6. Ooty: The Queen of Hills
A great place for a rejuvenating vacation and peaceful retirement. It is one of the best places for recreational activities, such as trekking, boating, strolls, and cycle rides in and around the town and parks, etc. Ooty is the Queen of Hill Stations in South India, and a great example for life at a hill station. Most importantly, the air quality in Ooty is pure and the food and vegetables are the best in quality and taste you can get anywhere in India.

Property Price in Ooty and Bank Home Loans: The property rates in Ooty are somewhat cheap compared to other hill stations and you can get a good bungalow with extensive landscaping at affordable rates. You can get easy loan options to fund your retirement home. The villas at Winterlake Ooty are my personal favorite which will cost you around 1.5 Cr onwards.
