Start your Ooty adventure by visiting the Ooty Lake, a picturesque lake surrounded by lush greenery and mountains. You can rent a boat and paddle around the calm waters or enjoy a horse ride along the lake shore. There are also many food and souvenir stalls to explore nearby.
On day 2, hike up to the Doddabetta Peak, the highest peak in the Nilgiri Mountains. Enjoy the stunning views of the surrounding hills and valleys from the observation tower and visit the tea museum on your way back down. You can also stop by Mudumalai National Park on your way back to Ooty for a chance to spot some wildlife.
Wrap up your Ooty trip by exploring the Government Botanical Garden, a beautiful garden with rare and exotic plants from all over the world. Take a walk through the many themed sections of the garden, such as the Italian Garden or the Fern House. You can also visit the Ooty Rose Garden and the Thread Garden located nearby.
For nature lovers, an additional day in Ooty can be spent visiting the Sim's Park, a well-manicured botanical garden with a range of flora, and the Ooty Tribal Research Museum, which showcases the culture and history of the indigenous tribes of the Nilgiri Mountains. Additionally, for adventure enthusiasts, a visit to the Glenmorgan Trekking Trail can be added, which offers a thrilling hiking experience through the forest. Alternatively, if you have less time, the visit to Mudumalai National Park can be omitted or shortened.
