Forest road | Closed from 9 PM to 6 AM |

Pykara comes before Ooty on this road, so stop on the way in. Take a boat on the lake, then walk to the falls a short distance away. Lunch in Ooty after this.
Check in first, then go to the garden in the middle of town. The lawns, the fern house and the old tree trunk are what most families remember.
Boating on the lake in the evening, or a walk along the shore. Pick up homemade chocolates from the shops nearby. It gets cold after sunset.
The highest point in the Nilgiris, about 10 km from town. Go early for a clear view over Ooty and the hills around it.
On the road down from Doddabetta. A short walk through the machines shows how fresh leaf becomes tea, and you can buy tea packets at the counter.
The last stop before you leave. The rose terraces are fullest from April to June.
Lunch in Ooty and start by 1 PM, so the vehicle crosses the forest well before it closes. You reach Mysore around 5 to 6 PM.
