With the decision to require e-pass for entry, the number of tourists to the Nilgiris has decreased significantly. The entrance fee in the gardens has been increased by three times. There has been a huge drop in the number of tourists here.
Most tourists arrive on Saturdays and Sundays, which are holidays. But yesterday there was no rush anywhere in Ooty. E-pass will come into force from tomorrow. No fee is charged for e-Pass. Only e-pass holders will be allowed at the check post. Those who do not have a pass will not be allowed through the check post. E-pass registration is mandatory from May 7 to June 30.
