Shooting Spot (Ninth Mile)
Shooting Medu
Rolling grassy slopes on the Pykara road, named after the many films shot here. Wide views over hills and forest.
The shooting spot lies about 9 miles from Ooty on the way to Pykara. It is a rolling high-altitude meadow, surrounded by eucalyptus groves and distant ridges, with wide views. Bollywood and Tamil films often shoot song-and-dance sequences here. It is now a regular stop on the western tour, where visitors can go horseback riding or eat grilled corn. Entry is very cheap, and about 30 minutes is enough for a visit.
