Doddabetta is the highest peak in the Nilgiri Mountains of Tamil Nadu, standing at 2,637 meters (8,652 feet).

The area around the peak is covered in dense shola forests and sub-alpine shrubs, creating a rich natural habitat. Visitors can reach the summit by road or trek along a 3-kilometer trail through grassy slopes.
