The lake is one of the best as far as I have heard among ooty tourist places. We started early from ooty to reach avalanche lake which is around 18-20 kms from Ooty main centre. But luck is not with us, as we are on the way, we had been informed that forest department has closed the road leading to the lake due to landslide. So we retuned without seeing the marvelous lake. I have some of the basic information which might helpful : To explore upper bhavani lake one has to reach around 9 or 9.30 AM at the gate of forest office as rush of tourist increases afterward. Tourist has to park their vehicle there and buy entry ticket to board the forest deptt. bus. Bus tour takes around 2 hours and three point covered are cauliflower forest, Bhavani Amman Temple and Upper Bhavani Lake.

Bored by the usual crowded tourist spots of Ooty, this time we enquired with our tour operator to take us to a not much visited place away from the hustling-bustling crowd. He suggested us Avalanche. We decided not to Google and find any detailed information as we wanted to experience it all fresh. And was quite surprised that we were not disappointed at all. The Jeep drive from the pick-up spot to Avalanche was so exciting through scenic forests and valleys with a stop-over in between by a small stream overlooking a beautiful temple which stood a top of a valley. We were suggested to drink the water directly that was oozing out from a point of small rock which they believed was the starting point of a river which converged into the valley to become the massive river. Avalanche - absolutely no words. A heaven on earth. With wild yellow and pink flowers strewn across the valley. I almost dropped my plan of visiting Valley of Flowers in the Himachal for a moment. The century old pine trees added to a perfect bollywood scenic destination. Must-visit if you want to cherish your trip to Ooty.
