       Ooty Lake

The Ooty Lake is an artificial lake constructed by John Sullivan in 1824 by forming a dam stopping the flow of the water flowing down the mountain stream of the Ooty valley. The original intent of the lake was to be used for fishing with ferries used to cross the lake. It became a tourist attraction after the Tamil Nadu Tourism Development took possession of the lake. The lake now provides boating services along with the bus stand, race course and lake park. Tourists should head for a boat ride and witness the beauty of the groves of Eucalyptus trees with a railway line running along the shore at the lake.

 

       Murugan Temple

The Hindu Temple - Murugan is situated atop Elk Hill in Ooty with a very huge idol of Lord Murugan as the main deity. Tourists should visit the famous temple and enjoy the peaceful location with a picturesque backdrop and resplendent setting. The best time to visit the temple is during the Thaipudam festival in January and February ensuring the crowd of devotees and bystanders which would make the tourist mesmerise their visuals.

 

       Pykara Lake

Pykara Lake situated amidst the lush green shola forest, is a must visit while travelling to Ooty.
