Start your day with a 7 km (4.3 miles) uphill trail to the highest peak in Nilgiri Mountains, Doddabetta. This will take approximately 3 hours. Experience the fresh air and the stunning views of surrounding hills and Ooty town from the peak. After taking in the view, stop at the tea shop for a hot cup of tea and some snacks. After taking a break, head down the hill to the Botanical Gardens. These gardens are famous for their variety of plants and flowers. Spend the afternoon exploring the gardens and take a boat ride in the pond. In the evening, head to the Ooty Lake and try your hand at fishing or take a boat ride.
Start your day early and drive to Mudumalai National Park. Participate in an off-roading adventure in the park and see the wildlife up close. This activity takes approximately 2-3 hours. After the adventure, take a guided tour of the park to see the animals in their natural habitat. After the tour, enjoy lunch at a local restaurant near the park. In the afternoon, visit Pykara Falls. Spend some time enjoying the scenic views and taking a dip in the falls. In the evening, take the 30-minute toy train ride from Ooty to Coonoor.
