In the morning, enjoy a scenic drive to Elk Falls View Point. The 360-degree view of the valley and the waterfall from the viewing platform is breathtaking. Take a light hike to get a closer look at the falls. In the afternoon, head over to the Catherine Water Falls, a double-cascade waterfall. Trek down to the falls and witness its beauty. In the evening, visit the Kodanad View Point to catch the stunning sunset.
Start your day early and trek up the Rangaswamy Peak. The trek may be challenging, but the view at the top is worth it. The peak gives an excellent view of the surrounding valleys and hills. In the afternoon, visit the Law's Falls, a picturesque waterfall. Take a refreshing dip in the natural pool or have a picnic by the falls. Before the day ends, stop by the John Sullivan Memorial, a tribute to the founder of Kothagiri.
If you have more time, take a day trip to Ooty, the "Queen of Hill Stations". The Botanical Garden, Ooty Lake, and Doddabetta Peak are a must-visit. For adventure seekers, try zip-lining, rock climbing, and camping in the nearby towns. Do not miss trying the local cuisine, including the famous "thalayatti bommai" sweet and "podi dosa".
