Honeymoon Special – Ooty & Kodai

Day 1 : Coimbature - Ooty | 135Km | 3.5Hrs

On arrival our Tripdoers travel executive will greet you at the Airport Lounge or Railway station. Anyone visiting Ooty would not hesitate to call it a ‘heaven on earth’. A hill station in Tamil Nadu, the Creator has left no stone unturned in making it a paradise. Ooty’s beauty is always sought after, akin to the Kurunji flower that blooms once in 12 years to make it a blue mountain. The 6th mile, as the name suggests, is 6 miles from the main township and is a photographer’s delight. Offering a fantastic and visual treat, this place is a blanket of greenery and a favorite spot for film shooting. Located about 19 km from Ooty, Pykara, named after a village and river is a major tourist attraction. Many waterfalls originate from this river, a sight anyone can fall in love with.

After Breakfast proceed for sightseeing. Lush green carpets covering a major part of the town is what tea plantations can be described as. Terraced layout, lawns with lilies, beds of flowers and many more features sum up the botanical gardens in Ooty. Spread over 22 acres, this garden is divided into six sections, each having its own features. Dodabetta (meaning Big Mountain) Peak is the highest mountain in the Nilgiri and has a reserved forest area surrounding it. From atop the peak, the scenic beauty of Ooty can be viewed to one’s content. A visit to Ooty is incomplete without a boating at the famed Ooty Lake, an artificial lake. Engulfed by groves of eucalyptus trees and an “attention grabbing” railway line on one shore, this place is hosts boat races every year.

After Breakfast proceed to Kodaikanal. Kodaikanal, the princess of hill stations, is a tourist’s paradise. Pleasant climate and natural beauty balance themselves to create that perfect setting to complement a vacation. Variety is rare and so is a place with a mix of experiences. Possibly the most popular spot in Kodaikanal, the Kodai Lake, a man made one and a geographic landmark. It has a boat house and facilities for boating, which form an integral part of any visit. Boating pageants and flower shows are regularly held every summer. Three boulders standing adjacent to each other constitute the Pillar Rock, an important tourist spot. Standing at a height of around 400 feet, it has a mini garden with lovely flowers and shady woods in the shadows of the rocks.

After breakfast, take a sightseeing tour of Kodaikanal. Pine forests of Kodaikanal, just by their appearance, can mesmerize any visitor, leaving people thoughtless. An ideal setting for photography buffs, the forests would leave visitors in a trance by their sheer nature. The settings are apt for people to spend time amidst nature displaying its splendid attire. Named after a popular Tamil movie, Guna caves are chambers between the famous Pillar Rock, inhabited by bats. They are now closed for the public, though they were well photographed in the early 70s.

After Breakfast Proceed for Railway station/Airport .
