At
a height of 2,623 meters, Dodabetta
Peak is the highest point
in the district. Situated at about 10 km from the Ooty town, it is one of the
most prominent view points around the city. The top of the peak remains covered
by mist most of the time but on a clear day, you can have a look at the
landscape as far as the plains of Coimbatore and
the Mysore
plateau. It is surrounded by dense trees.
Public
transport like autos and buses are not permitted here. Once you reach the top,
you get a breathtaking view of Ooty and Conoor and also Mettupalyam. This peak
has been a witness to many film shootings. Keep in mind that you should visit
this peak on a day when the sky is clear otherwise all you can see is mist. You
can also grab many beautiful shots on your camera. You have to walk from your
vehicle to the viewpoint and before you enter the viewpoint, you will be
charged a fee of Rs. 2. Carry enough warm clothing on a cold day, because it
is freezing cold out there in the winters. Many refreshments are available atop
this hill.
