4. Dine at Earl's Secret at Kings cliff
I was insistent that we have lunch at this place. Make sure you have enough time on your hands, we weren't staying in Ooty so it took us over an hour to find and get to the place. However, once you get there the stunning views and beautiful ambience is totally worth it! What was disappointing on the day we went was the service, I believe they were understaffed, but the food and ambience made up for everything!

The road from Ooty to Upper Bhavani is piece of art by nature. The road was narrow, sharp bends, Elephant Dungs throughout the way, and terrifying jungle.The cell phones don’t have coverage on the road.
