Doddabetta Peak has been closed to tourists since August this year
With the second tourist season on the verge of starting in the Nilgiris, preparations are under way to reopen one of the main tourist attractions of the town – the Doddabetta Peak.
According to officials, the Doddabetta Peak has been closed to tourists since August of this year, when heavy rain caused landslips and tree-falls along the road leading up to the peak, damaging the road heavily and making it unsafe for tourist vehicles to ascend up to the peak.
The Doddabetta Eco-Development Committee (EDC), which is managed by the Tamil Nadu Forest Department, also provides employment opportunities for local communities and also brings revenue to other small businesses such as tea stalls, bakeries and restaurants around the area.
