    Wonderful lake. Well maintained. Nature’s untouched beauty. Boating is also available. But price is unnecessarily high. They takes rs. 900 for 5 minutes of speed boating.

    Superb place. I got an unique experience where the entire place was surrounded with mist with light drizzling. It was super excited to enjoy that moment. Boat house - we took a ride by renting the entire boat for four of us. It was a joyful ride. Entry point from the main road is not so good, so while you are driving down to the lake, please be careful. Drive slow and safe. There is ample parking space near pykara lake boat house.

    Very very nice place. Somewhat costly but I feel its worth it. The amazing views of scenery around and the lake is a pleasure to watch. The boat will cost you around 800rs for 6 people for about half an hour. But boating here will be a next to level experience. The small lake view restaurant is there. You can enjoy food with amazing views of lake and scenery... Loved it

    The Pykara Lake Reservoir is a beautiful destination for tourists visiting Ooty. It’s in Pykara village, just 19 Kms from Ooty. Boating 🛶 in the reservoir is a nice experience. Highly recommended.

    This place is really nice for boating. There are two types of tickets for boating here. 1. 1000 for 8 people 2. 1200 for 10 people. If you going alone then it's better that you make a group of people and then buy tickets for boating . It will save you some bucks. Also, make sure you carry umbrella here.

    Where else could someone see a beautiful landscape filled with clean air and literally crystal clear water. Usually crowded during the weekend and holidays. But definitely a must place to visit. I'm still wondering the works of God whole imagining this place as how could such a large landscape be on the top of mountains.

  • 4/5 Gomes A. 4 years ago on Google
    It is a nice lake... but, didn't find anything unique after completing the ride. The speed boat ride may be a bit interesting, but you need to shell out. The water level was low when I visited, may be due to that. I went to this lake hoping the Ooty lake will be more crowded. The queue was big here too during the peak season and was frustrated with the long wait. If you are going with a small group, you need to find other families who can go along with 8 seater. You will have to find ways to tag along, and book a boat. You buy ticket by a boat and not by number of seat. The ride is overall OK, good scenic view as you go through the ride.

    This was perhaps the best lake experience I have ever had. Though commercially open for all, this side of the lake is exclusive for Defence personnels and I was fortunate to have got this chance. There is only one word for the scenic beauty - Mesmerising.

Unexpected awesome experience

  • 4/5 SRI HARI P. 1 year ago on Google
    Superb Experience .. If Possible enjoy Speed Boating. Make sure you are 3-4 Persons or 8 Persons. Because the seat capacity of the boat is fixed, even though you're going 6 you need to pay for 8. Speed Boating - Rs. 1000 (3-4 Persons) Normal Boating - Rs. 1000 (8 Persons)

    This place is good for boating . Very huge water bed. They are 5 to 6 boats. 8 to 10 people can travel in one boat. The cost is 1000 Rs for 8 passengers and 1200 for 10 passengers.. There are 50 steps to go down. They give on round on the Pykara lake for 15 minutes. Nice place to visit

    I absolutely loved this place, the lake is wonderful and its surrounded by beautiful forest and hills. Three types of boat riding is available there- 2/3 seater (speed boat), 8 seater and 10 seater boats are available. If you are going during noon, you can take lunch from the small restaurant in Pykara Lake boating house, as it's neat and clean.

  • 5/5 Soumitra K. 4 years ago on Google
    Its the best and the most clean lake in ooty. Some drivers would say there is not enough water as they just want to avoid it as it takes a lot of time. But its worth it. You can have a big boat ride or speed boat ride of 30 minutes and 15 minutes respectively. There is no parking fee. Fir boat rides its around 190 each for normal boat and for speed boats its around 350. Its a must visit place. There are food stalls also nearby where you can have snacks. The total ride and other activities would take 1.5 hours. Its on the way from ooty to shooitng point valley.

  • 5/5 Dhyan P. 2 years ago on Google
    The lake is quite big and a wonderful place to visit and if the weather is rainy then it would be cherry on the cake. The place is very nice for boating and if u are staying at ooty u must visit this place. Pykara is a village just 25 kms from ooty where u will find both pykara waterfall and pykara lake. U can complete both of these locations. Just one thing i felt missing they dont have the pedal boats. I mean pedal boats are good for those who wants to spend good time in the lake and with low cost.

  • 5/5 Medha M. 2 years ago on Google
    A must visit place if you’re in Ooty!

  • 5/5 Aliasger S. 3 years ago on Google
    It's a natural beauty. The lake is surrounded by mountains. The place offers speed boating in the lake. The water is clean. And in boating you will feel the cold freezing breeze. It will take you to another place on earth. It's little adventurous and fun. If you go in a group that's convenient but if you go in a couple you will find the boat charges are expensive. But the place itself is very well maintained.

  • 5/5 Rithick R. 3 years ago on Google
    Surely visit it at least once in your life time

  • 3/5 Amandeep S. 1 year ago on Google
    One should manage expectations because these aren’t the largest waterfalls. These are however decent in size and speed and a good place to just relax and meditate; watching the water flow by. The way to the falls and back isn’t the most friendly for older people so that is something you might want to consider. Even with the electric car outside, you still have to walk and climb a lot of area inside the guarded area. All in all, a good experience.

  • 4/5 ashwath s. 1 year ago on Google
    Pros: Panoramic view of beautiful lake. Speed boat ride was worth the money Cons: boat ride rates are costly Quite far from city with bad road connectivity for few kilometres

  • 4/5 Niru M. 1 year ago on Google
    It's big lake and a fantastic view of pine forest. The boats are well maintained. If you can club into groups of 8, it's friendly on pocket too. Long distance ride. It was an amazing ride. Bit disappointed with the food options there and the hygiene. The approach road to lake needs improvement. If one visits here then no need to go to Ooty lake.

  • 4/5 ajay k. 10 months ago on Google
    Beautiful lake.. multiple boating options.. limited parking.. better to go early, before 9AM, to avoid crowd during peak season.

  • 4/5 Vedant B. 4 years ago on Google
    Surprisingly clean for a lake in Tamil Nadu. Shores were so clean and untouched. Felt that the motor boat was a little overpriced but then the view was so beautiful and justified the exorbitant pricing. Enj

    The boat ride on Pykara Lake is a peaceful and relaxing experience. The lake is breathtaking, nestled among the verdant Nilgiris. The boat journey was a delightful getaway from city life, providing us with breathtaking views of the neighbouring hills and forests. The service was quick, and the boats were well-kept and secure. While the wait could be lengthy, particularly on weekends, the whole experience was well worth it. A must-see for anyone in search of natural beauty and tranquillity. It comes highly recommended.

  • 4/5 Anannyo D. 9 months ago on Google
    Entry to lake is free but there has been a revision in boating prices recently, they now charge Rs.1100 for an open-top boat for 8 persons, Rs.1400 for a close-top larger boat for 10 persons, both of which are for 15mins. They also have provisions for speedboats for 2/3 persons at Rs.1100 for 5mins only. The only downside being this place accepts only Cash, so keep it handy if you wanna enjoy a boat ride amidst this huge lake with picturesque forest surrounding it, IMO this is a better place to go for it than Ooty lake. Akin to that, you can find a restaurant here as well if you wish to do your breakfast/lunch, prices are reasonable wrt quantity, there's also a local ice cream shop if you wish to cooldown in the summer heat, but beware of monkeys as there are a lot of them. You might run into parking problems if you're going at tourist rush hours, though there are dedicated parking spaces just opposite to the lake.

    Beautiful lake. Amazing scenery. Highly recommended for a visit. Boating is worth trying. It's 800 for a 8 seater boat. There are no 5 or less seater boats.

  • 5/5 bhushan c. 4 years ago on Google
    This place is quite on weekdays. Boating facilities are available at pykara lake. You can get the complete view of lake and mountains from boats. Parking facility is available at this place. You can hire a boat for upto 8 peoples for 20 mins ride. Pykara waterfall is also near. Easily accessible if you have your own vehicle because public transport is not available at this point.

    The lake is really beautiful surrounded by lush green trees. But it's a long wait for getting the tickets and a longer wait to board the boat. The charges are a bit pricey as well.

  • 5/5 akshaya s. 3 years ago on Google
    The beauty of this lake even from outside the compound is mesmerising. The main attraction there is the boat trip. We went on the speed boat and the thrill and beauty of it was amazing. The boat rides cost around 850 Ruppes .There is no walkway of any sort so going there would be mainly for the boat ride. Parking facility is available and the lake is really near to the Pykara waterfalls
