Ooty: A Honeymooner’s Paradise
Ooty, the queen of hill stations, is a popular honeymoon destination. The title given to Ooty, ‘Queen of Hill Stations’, says it all! It is one of India's most beautiful hill stations, surrounded by hills and lush greenery.
Located in the Nilgiri district of Tamil Nadu, Ooty served as a recreational centre and summer capital for the Madras presidency during the 19th century. Today, it still serves as a weekend getaway for many tourists and honeymooners. Its scenic beauty is a sight to sore eyes and a nature lover’s paradise!
Weather in Ooty
The best part of visiting Ooty is that you can visit it all year round without worrying about the weather! However, it is recommended that you visit Ooty from March to June to enjoy its pleasant summers. If you and your partner enjoy winter, you can visit during October and February. Ooty winters can be rather chilly as the temperature drops to under five degrees, making it a winter honeymoon destination too!
You can book a honeymoon tour package in Chennai to experience Ooty’s cold and cosy weather!

Let us look at the top four honeymoon spots for nature-loving honeymooners.
Pykara Lake
The most popular tourist attraction is the Pykara falls and lake. The lake is located amidst the lush green forests and offers visitors an excellent scenic and panoramic view. The lake owes its formation to the construction of a dam and power plant on a river that flows from the north of Ooty.

Rose Garden
Owing to its name, the Ooty famous Rose Garden is well-maintained and one of the most beautiful gardens in India. The garden is home to over 20,000 varieties of roses, including a rare black or even green rose!
