Trek to Doddabetta peak in Ooty

Duration: 4-5 hours

The Doddabetta Peak (8,652 ft.) is the highest point of Nilgiri mountain ranges that nestle the Ooty hill station. This mountain peak is surrounded by a forest reserve and the best way to reach here is through a trek.

This trek is not a challenging one so if you are a beginner, you can head for it. nd once you make it to the top, the stunning mountain ranges and clear skies await to stun you here.

The most favourable time to go for Doddabetta Peak Trek is early morning for splendid views. There is a telescope house too where you can sip a cup of tea or lemon tea (for the health conscious) and enjoy close-up views of the mountain ranges through a telescope.

Situated in the picturesque Nilgiri hills of Tamil Nadu is its most popular hill station, Udhagamandalam (better known as Ooty). Apart from its natural beauty, Ooty is famous for its tea gardens with a variety of tea and home-made chocolates. Because of its pleasant weather in the otherwise hot State of Tamil Nadu, Ooty was developed as a summer resort by the erstwhile British East India Company and there are still buildings and resorts which remind us of architecture of that age.  

Best time to visit Ooty is throughout the year. Summers are pleasant, winters a bit colder and the monsoon season from Mid June to Mid September has its own freshly washed charm.
