Ooty Day Trip — Lake, Botanical Gardens & Doddabetta
The classic Ooty day in a single run. The Government Botanical Gardens are laid out over 22 hectares with a fossil tree trunk and a fern house; the lake has boats and a toy train; Doddabetta, at 2,637 metres, is the highest point in the Nilgiris and gives a view over the whole range on a clear day. The Tea Museum on the way back explains why this hillside is tea.
