“I just don’t get Ooty,” said a young photographer. “What is it about this place that people rave about so much?” “Maybe Ooty doesn’t get you,“ was the response from Anne.
Anne aka Anita Nanjapa is the founder of Amble with Anne, a venture in which she takes tourists on walks around the hill station and its heritage spots. A national level co-driver and navigator at motor rallies for 22 years, she relocated to Udhagamandalam, her hometown, then launched tailored walks for locals and vistors; each route unraveling different aspects of the town ensconced amid tea gardens and hills.
The Untravel Show, a recent YouTube video by a participant, has turned the spotlight on her. Anne, however, prefers to be incognito and wants the genuine walker to seek her out. “I am just this older person in the hills who likes to walk and tell stories,” she says.
