BELLIKKAL

Place Details:

A bird-watcher’s dream destination, Bellikkal’s scenic locales and solitude make it one of the best places to visit for a short trip. Located in Nilgiri Mountain Range in Tamil Nadu, Bellikkal is slowly being patronized by honeymooners since it is high on scenic splendour and provides privacy.

The main attraction of Bellikkal is its lake, which is the prime source of drinking water. The lake remains surrounded by lush greenery. It is not uncommon to find elephants frequenting the lake. The lake and its shores are ideal for long walks.

Tigers, bison, bear and deer are some of the other prominent animals that can be spotted near the lake. Shrikes, bulbuls, morning doves, drongos, crow pheasants and woodpeckers are spotted quite often, making it a popular spot for bird watching.

Ayurvedic massages of the destination are very popular and is a must try. Bellikkal is also popular for the adventure activities options it offers. Mountain biking and trekking can be enjoyed to the fullest at Bellikkal.

The reserve forests of Mudumalai and Bandipur are situated close to Bellikkal. The cardamom plantations and Neelakurinji flowers in the village shouldn’t be missed. Neelakurinji, found mainly in the Nilgiri hills, are very popular as it flowers once in 12 years.

WHERE TO STAY

Accommodations are very limited in Bellikkal. Ooty situated 15 km away offers everything from budget to luxury hotels. Students’ dormitories are also available where the rates are reasonable fort.

WHERE TO EAT

Eating options are low in Bellikkal. You may find shacks and restaurants offering South Indian fare. However, don’t expect anything fancy.
