The journey

Travel from Coimbatore into the cool heights of the Nilgiris and the Palani Hills on a classic four-night mountain journey. Spend two nights in Ooty exploring botanical grounds, peaceful waters, Coonoor viewpoints, a working tea factory and Doddabetta Peak.

Continue across the hills to Kodaikanal for two nights of ridge walks, pine forests and lakeside paths. Take in dramatic panoramas from Pillar Rocks and Coaker's Walk, stop by mountain waterfalls and visit quiet heritage temples before your return drive to Coimbatore.

Day 2 · Ooty

Coonoor viewpoints, tea factory and Doddabetta

After breakfast, set out on a day tour of Ooty and Coonoor. Visit Sim's Park, then take in sweeping valley vistas from Lamb's Rock and Dolphin's Nose in Coonoor, noting this is the Coonoor viewpoint rather than the similarly named Kodaikanal trek. Include Ketti Valley Viewpoint and stop at a local Tea Factory and Tea Museum to discover the region's tea heritage. Finish your sightseeing at Doddabetta Peak, the highest point in the Nilgiris, before returning to your hotel in Ooty for the night. Agree on the schedule beforehand as clear views depend on local weather.
