There is a reserved forest area around the peak. It is 9 km from Ooty, on the Ooty-Kotagiri Road in the Nilgiris District of Tamil Nadu, India. It is a popular tourist attraction with road access to the summit. It is the fourth highest peak in South India next to Anamudi, Mannamalai and Meesapulimala. The peaks Hecuba (2375 m), Kattadadu (2418 m) and Kulkudi (2439 m) are the three closely linked summits in the west of the Doddabetta range near to Udagamandalam. FloraThe area surrounding Doddabetta is mostly forested. Sholas cover the hollows of its slopes. Slightly stunted, rhododendron trees, in the midst of thick coarse grass, flowering sub-alpine shrubs and herbs are common, even very near the peak.[2][3] Telescope HouseThere is an observatory at the top of Doddabetta with two telescopes available for the public. It was opened on 18 June 1983 and is run by the Tamil Nadu Tourism Development Corporation (TTDC). The average number of viewers in 2001-2002 was 3500 per day in season and 700 per day in the off season.[4] References{{commons category}}1. ^1 2 {{Cite web|url=http://peaklist.org/WWlists/ultras/south_india.html|title=Southern Indian Subcontinent: 4 Mountain Summits with Prominence of 1,500 meters or greater|publisher=Peaklist.org|access-date=24 November 2011}} 2. ^{{Cite web|title=Places of Interest:Doddabetta |access-date=31 August 2007 |url=http://nilgiris.nic.in/placeofinterest.htm |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070929003437/http://nilgiris.nic.in/placeofinterest.htm |archivedate=29 September 2007 |df= }} 3. ^{{Cite web|publisher=National Informatics Centre, Nilgiris|access-date=31 August 2007|title=Hills and Peaks|url=http://www.nilgiris.tn.gov.in/newpages/hills_and__peaks.htm}} 4. ^{{cite web|publisher=National Informatics Centre, Nilgiris |date=20 August 2007 |title=Ooty, Nilgiris |url=http://www.nilgiris.tn.gov.in/OOTY.HTM |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110114053740/http://www.nilgiris.tn.gov.in/ooty.htm |archivedate=2011-01-14 |df= }} External links
