Ketti Valley View Point The "Switzerland of South India". Ketti Valley View Point, located on the Ooty-Coonoor road in Tamil Nadu, offers a breathtaking panorama of one of the largest and most picturesque valleys in India Ketti Valley. Often referred to as the "Switzerland of South India," this vantage point sits at over 7,000 feet above sea level and is a must-visit for nature lovers and photographers. From the viewpoint, you can gaze down at a sweeping valley dotted with colorful houses, terraced farms, tea estates, and winding roads. The mist-laden hills, cool mountain breeze, and the sheer vastness of the landscape provide a tranquil escape from the bustle of city life. On a clear day, the view stretches all the way to the Coimbatore plains, with layers of blue-green mountains creating a dreamy backdrop. Ketti Valley is also home to several tribal communities and is known for its biodiversity and peaceful rural charm. The sound of chirping birds, the sight of the Nilgiri Mountain Railway weaving through the hills, and the calm environment make this a perfect spot for quiet reflection or scenic photography. Easily accessible by road, the viewpoint lies about 4 km from Ooty and is a popular stopover for those traveling to Coonoor.
