Government Botanical Garden, Ooty (Udhagamandalam)

Face mask is mandatory, no entry without that. The garden is good and vast. Tea, coffee are available inside the premises. There is a small shop that sells tea powder, oils etc which says it’s from govt forest department. It was raining when we visited during 1st week of July. Overall a good experience and can explore variety of plants flowers and huge old trees. It took almost 2 hrs to complete the tour.

Best time to visit here is during spring when the flowers are in full bloom and lush greenery.If you come in the Winter season (December/ January) there is nothing much to see. Because during the winter season they start to plant flowers so you can't enter to the grassland.The entry ticket for adults is ₹50 and ₹30 for children.They charge around ₹80 for four wheeler parking.The garden is good and vast.The place is huge with greenhouse, sculptures trees, bushes and shrubs. It has variety of rare plants and flowers all well preserved.Overall a good experience and can explore variety of plants flowers and huge old trees.Best place to visit with family and friends.
