Ooty Botanical Gardens based on the lower slopes of the Doddabetta peak, the Government Botanical Garden is a fabulous garden in Udhagamandalam, close to Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu. Sprawled over a region of 22 hectares, the nursery is isolated into several sections that are managed delightfully to present a charming sight. The biggest fascination of the nursery is the fossil tree trunk that is put on display. The storage compartment dates back to an incredible 20 million years prior and was presented by the Geological Survey of India, from the National Fossil Park, Thiruvakkarai.
