Dodabetta and Mukurthi Peaks of Ooty in the Nilgiris

Mukurthi and Dodabetta are the 2 highest peaks in the Nilgiris located close to Ooty Town. Dodabetta which is closer to Ooty town than Mukurthi Peak was believed to be the highest until few years back when Mukurthi was found to be higher by around a meter. Dodabetta is situated 10 km from Ooty bus stand while Mukurth is set in the deep jungles of the Nilgiris with the Mukurthi lake at its foot. For those nature lovers and trekkers, going to Mukurthi will defenitely be quite an experience. There is no transport facilities and hence one would need to trek it to the peak.
