Spectacular terreain, gushing waterfalls, nature in full splendour; and no tourists. Saw a massive Bison on the roadside on the way back.

this is one of the most important lake to be seen in ooty most of the tourists are not going to the lake ,very good view tamil nadu & kerala border can be viewed
