Botanical Garden

This sprawling area is a must-visit tourist site in the beautiful hill station of Ooty. What’s more, you will have a striking view of the famous Doddabetta peak as its backdrop.  Marquis of Tweedale established this horticulture park in 1897 which is now under jurisdiction of the state government. Its 55 acres area is divided into different horticultural sections, interspersed with several well-maintained grassy lawns and artificial ponds. More than 600 plant species are cultivated and maintained here. These varieties include many angiosperms, fern plants, bonsai, and medicinal herbs. Interestingly, it has a terrace-style landscape.
