Ooty Located in the Western ghats at a height of 2240m, Udhagamandalam is the headquarters of the Nilgiris district where the two ghats ranges meet. Nature has been generous with this region, which is by far the most beautiful in the state. Apart from coffee and tea plantations, trees like confiers, eucalptus, pine and wattle dot the hillside in Udhagamandalam and its encirons. Summer temperature is rarely higher than 25\u00b0c with a minimum of 10\u00b0c and winter is are distinctly cooler with a high of 21\u00b0c and a low 5\u00b0c. Curiously enough, this slice of paradise remained unknown to the great southern dynasties and it took the British to discover it in the early 1800. They were, however, not the first inhabitants of this land as a tribe called Todas had been living there long before the British came, claiming that the Nilgiris had been their home since time immemorial. But the credit for modernizing Udhagamandalam and making it accessible goes to the British who constructed the first railway line in the area and made it the summer capital of the Madras Presidency<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/DSC04445.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-8960\" src=\"http:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/DSC04449-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"DSC04449\" width=\"219\" height=\"164\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"  wp-image-8959 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/fsl-india.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/DSC04445-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"DSC04445\" width=\"219\" height=\"164\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During GTG we done lots of activities: Host family skit presentation &#8211; To know\/measure the depth of Intercultural learning, to know the contribution of ICL by HF to the volunteers and vice-versa (contribution of volunteers to HF).
