Admire the vibrant flower beds and the fossilized trunk of a tree estimated to be over 20 million years old. Afternoon time at the garden provides a perfect opportunity to have a family picnic and savor the natural beauty. In the evening, enjoy a leisurely walk in the garden while savoring the fresh air and beautiful sunset.

  2. Day 2: Doddabetta Peak
    45 minutes (10.5 km) from Botanical Garden

    Start early and drive to the highest peak in Nilgiri Mountains - Doddabetta Peak. The peak offers an unparalleled view of the surrounding landscape, including a panoramic view of Ooty. Afternoon time can be spent at the nearby tea factory, learning about the tea-making process, and indulging in some tea-tasting. In the evening, take a stroll around Ooty Lake and enjoy the picturesque view. Option to end the day with a boat ride on the lake.

Recommendations

Other places to explore include the Rose Garden and Pykara Falls, which are both closed during July. A side trip to Coonoor, a nearby town, is highly recommended for its tea plantations, Sim’s Park, and Lambs Rock.
