Pykara Lake & Waterfalls is a scenic natural attraction located about 21 km from Ooty town in the Nilgiris district of Tamil Nadu. The lake is formed by the Pykara River, which originates from the Nilgiri Hills, and is surrounded by lush forests, rolling hills, and tea plantations. The area is famous for its serene boating facilities, picnic spots, and the spectacular Pykara Waterfalls, where the river cascades down a height of approximately 55 feet, creating a picturesque view and a soothing ambiance. Visitors can enjoy rowboat and pedal boat rides on the lake, while nature enthusiasts can explore the surrounding trails to spot birds, butterflies, and other wildlife. The location is ideal for photography, family outings, and a peaceful escape from the busy town life of Ooty. The combination of calm waters, forested hills, and misty waterfalls makes Pykara a must-visit destination in the Nilgiris.
