In the last posts, I have written about Ooty and Coonoor Trip - Day 1 and Ooty and Coonoor Trip - Day 2, and these is the last posts of the series where I will show you some of the places I have visited in the 3rd day.
On the 3rd day, our main visiting places were outside of Ooty as well as some places where there was no crowd.
Pykara Waterfall and Boat House
Pykara is the name of the river which flows around 20KMs away from Ooty. There is a Pykara Dam and powerhouse which was built across the river. As the water flows down the mountain, it forms a waterfall.
Pykara Dam
This Dam is built on Pykara Dam, and we are not allowed to enter the Dam too.
Pykara Waterfall
Our next stop is Pykara waterfall which is a must-see attraction near Ooty. There are actually two waterfalls on Pykara river and both are equally good.
Pykara Boathouse
Our next stop was Pykara Boat House where we went to do boating. The Pykara Lake was formed from the Pykara River. The Pykara lake has some boats like 2-3 seater speed motorboat, 8 seater and 10 seater boats. We have taken 8 seater boat to see the surrounding scenery.
Shooting Sport / 9th Mile
We have already visited this place on the first day, we liked it so much that we have visited the place again so get some more great shots.
Karnataka Siri Horticulture Garden
Our next stop was Karnataka Siri horticulture garden. I would say it is one of the best gardens in Ooty better than the botanical garden as well as a rose garden. this garden is created in collaboration with all LalBagh in Bangalore.
Thread Garden
Our last stop was thread garden, which is actually situated just opposite Ooty lake. The flowers in the thread garden are not real and they are not of plastic too, they are hand made from threads.
They hold the world record of creating natural-looking embroidery flower gardens made up of threads.
They sell these flowers too and we have bought them to do decoration at home.
That's it and then we have visited the bus station to catch our bus to Bangalore. It was a good 3-day trip, and if you are planning a trip to Ooty, I will suggest spending at least 3 days in the hill station to visit almost all the places and thus you do not have to hurry for it.
