No visitor to the Queen of Hill Stations can consider his or her trip complete without spending an hour experiencing an aerial view of nature's splendour from the Doddabetta peak.
Long considered the diadem of the Queen, Doddabetta (big mountain) is said to be the second tallest peak (8640 feet) south of the Vindhyas. It overlooks Udhagamandalam town from the East. One can get a panoramic view of Udhagamandalam and its environs, Coonoor and Wellington. Even the Coimbatore plains can be seen.
Walking up to the peak is also thrilling.
