Begin your trip with a tranquil visit to Pykara Lake. The lake is located amidst lush green valleys and surrounded by forests. You can take a boat ride amidst the serene waters or walk along the lakeside and enjoy the calm and peace. This is also a popular spot for a family picnic. Be sure to try the local snacks and tea from the food vendors while you are here.
Spend the day at the Ooty Botanical Gardens where you can bask in the beauty of nature and enjoy the fresh air. The gardens are home to various species of plants and flowers, including some rare orchids. Don't miss the peaceful Japanese garden within the premises. The garden is a treat for nature lovers and a paradise for photographers.
End your trip at the Doddabetta Peak, the highest peak in the Nilgiri range. You can take a scenic drive up to the peak through lush green tea estates and enjoy the breathtaking views of the valley from the top. At the peak, there is an observatory tower where you can get a panoramic view of the entire valley. Don't miss the opportunity to take stunning pictures of the majestic surroundings.
If you have more time, you can add a visit to the Ooty Lake, Sims Park, or the Government Museum. For those with less time, you can skip the Ooty Botanical Gardens and proceed directly to Doddabetta Peak. Don't forget to check the opening and closing times of the places before you plan your trip.
