Start your trip with a visit to the Doddabetta Peak, the highest point in the Nilgiri Mountains. Enjoy a panoramic view of the surrounding hills and valleys. Take a trek on the peak or visit the Telescope House to get a closer look at the scenery.
After visiting the peak, head to the Ooty Lake, a serene artificial lake surrounded by lush green hills. Take a boat ride or enjoy a picnic by the lake.
Next, visit the Government Botanical Garden, a sprawling garden with a wide variety of flora. Take a stroll in the garden and admire the colourful flowers. Don't miss the fossil tree trunk, which is estimated to be 20 million years old.
On your second day, visit the Pykara Waterfalls, a breathtaking waterfall nestled in the lush green hills. Take a dip in the cool waters or take a boat ride in the Pykara Lake nearby.
After visiting the falls, head to the Rose Garden, a beautiful garden with over 20,000 varieties of roses. Take a leisurely stroll while enjoying the fragrant blooms.
Finally, visit the Thread Garden, a unique garden where all the flowers and plants are made of thread. Marvel at the intricate details of the thread sculptures and take home a souvenir from the gift shop.
If you have more time, consider visiting the Dolphin's Nose viewpoint, a scenic spot with a panoramic view of the Nilgiri Hills. You can also visit the nearby Sims Park, a botanical garden with a collection of over 1,000 plant species.
If you have less time, consider skipping the Thread Garden or Rose Garden, as they are situated quite far from the main town area. You can also combine the visits to Doddabetta Peak and Ooty Lake into one day if you are short on time.
