On the second day, head to the Thread Garden, a garden that showcases artificial flowers and plants made of thread. Take a guided tour to learn about the art of creating the beautiful displays. Afterward, drive to the Doddabetta Peak, the highest mountain peak in the Nilgiri Hills. Enjoy the panoramic view of the valley from the top.
Conclude your nature tour with a visit to the Botanical Garden, a 55-acre garden that features over a thousand species of plants. Explore the fossil tree trunk and take a leisurely walk in the garden. End your trip with a stop at the Emerald Lake, a serene lake tucked between tea gardens and rolling hills. Relax by the lake and take in the natural beauty.
If you have more time, add a visit to the Pykara Waterfalls and the Sims Park. If you have less time, skip the visit to the Thread Garden. Make sure to pack comfortable shoes and clothes as you will be doing a lot of walking. Also, bring sunscreen, insect repellent, and a refillable water bottle.
