It is one of the best viewpoints in Ooty but crowded during summer seasons.It is a bit far from City limit. No entertainment facilities over there for kids.

The western catchment area is one of the best scenic places in Ooty and is also a great place to do small hiking. You can enjoy the clear view of the valley if you visit on a sunny day.

You have to walk a bit long to reach this tourist spot. The landscape is mesmerizing. You have to get forest department permission to get inside this spot. You can spot the animals like deer, bison etc. If you are nature freak then this is must visit a place.

The Western catchment is about 20 km from Ooty. This place offers magnificent views of Avalanche Lake and grasslands from all sides. Tourists are not allowed to enter this area without taking the prior permission from Forest department. It is also a habitat for animals such as Sambar, Nilgiri that etc. This place is heaven for nature lovers.
