Ooty Lake
From just behind the central Bus Stand (also near the Railway station) the famous Ooty Lake stretches, in an irregular 'L' shape, for about 2.75 kms in length and varying distances in width(100m – 140m). For the curious, this lake was artificially formed by John Sullivan, the founder of Ooty, in 1823-25 by damming the mountain streams flowing down Ooty valley

Ooty in India has always been the most selective options for tourists who found it as a great escapade for October heat which is prevalent in the Western parts of India. Ooty thus serves as one of the most desired hill stations in the south. Ooty is cold and pleasant during winters, and hence the best time to visit Ooty is from March to June. Though Ooty is amongst the favorites in summers, say March to early June given the vacation period; it goes without saying that Ooty is pretty much crowded then. For honeymoon couples who find Ooty among the top listed honeymoon spots in India, preferably visit Ooty in winters
The Nilgiri Mountain Railway (Tamil: நீலகிரி மலை ரயில்) is a railway in Tamil Nadu, India, built by the British in 1908, and was initially operated by the Madras Railway. The railway still relies on its fleet of steam locomotives. NMR comes under the jurisdiction of the newly formed Salem Division. In July 2005, UNESCO added the Nilgiri Mountain Railway as an extension to the World Heritage Site of Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, the site then became known as "Mountain Railways of India. After it satisfied the necessary criteria, thus forcing abandonment of the modernisation plans. For the past several years diesel locomotives have taken over from steam on the section between Coonoor and Udhagamandalam. Local people and tourists have led a demand for steam locos to once again haul this section.
