service during strikes, but none of the train companies have opted to use it.

A Rail Delivery Group spokesperson said: "Train companies are working through plans to manage the unnecessary disruption to our passengers caused by this damaging industrial action.

"Minimum service levels are one potential tool for that but they are not a silver bullet.

"In the meantime, we remain committed to resolving this dispute and our offer, which would take average driver salaries to £65,000 for a four-day week without overtime, remains on the table."

Biden is canceling $7.4 billion in student debt for 277,000 borrowers. Here's who is eligible.

By Aimee Picchi

Edited By Alain Sherter

April 12, 2024 / 8:28 AM EDT / CBS News

The Biden administration on Friday said it's canceling $7.4 billion in student debt for 277,000 borrowers, with the recipients scheduled to receive emails today to alert them to their loan discharges. 

The latest effort extends the debt relief provider under President Joe Biden after the Supreme Court last year blocked  his administration's plan for broad-based student loan forgiveness. With the latest batch of loan cancellations, the White House said it has forgiven about $153 billion in debt for 4.3 million student borrowers. 

Biden, who had made student loan relief a major campaign pledge, is tackling an issue that affects about 43 million Americans with a combined  $1.7 trillion in student debt. It's a burden that some borrowers and their advocates say has harmed their ability to save for a home or achieve financial milestones, an issue that was echoed by Education Secretary Miguel Cardona in a conference call with reporters. 

"I talked to a teacher in New York this week who took out a loan for $30,000," Cardona said Friday, "and after over a decade of paying and being a teacher the debt was $60,000, and she was saying that the interest was so high that the payments that she was making wasn't even touching her principal."

He added, "We are fixing a broken system. We're relentless and taking steps to transform a broken system into one that works people across the country."

Here's what to know about who is eligible for the latest round of forgiveness.

Who qualifies for the student loan forgiveness?

Three groups of people qualify under the latest round of debt relief, the White House said. 

• $3.6 billion for 206,800 borrowers enrolled in the SAVE plan.

About $3.6 billion will be forgiven for nearly 207,000 borrowers enrolled in the Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) plan, an income-driven repayment program, or IDR, that the Biden administration created last year. 

The White House said borrowers who are getting their debt discharged under SAVE had taken out smaller loans for their college studies. The plan allows people to receive forgiveness after they made at least 10 years of payments if they originally took out $12,000 or less in loans to pay for college; borrowers with larger loans are eligible after 20 or 25 years of repayment, depending on what types of loans they have. 

 "You sacrifice and you've saved for a decade or more to make your student loan payments, and you originally borrowed $12,000 or less, you're going to see relief," Cardona told reporters. "An overwhelming number of those who qualify for SAVE were eligible for Pell grants and come from low- and middle-income communities."

• $3.5 billion for 65,700 borrowers in income-repayment plans.

These borrowers will receive forgiveness through "administrative adjustments" to repayment plans where loan servicers had made it tougher for some borrowers to qualify for relief.  

"These are people who paid for a long time but were being deprived of relief because of administrative and servicing failures," Cardona said. "These people met the contract of their loan" and will receive forgiveness.

• $300 million for 4,600 borrowers through Public Service Loan Forgiveness (PSLF).  

The PSLF program is designed to help public servants like teachers and government employees achieve debt forgiveness after 10 years of repayment. It's a program that started in 2007 but had been plagued with complex rules that effectively hampered people from getting their debt discharged, with only 7,000 receiving loan forgiveness prior to the Biden administration. 

With the latest round of discharges, the Biden administration has forgiven $62.8 billion in loans for 876,000 borrowers through PSLF. 

Are there legal challenges to Biden's debt forgiveness plans?

In two separate lawsuits, Republican attorneys general in 18 states are pushing to have the SAVE plan tossed and to halt any further student debt cancellation. They say the SAVE plan oversteps Biden's authority and makes it harder for states to recruit employees. They also contend the plan undermines a separate cancellation program that encourages careers in public service.

It's unclear what the suits could mean for loans that have already been canceled. A court document filed by Kansas' attorney general says it's "unrealistic to think that any loan forgiveness that occurs during this litigation will ever be clawed back."

Solar eclipse 2024: Follow the path of totality

Thinking of taking a last-minute drive to see the eclipse here's what to know.

RV traffic sits at a standstill along a two-lane road near Madras, Ore., a few days before the 2017 total solar eclipse. Experts say traffic could be heavy, but eclipse watchers shouldn't necessarily be deterred.

NASA says that roughly 31.6 million people live in the path of this year's total solar eclipse, and a little under half of the U.S. population lives within 200 miles driving distance of the path of totality .

That could mean many millions of Americans will hit the road to get a better view on April 8. If you're still pondering whether or not you want to make the journey, here's what to consider.

Have some destinations in mind, and check the weather and cloud cover forecasts in advance

It's a good idea to scout out one or more locations within driving distance, so that you have some flexibility if traffic or weather is threatening your plans, says Jonathan Upchurch, a professor emeritus of civil engineering at Arizona State University who has studied travel around solar eclipses.

There are several interactive tools that show the path of totality, including Eclipse2024.org and the National Solar Observatory . You can use them to figure out what sites might work best for you.

In terms of weather, check not just the weather forecast, but also the cloud cover forecast. Some websites, such as Windy.com will predict cloud cover ahead of time, giving you a sense of whether you'll actually be able to see the eclipse in all its glory.

Everything you need to know about solar eclipse glasses before April 8

During the total solar eclipse in 2017, Upchurch says he chose to go to Idaho "because there were some great chances of having sunny skies, and I had the opportunity to be nimble and relocate if I wanted to."

Before driving into the path of totality, make sure your gas tank is full and that you've got everything you need

During the last total solar eclipse in 2017, it's estimated some 5 million people took to the roads, and those numbers will potentially be much higher this year.

Given all that, Upchurch says it's important to make sure you're taking what you need into the path of totality. You should make sure your car is gassed or charged up, and that you have plenty of snacks and water with you in case you get stranded for a while, especially when trying to leave.

Solar Eclipse 2024: Totality stretches from Texas to Maine

Simple tips to safely photograph the eclipse with your cellphone.

Also don't forget to bring eclipse glasses, which must be worn anytime you're looking at the sun, except for the few minutes when it is completely blocked by the moon.

Some state emergency planners also recommend bringing a paper map or road atlas in case cellular networks become overloaded with visitors seeking directions from their phones.

Don't forget your eclipse glasses everyone!

Arrive early and stay late

Once you figure out where you're going to watch the eclipse, and you've got your supplies, try to get there early. Although traffic is likely to be heavier than normal on the morning of eclipse day, it still should be possible to reach many destinations without too much hassle, says Upchurch.

"Leaving is definitely going to be more of a problem," he says. As the eclipse concludes, people will take to the roads all at once to try and get home as fast as they can. In 2017, that led to traffic jams that lasted many hours in some areas. If possible, Upchurch says, people should stay put for a while to try and avoid the worst of the post-eclipse rush, which in 2017 stretched even into the following day in some parts of the country.

Here's what time the eclipse will be visible in your region

And one more thing: If you do find yourself on the move near the time of the eclipse, state officials stress that you should not simply pull over to the side of the road or highway you're driving on. It's important to be parked legally and safely at the moment of totality.

If you're already in the path of totality: Relax and enjoy!

Several major metropolitan areas including Dallas, Indianapolis, Cleveland and Buffalo are already inside the path of totality, so there's no need to seek a better view, Upchurch says. You'll probably have the most fun simply staying where you are.

Shots - Health News

Watching a solar eclipse without the right filters can cause eye damage. here's why.

If you're on the edge of the path of totality, however, you might consider making a short trip to get closer to the center of the eclipse's path.

"If you're within about 40 miles of the center line, you'll have two-and-a-half minutes or more" of complete totality, Upchurch says. It's up to you to decide whether it's worth making the trip to a more central location.

Despite studying the potential hassles of traveling extensively, Upchurch says he's still looking forward to seeing the 2024 eclipse, which he plans to watch from Texas.

"Totality is absolutely spectacular," he says. "If you have a chance to witness it, I would do it."

Masters tickets: How to get 2025 Masters tickets at Augusta National

Brooks Koepka putts on the 9th green during the first round of the 2024 Masters at Augusta National Golf Club.

AUGUSTA, Ga. — If you’re watching the Masters on TV and wondering how you can get your own 2025 Masters tickets and score a trip to Augusta National Golf Club , then let this be your handy guide.

How to get 2025 Masters tickets

Let’s get one thing straight — not just anyone can snag Masters tickets . You have to apply via the Masters ticket lottery. To do so, go to the Masters Tickets page here , log in to your account (if you have applied before) or create a new account.

You can’t technically apply now, since the application window is June 1-20, 2024. So make sure to remember the date; the Masters website also gives you the option to set a calendar reminder, which you’d be smart to do.

The Masters has a ‘mystery beer.’ We tried to find its origin

Once the lottery opens, you simply select the number of tickets you are requesting — 1-4 for practice rounds and 1-2 for tournament rounds — and for the day(s) you want to attend. You can apply for just one day or all of them, but if you win you’ll only be selected for one.

Tickets for 2024 were $100 for practice rounds and $140 for tournament rounds. Prices for 2025 have yet to be announced, but even if the price increases it will be modest, like most years. You won’t be asked to pay for tickets until you are notified via email that you won them, which usually happens in mid-July. (And if you didn’t win, you’ll find out then too.)

That’s it. So set your reminder for June so you can apply (and for more information, click here ).

And worst case, if you don’t get tickets, you can still gain access to Augusta National and the Masters, but it’s going to cost you. There’s a ton of hospitality offerings, like Map & Flag , the Masters’ new high-end facility that debuted this week across the street. Although that price ($17,000) does a little more damage to your bank account than winning the Masters ticket lottery.
