Avalanche Forest Reserve - Tourist attraction in Mulligoor - The Nilgiris, India

It's not an open Jeep Safari and one can visit only three points after which the road is under construction. We reached there around noon but had to wait a long time before safari as we were waiting for another group to join us but they never came. In that time, the forest officials asked us to walk till the river. The river and it's surroundings were serene. We were wary at first but saw that many other people were around. It's actually the beginning of the forest. There were many monkeys around. They have crackers to drive them away but it was fun. There are shops where tea, snacks and lunch is also available. Washrooms are there but not at all maintained. I bought a toda embroidery pouch from a shop lady. The safari was ok. It was at a height. The view is good but it was mostly deserted.

So beautiful & serene place.O pollution. Government staff very helpful.Many springs,waterfalls,many varieties of trees, bushes, birds,black monkey seen. Absolutely stnning pine forest with river& dam,lake view.best meditation place.

Avalanche is a just ride for see some view . it will be cost 250/-per head...they will start ride when 8 people will gathered (sharing) otherwise u have to give 2000/- even for single family.....and 2 people so always go with sharing. .. And never expect seeing any wild animals expect the Chief Guest and the ride vehicle will not go till end...u can go only 7 km only and 2 km with worst road....just 3 spot to see....noting special. ... and u cannot bought water there

Nice, calm n serene place. Must visit for the short forest trail n the stroll in the backwater areas. The Jeep Safari is good attraction too. Last stop of the safari makes it more than worth it.

Avalanche Forest Reserve is a hidden gem in the Nilgiri Mountains. If you're a nature lover or adventure seeker, this place is a must-visit. The dense, untouched forests, crystal-clear Avalanche Lake, and the backdrop of towering mountains create a landscape straight out of a fairytale. The reserve offers a range of activities, from trekking and camping to bird watching. The trekking trails are invigorating, and you might even spot some unique wildlife along the way. The serenity of Avalanche Lake is something you'll cherish. Remember to get permits in advance, as this place is protected and pristine. This reserve is a testament to nature's beauty and should be on every nature enthusiast's list. Just be prepared to be awe-struck by its natural wonders! Beware of monkeys, any food items they saw, they most probably attack you to take it.

Very disappointed as i could not visit upper bhavani as it was closed for the past 4years due to landslide. The repair work is still being done with no estimated time for completion. You can either rent a Jeep for Rs.2000 which can fit 8-9 persons (not more that that) or if you are a group of 4 you can share with another group of 4 but the real problem is who sits in front and middle seat?? The third row seats can fit 4 persons but you have less visibility while travelling (that's the worst part) Avalanche View, Cauli flower sola and Falls view are all the 3 spots you will be taken via narrow roads. I have seen private cars going through this restricted place ( tourists) . Not sure how they are allowed to go in probably they know some forest officials. here are in pathetic condition. There is a tea shop here. Recommended - Visit as early as possible around 10-12 Rent a Jeep for Rs.2000 Spend sometime walking around the ticket counter to play with and take pictures

About 90 mins from Ooty. Less crowded. Good drive. A forest jeep will take u inside the forest and driver is the guide who is well versed with the flora and fauna. Brocoli shaped trees and lake is beautiful.

We went with our family of two kids, wife and myself Ona weekend. The place is short drive away from Ooty. The drive was through lovedale offering some offbeat farmlands and great views. The destination was a great place relatively untouched by regular tourists. We took the guided safari which took us halfway up to some waterfalls. The water was less due to scanty rainfall but the views were stunning. Subsequently we had a short break with noddles. We went for a picnic to grass land nearby. This place offered great free landscapes. my children ran up the stream, crossed the stream with our dog . We had a great time to just relax and unwind with my wife while the children were enjoying under our watch. The return drive was through Good Shepard school route. By evening we were back to Ooty. Overall a Great place for quiet picnic ! awesome grassland ,,:) sweet safari, breath taking views
