India: Ooty, Darjeeling or Shimla

I wish to spend about 18 days at some hill stations in India. What is
the best alternative out of Shimla, Darjeeling and Ooty?

They are miles apart, basicly three different corners of India,
I would choose between Darj and Ooty.

Darj has UN Heritage train, one of a kind, no tunnels, but switchbacks,
once there, the place has mountain aura,Tibetan culture,
Kanchenchonga view, heavy trekking possible.

Ooty or Coonor have nice very old rack/pinion driven train,
lot of tunnels,bridges.
The upper plain are rolling hills,tea plantations, easy hiking,nice
flora
not as cold as Darjelling.

Better try Kodaikanal in Tamilnadu instead of Ooty.

Depends on what are you looking for --- what is your idea of spending
time.
