As a colonial-era hill station, Ooty has several historic churches. Attend a Sunday service at the oldest of these, St Stephen’s church. It was built in 1829 in a Gothic architectural style, and has wooden beams from Tipu Sultan’s palace in Srirangapatnam. There’s a cemetery next door, with intriguing inscriptions. If you’re interested in colonial history and architecture, check out the Gothic-style Union church and the Tudor-style Holy Trinity Church.
