Explore the chill of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu
No Choices to choose the best hill station in South India! It’s definitely - Coorg and Ooty! The adventure begins from Bangalore to the wonders of Ooty, Coonoor, and Coorg! Begin with a drive to Ooty, where you'll stroll through the vibrant Rose Garden, savor freshly brewed tea at the Tea Factory & Museum, and glide across Ooty Lake—where each paddle stroke feels like a mini workout. Followed by a visit to the Botanical Gardens and climb Doddabetta Peak for a view that makes you feel like you're touching the clouds. Next, head to Coonoor, starting with a visit to Sim’s Park, where exotic plants compete with cheeky squirrels for your attention. Climb to Lamb’s Rock for the best views, and enjoy a trek to Dolphin’s Nose, where you might spend a bit of time searching for its namesake.
Continue your journey in Ooty with walks through the Pine Forest, relaxing at Wenlock Downs, and a misty dip at Pykara Falls, where everyone looks like they've walked through a cloud. In Coorg, experience the beauty of Abbey Falls, navigate the maze-like Madikeri Fort, and take a picture sunset at Raja’s Seat. Conclude with a heartwarming visit to Dubare Elephant Camp, a splash at Chiklihole Reservoir, and a peaceful stroll at the Golden Temple. This trip promises a camera full of memories and a heart full of joy as you return to Bangalore.
