Start your Ooty adventure with a visit to the Ooty Lake. While the serene, picturesque lake is perfect for a leisurely stroll, it also offers exciting adventures like paddle boating, row boating and even motor boating. However, make sure to check the weather conditions before opting for motor boating. You can spend a few hours here, soaking in the fresh air and scenic beauty.
Start your day early and head over to the Doddabetta Peak, the highest point in Ooty. With stunning panoramic views of the valley and rolling hills that stretch far and wide, Doddabetta Peak is a must-visit destination on your trip to Ooty. Trek your way up to the peak or drive up to the view-point, either way, the breathtaking sights and clean, fresh air will leave you mesmerised.
Day 3 of your trip to Ooty calls for heading towards the Avalanche Lake, a scenic, natural lake that's sure to take your breath away. The beautiful landscape around the lake is perfect for a trek, and with the stunning views it offers, you'll find the journey just as rewarding as the destination. You can also opt for fishing, camping or simply enjoying a relaxing picnic by the lakeside.
For the final day of your adventurous Ooty trip, head over to the Mudumalai National Park located on the Ooty-Mysore road. Famous for its rich biodiversity and a wide range of exotic animals such as Bengal Tigers, Indian Leopards, Indian Bison, and more, the sanctuary offers an exciting jungle safari that takes you through the thick and lush forest, for a truly thrilling experience.
If you have an extra day to spare, you can visit the Ooty Botanical Gardens, home to a range of exotic plants and flowers. Another must-visit for adventure enthusiasts is the Ketti Valley Viewpoint, offering beautiful views of the valley, along with trekking and camping opportunities.
If you are short on time, you can skip the Mudumalai National Park and instead visit the Pykara Falls for a refreshing change. However, the falls have restricted access during the monsoon season, so check the weather beforehand.
