Here, on the shores of the lake, you can set your eyes and mind free, and be lost in the wild beauty of this virgin landscape.
The lake set in the backdrop of rising peaks of the Nilgiris and misty tea plantations is a perfect spot to enjoy scenes of sunrise and sunset. Ideal for a day of relaxation with friends or family, Emerald Lake will treat you with a gorgeous landscape and the calm of the wilderness, where you can be at one with Nature the whole day. With its open sky, opulent greenery, misty tea gardens, and calm blue waters, the Emerald Lake is a heaven for photographers and Nature-lovers. The explosion of colours in the skies at dawn and dusk turns the entire landscape into a surreal painting. Head to the lake to experience the enchanting view of the red sun rising and setting behind the misty green mountains. The ever-present fog, constantly rolling in and out of the surrounding tea gardens, adds a mystic charm to the landscape.
