Find your way to the Ooty Botanical Garden (also known as Government Botanical Gardens), home to the 127-year-old annual Flower Show and fascinating floral displays, from myriad roses to pansies and petunias. A natural next stop are the banks of Ooty Lake. Breathe in the crisp air as you go boating on the lake and admire the blue hills in the horizon. For adventure lovers, trekking up Ooty\u2019s Dodda Betta Peak, the tallest mountain in the Nilgiri range, is a heart-pumping experience. Be sure to enjoy a bird\u2019s eye view of Ooty town as you take a peek through a telescope from the summit. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Learn about the town&#8217;s colonial history&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"4443\" src=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/shutterstock_1156390504-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"The UNESCO World Heritage Site-listed Nilgiri Mountain Railway, from Mettupalayam to Ooty, one of the best things to do in Ooty\" class=\"wp-image-4443\" srcset=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/shutterstock_1156390504-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/shutterstock_1156390504-350x197.jpg 350w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/shutterstock_1156390504-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/shutterstock_1156390504-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/shutterstock_1156390504-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/shutterstock_1156390504.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Ooty is a quick getaway from the nearby cities of Bengaluru, Mysuru and Coimbatore, so it&#8217;s no surprise that the town and wider area, with its similarity to the English countryside, served as a summer resort of the British. Colonial-style bungalows,&nbsp;churches and tea culture popped up around Ooty as a result. To get a glimpse into Ooty\u2019s past, make your way to the 19<sup>th-<\/sup>century St. Stephen\u2019s Church, an architectural marvel with stained glass windows, panelled doors and even a painting of <em>The Last Supper<\/em>.&nbsp;Any visit to Ooty is incomplete without taking a ride aboard the blue toy train journeying along the UNESCO World Heritage Site-listed Nilgiri Mountain Railway, from Mettupalayam to Ooty. Transport yourself to another world as the train huffs and puffs its way through 16 tunnels and across 250, stopping at quaint heritage stations like Coonoor and Lovedale.&nbsp;The entire journey takes a little less than five hours in total and tickets can be booked in advance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Get a taste for the local tea industry&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"4469\" src=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Ooty-AdobeStock_404806090-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"A tea plantation in Ooty, India, one of the best activities to do in Ooty\" class=\"wp-image-4469\" srcset=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Ooty-AdobeStock_404806090-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Ooty-AdobeStock_404806090-350x197.jpg 350w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Ooty-AdobeStock_404806090-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Ooty-AdobeStock_404806090-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Ooty-AdobeStock_404806090-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Ooty-AdobeStock_404806090.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The winding roads of Ooty are flanked by manicured tea gardens. Take a stroll through a tea plantation and watch tea be picked by hand before learning about the process of tea making at a local factory. Here, you will learn the subtle differences between first and second flush and get an opportunity to taste a fresh brew. Sample aromatic Nilgiri tea blends or shop for tea powder to take home. Head to the Tea Estate View Point near the Dodda Betta Peak and admire a view across acres of tea gardens. A visit to the Tea Factory and Museum is a must for any tea connoisseur.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Take the short trip to Coonoor<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Only an hour\u2019s drive from Ooty, the mist-clad town of Coonoor is another quaint treasure in the Nilgiris. &nbsp;<br>Thanks to its colonial-era bungalows, tea estates, cascading waterfalls, museums and chic little cafes,&nbsp; Coonoor is just as beautiful as Ooty. There is plenty to explore, from the moss-laden Tiger Hill Cemetery to the jutting rock of Dolphin\u2019s Nose, offering panoramic views of the Catherine Waterfalls. Be sure to make a stop at the pristine Wellington Lake too.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Where to stay: WelcomHeritage Ayatana Ooty&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"4445\" src=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYA_set-2-10-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"WelcomHeritage Ayatana Ooty, a resort in Ooty, India\" class=\"wp-image-4445\" srcset=\"https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYA_set-2-10-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYA_set-2-10-350x197.jpg 350w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYA_set-2-10-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYA_set-2-10-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYA_set-2-10-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/luxuryescapes.com\/inspiration\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/AYA_set-2-10.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The newly unveiled WelcomHeritage Ayatana Ooty is a unique gem in the \u2018Queen of Hill Stations\u2019.
