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.

Rose garden has been beautifully landscaped; a large variety of rose species. The cleanliness level is striking; not even a slight suggestion it's a Govt maintained Garden. Full credit to the public authorities for their efforts.

The lake has clean, greenish water. We went in the month of April, evening hours for boating. The boating is generally closed by 5.30 pm. The boating experience in the speed boat was breathtaking in the beautiful picturesque lake. It was quite cold. The speed boat charged us around 840 Rs for a duration of 10 minutes, and the good point is that they instruct all tourists to get in the boat with life jackets on. You have few cafeteria wherein one can sip hot coffee and have snacks and ice- creams. A must visit place if you are visiting Ooty.

The valley view point is simply amazing and will leave you in awe of the natural beauty that you would get to witness in the form of Fog covered mountain peaks and the lush green valley with a few quaint little houses spread between those trees. There is also a telescope room from where you get to see a 150 year old church located in the valley. The telescope gives you a nice view of the church. Just an addition of a seating place or something would make this place even more interesting. This is a must visit destination en-route coonoor

Pykara falls is around 15 kms from ooty city centre and on Gudalur road. This is the most visited place in ooty. Pykara Falls and Pykara Lake-Boating Point are different location and separated approx. 2-3 kms from each other, and one has to take go-around route for reaching boating point from pykara falls. Pykara falls is a beautiful natural streams of water, rather it is a cascade and not a falls, amid dense pine forests. From car parking, 500 mtr. gentle walk upto tkt. counter and then some 100 steps to go down to reach the falls. Electric car is available to reach upto entry point with a charge of 20 Rs for one side. Pykara falls having mesmerising view and photogenic location. You can definitely spend 1 or 2 hour to see the beauty around. Must be visited after monsoon season, so that water level is optimal and greenery at it's best.

Comes on the way to the dolphin nose so its a good idea to visit this place. The views are good and the hike to the top is very nice as it gives you a chance to walk in the forest with really tall trees. It's definitely better than the dolphin nose so avoid the later if you are in hurry.
