Rise early and pack a backpack with water, snacks, and sunscreen for a challenging trek to the highest peak in the Nilgiris. Enjoy the beautiful views of the tea gardens, the pine forests, and the surrounding hills on the way to the top. It takes 3 hours to reach the summit, which offers a stunning viewpoint of Ooty and beyond. Descend back and grab a quick lunch before heading to the next stop.
A thrilling adventure awaits you at the Mudumalai National Park. Rent a mountain bike and follow the trails that wind through the lush forest and grasslands. Keep your eyes peeled for elephants, deer, and tigers as you navigate through the terrain. Experienced riders can try the more challenging routes, while beginners can stick to the easier trails. Take a break and indulge in a picnic lunch in the park.
Take part in adrenaline-pumping water sports at Pykara river. After a quick check-in at the rafting camp, get ready for an exciting session of rafting in the Class II to Class IV rapids. The trained guides accompanied you throughout the session. The rapids have different difficulty levels and require you to adapt your path across the water. The 90-minutes stretch offers fantastic views of the forest and hills. Reward yourself with a hot cup of tea after an exhilarating session before departing from the camp.
If you have more time, add a visit to the Ooty Botanical Gardens and the Wax Museum. If you have less time, skip mountain biking and opt for a shorter trek to the Toda huts or the tea garden view point. Keep insect repellents, warm clothings and wet clothes in waterproof bags for safety.
