Begin your trip exploring the beautiful Ooty Botanical Gardens, which covers over 22 hectares of exotic and indigenous plants. Take a leisurely stroll through the well-maintained gardens and enjoy the peaceful scenery. Don't miss the fossil tree that is believed to be more than 20 million years old. This is a perfect spot for family photos.
On day two, head to the Doddabetta Peak, the highest point in Tamil Nadu, standing at over 2,600 meters above sea level. The scenic drive up the mountain takes you through tea plantations and offers spectacular views of the surrounding landscape. The top of the peak has a telescope house that offers a panoramic view of the surrounding valley.
Finish off your trip to Ooty with a relaxing visit to the unique Thread Garden, which features fascinating artificial flowers and plants, all made from colourful thread. This magnificent collection is like nothing else you've ever seen and is perfect for kids and adults alike. You can also buy souvenirs made from thread as mementos of your trip.
For more adventure, add the Ooty Rose Garden to your Day 1 route and Ooty Lake to your Day 3. These places are family-friendly and worth the visit. If you have more time, visit the Sims Park and Lamb's Rock in Coonoor for scenic views of the Nilgiri mountains.
