Start your day by visiting the Mudumalai National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary, a vast natural reserve where you can see a variety of animals, including tigers, elephants, and deer. Take a guided safari tour where you can traverse the diverse ecosystems of the sanctuary, taking in the rare flora and fauna. Before you leave the park, take a moment to walk around the Theppakkadu Elephant Camp, where you can learn more about the gentle giants and even take an elephant ride (optional).
Take a trip to the beautiful Ooty Botanical Gardens, a tranquil paradise for nature lovers and a perfect spot for a peaceful picnic lunch. Walking through the vibrant, flower-filled gardens, you'll see exotic plants, bountiful vegetables, and fragrant herbs. Once you've worked up an appetite, head to the garden cafe and enjoy a refreshing beverage while taking in the tranquil surroundings.
On your last day, treat yourself to some chill time by visiting the breathtaking Pykara Waterfall. Here you will not only see a mesmerizing natural force but also marvel at the calm, peaceful surroundings. Afterward, take a boat ride on the Pykara Lake (optional), where you can enjoy the tranquil clear water's beauty.
If you have more time to spare, we recommend exploring Doddabetta or Avalanche Lake & Dam. However, If you are short on time, we suggest skipping Pykara and spending some time enjoying a relaxed meal at a nearby tea estate or Ooty Lake.
