Pykara Falls

Reviewed By sanjayvora45 - Ahmedabad, India

Pykara falls is around 15 kms from ooty city centre and on Gudalur road. This is the most visited place in ooty. Pykara Falls and Pykara Lake-Boating Point are different location and separated approx. 2-3 kms from each other, and one has to take go-around route for reaching boating point from pykara falls. Pykara falls is a beautiful natural streams of water, rather it is a cascade and not a falls, amid dense pine forests. From car parking, 500 mtr. gentle walk upto tkt. counter and then some 100 steps to go down to reach the falls. Electric car is available to reach upto entry point with a charge of 20 Rs for one side. Pykara falls having mesmerising view and photogenic location. You can definitely spend 1 or 2 hour to see the beauty around. Must be visited after monsoon season, so that water level is optimal and greenery at it's best.

Catherine Falls

Reviewed By Ronit1710 - Mumbai, India

Had gone to view this waterfall from the waterfall viewpoint. You get an amazing view of the valley full of dense lush green forests with cotton-like white clouds between the valleys. The waterfall looks really nice even from the distance and is quite a viewpoint for photographers and even nature lovers.
