Climb up and witness a 360 degree view of valleys, hills and beyond. The steep trek takes you to the peak which is known as ‘ Oosi Malai’, which has a conical shape. The word Oosi means needle and Malai means mountain in Tamil and hence called ‘Needle Rock’. It is located in Gudalur which is 51 kms away from Ooty. One has to climb up almost one kilometer to reach the peak. The sunset view from the peak is dreamlike. Presence of Tiger is another point of attraction, if you are lucky enough you may get to spot one.
