Spend the morning exploring the beautiful Botanical Gardens, spread over 55 acres of land containing rare trees, shrubs, and plants. Stroll through Italian and Japanese gardens or relax by the lily pond. A perfect place to unwind and escape the hustle and bustle of Ooty.
Start your day with a visit to the Doddabetta Peak, standing at 8,650 feet above sea level, the highest point in the Nilgiri Mountains. Marvel at the breathtaking panoramic views of the valley from the top. You can also enjoy a hot cup of tea or coffee while taking in the view from the tea shop at the top.
End your trip with a relaxing boat ride on the Ooty Lake. Surrounded by eucalyptus trees, this artificial lake was built in 1825 and offers serene and scenic views. Enjoy a picnic on the banks of the lake or indulge in some local snacks at the various food stalls. Unwind with a book, breathe in the fresh air, and let Ooty work its magic on you.
If you have an extra day, consider visiting the Ooty Rose Garden, featuring thousands of varieties of roses and other exotic plants, or the Pykara Waterfall, located 20km from Ooty. For a shorter trip, you can skip Doddabetta Peak. In case it rains, carry an umbrella or a raincoat to enjoy Ooty's beauty even during the monsoons.
