Avalanche Lake, Tamil Nadu, India
4.5 (486 reviews) Spent Ranking #4 in The Nilgiris District Bodies of Water
Beautiful place nestled in the hills
We had not heard about Avalanche lake during any of our previous trips to Ooty. We went there based on a recommendation and it was a very pleasant surprise. It is a roughly 30kms drive (each way) from Ooty and the road is mostly good (the last 1km is being re-laid and can get a bit narrow). The lake has multiple viewing spots and each of them are quite beautiful. It is mostly secluded and sees a few tourists which is a rarity when compared to the hustle and bustle of Ooty town.

Amazing experience of the lake
Very nice place. Although a little off-route and very less known, but its really beautiful and a must place to visit. The road which leads to Avalanche lake is very scenic, you get very nice view of Nilgiris and the destination is amazing. There is a small government canteen at the lake which serves delicious food and have decent variety available. It have an ample parking space to park your vehicle.

One of the better places around Ooty
It is one of the less touristy things you can do in Ooty. The lake is nice and the safari to the jungle is also nice though short and not very eventful in terms of animal sightings. place is very clean and green. Place seems less crowded probably because its ~ 20 km away from city center. On the way back to city, one can sight the Emerald lake as well which too is scenic.
