Start your trip by visiting the Pykara Falls located on the Ooty-Mysore road. The falls offer a stunning view and have ample space for visitors to sit and enjoy the beauty. You can enjoy a boat ride, horse ride, and a visit to the Pykara Lake. Make sure you carry food and water with you before heading to the falls.
Head to the Botanical Garden, home to numerous species of plants and trees. A nature-lover's paradise, it includes a fossil tree, an Italian garden, multi-level sections, and a beautiful glasshouse. Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and carry sunscreen and a hat, especially if you are traveling with kids.
Visit the Ooty Lake, the primary tourist spot in Ooty, located in the heart of the town. Enjoy a boat ride on the serene lake and explore the nearby Deer Park. It is better to avoid the peak hours and weekends to avoid long queues and traffic.
End your trip by visiting the highest peak in the Nilgiris, Doddabetta. Enjoy the breathtaking view of the valley below and the tea estates surrounding the peak. The peak is accessible by road and offers various viewpoints to enjoy the scenery. Make sure to carry warm clothes and a camera to capture your memories.
With additional time, you can consider visiting the Tea Museum, Kalhatty Waterfalls, or the Ooty Rose Garden. However, if you have limited time, you can exclude Botanical Garden from the itinerary. Make sure to carry comfortable clothes, sunscreen, hats, and shoes for outdoor visits, and keep an eye on the weather forecast.
