At 2,637 metres, Doddabetta is the highest peak in the Nilgiris and the fourth highest in South India, making it one of the top attractions in Nilgiris. A short drive from Ooty leads to a parking area, from where a paved path climbs gently to the summit. On clear mornings, the view takes in the entire Nilgiri plateau, the Mysore plains to the north, and the Coimbatore district to the south. A Tourism Department telescope house at the top lets you zoom into tea estates and distant peaks, making one of the best places to visit in Nilgiris.
What makes this place special
Unobstructed 360-degree panorama across the Nilgiri plateau on clear days makes this viewpoint one of the most breathtaking attractions in Nilgiris. From here, Ooty, Coonoor, and Kotagiri are all visible below, offering a sweeping visual treat that defines classic Nilgiris sightseeing.

Fixed telescopes at the peak zoom into distant tea estates, Mudumalai forest, and on the clearest days, the Kerala coastline. This makes it one of the most engaging things to do in Nilgiris.
The path to the peak passes through rare shola-grassland ecosystems, featuring pockets of dense evergreen forest surrounded by open grasslands. This unique landscape is a must-see feature in any Nilgiris travel guide focused on ecological experiences.
