Rose Garden in Ooty provides a feast for the eyes with its 4800 varieties of roses. Not many places around the world can boast of this kind of a colourful world of flowers. Usually we don’t see many colours in a single rose. But here, there is a large collection of roses including a rare species with different shades in the same plant. Once you are at Ooty always try to experience and see maximum scenic beauty of this picturesque place. There are three tea factories in Ooty. There is also a tea museum here where demonstrations on tea making is shown. It would be a nice experience to know how tea leaves are processed to become dust tea and how they are packed for sale. We can even buy quality tea from here. Coonoor which is located 18km away from Ooty has many tea plantations. Different types of tea powder are made and exported to other nations from here. The most beautiful lake in Ooty is undoubtedly an artificial lake at the foothills constructed by John Sullivan in the year 1824. This man-made lake attracts thousands of tourists every year. The Tamilnadu Tourism Department beautified the lake again in the year 1973 to attract the tourists. The main attraction here is the boat safari. This lake reflects the beauty of all the valleys in Ooty. It is the celebration time when tourists flock to Ooty during the flower festival. During festival season buying things can turn out to be really expensive.
