Udhagamandalam is also known as Ootacamund or Ooty . It is a district capital of the Nilgiris district and located 80 km north of Coimbatore. It was originally a tribal land and was occupied by the Todas along with other tribes who coexisted through specialisation and trade. The major tribes of Nilgiri area are Todas, Kotas, Badagas and Alu Kurumbas, who also settled in and around Ooty. The area came under the rule of the East India Company at the end of the 18th century. Today Ootacamund is a popular hill station and draws a large number of tourists every year. Lofty mountains, great lakes, dense forests, sprawling grasslands, miles of tea gardens and eucalyptus trees greet the visitors en route to Ooty. There are a few Toda huts on the hills above Botanical Garden, where Todas still dwell. There are other Toda settlements in the area, notably Kandal Mund near Old Ooty.
