Arthur's Seat

1 hour · The most dramatic viewpoint — a 600m vertical drop. The 'echo point' works when it is not windy. Combined ticket with other points available.

~₹30

Mapro Garden

1.5 hours · Free entry. Strawberry milkshake Rs.120, pizza Rs.250, chocolate fountain Rs.80. Buy fresh strawberries by the kg (Rs.200-400 depending on season). The factory tour is interesting for kids.

Venna Lake

1.5 hours · Go for rowing boat over pedal — better experience. The horse riding track around the lake is great for kids. Corn and strawberry cream stalls everywhere.

~₹150

Elephant's Head Point

45 min · The cliff face resembles an elephant's head. Best photos in morning light. Often combined with Arthur's Seat in one visit.

Lingmala Waterfall

1 hour · Two levels — the lower viewpoint is easier but upper viewpoint is far more impressive. 500 steps down. Monsoon only — completely dry other months.
