点评:We had a lovely experience with Amble with Anne on a heritage walk through St. Stephen’s Church, the old cemetery with English and Parsi graves, including those of Field Marshal Sam Maneckshaw and his wife Silloo, the Nilgiri Library, and the Parsi Anjuman, amongst others.
Anne is an exceptional storyteller — she shares history not as a list of dates and facts, but as living stories woven through people, places, and time. Her knowledge of Ooty’s colonial past, its communities, and hidden corners is remarkable.
The walk is unhurried, thoughtfully curated, and filled with quiet moments that help you see Ooty in a completely new way.
Each stop felt meaningful — whether it was learning about the architecture of St. Stephen’s, the quiet dignity of the cemeteries, or the colonial history of Ootacamund and the native tribes. Anne’s pace was relaxed and engaging, giving us time to take it all in and ask questions.
If you’re interested in history, culture, or simply want to explore Ooty beyond the usual tourist trail, this walk is a must. Highly recommended!
翻译:我们和Amble一起,带着Anne一起进行了一次美好的文化遗产徒步之旅,参观了圣斯蒂芬教堂、埋葬着英国人和帕西人坟墓的古老墓地(其中包括陆军元帅Sam Maneckshaw和他的妻子Silloo的坟墓)、尼尔吉里图书馆以及帕西人安朱曼(Parsi Anjuman)等等。
Anne是一位杰出的讲故事者——她讲述的历史并非以日期和事实的列表形式呈现,而是以人物、地点和时间交织的鲜活故事形式呈现。她对乌提的殖民历史、其社区以及隐秘角落的了解令人叹为观止。
徒步之旅从容不迫,精心策划,充满了静谧的时刻,让您以全新的视角看待乌提。
每一次停留都意义非凡——无论是了解圣斯蒂芬教堂的建筑风格、墓地的宁静庄严,还是了解乌塔卡蒙德及其原住民部落的殖民历史。Anne的讲解节奏轻松而引人入胜,让我们有时间细细品味,并提出问题。
如果你对历史、文化感兴趣,或者只是想探索乌提,而不是常规的旅游路线,那么这条徒步路线绝对不容错过。强烈推荐!
