Escape the hustle and bustle of city life and visit the beautiful Government Botanical Garden. Admire the stunning variety of Ooty's local flora and fauna in a serene and tranquil environment. Take a relaxing stroll amongst the lush greenery, and don't forget to snap some pictures for your Instagram feed. If you're feeling peckish, there is a small canteen on the premises.
Take a leisurely boat ride on the serene Ooty Lake, which is surrounded by majestic mountains on all sides. You can also enjoy fishing or paddling on the lake, or simply relax in the scenic surroundings. You can also take a short walk on the well-maintained walking paths, or have a picnic with your loved ones on the grassy areas near the lake.
Get an amazing panoramic view of Ooty from the highest peak in the Nilgiri range- Doddabetta Peak. Enjoy the cool breeze atop the hill station and check out the biodiversity park that lies there too. Don't forget your camera, and grab some souvenirs at the nearby store to remember this trip.
End your trip with a visit to the scenic Pykara Waterfalls nestled amidst the lush greenery. Dip your feet in the cold waters of the river and breathe the freshness of the forest air. A perfect place to relax and get away from it all.
If you have an extra day, consider visiting the Rose Garden, a beautiful and peaceful garden with colourful rose beds. For a more adventurous day, check out Tiger Hill, where you can challenge yourself with a trek up the steep peaks. If limited on time, consider keeping the first two-day itinerary only to explore Ooty Lake and Government Botanical Garden. Also, avoid the rainy season for the best experience.
