Doddabetta Peak
This is the highest peak in the region. Good views from the top. There is parking at the top. But the road is quite narrow.

Cafe Diem
This is a very pretty cafe just outside Coonoor. It is veg only and they need reservations in advance. Make sure you call before you visit. We didn’t see Coonoor beyond this point. We returned to Ooty in the evening.
