About this Place
The Arboretum Tree Garden, also known as Tree Park, is a serene and meticulously maintained botanical space nestled in Udhagamandalam (Ooty), Tamil Nadu. Established in 1992, its primary mission is the conservation of native and indigenous tree species, serving as a vital extension of Ooty's renowned Government Botanical Garden.
Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the Arboretum plays a crucial ecological role by rehabilitating the micro watershed area leading to Ooty Lake, which had been impacted by urban waste and agricultural chemicals. It actively contributes to preserving the Nilgiri region's ecological balance, providing a natural habitat for both indigenous and migratory birds.
Visitors can immerse themselves in a tranquil environment featuring well-laid paths, lush lawns, and comfortable benches, perfect for relaxation. The garden showcases a wide variety of trees, including many unique temperate climate species.
It's an ideal spot for leisurely walks, family picnics, and nature photography, offering a calm ambiance away from the more crowded tourist destinations. Maintained by the Tamil Nadu Hill Area Development Authority, it promises a peaceful and rejuvenating experience.
