The most opportune time to visit the serene and scenic Pykara Waterfall in Ooty is during the monsoon and post-monsoon months, mainly stretching from July to October. During this period, the water levels are replenished by the seasonal rains, ensuring that the falls are at their most majestic and photogenic state. The monsoon doesn't just bring the waterfalls to life but also enhances the greenery of the surrounding landscapes making your trip visually rewarding. While the region might receive a fair amount of rainfall, the lush environs and the gushing waters often make the monsoon season a preferred choice for nature enthusiasts and photographers alike.
However, if you prefer to avoid the rain, the period between October and May offers a cooler and drier climate, ideal for sightseeing and other outdoor activities. You would be welcomed by a comfortable weather, making it pleasant to explore the area or engage in boating at the nearby Pykara Lake. Keep in mind that during peak tourist season, particularly from April to June, the places around Ooty and Pykara might be crowded as these months coincide with the summer holidays of schools in India. For a more tranquil experience, plan your visit on weekdays or opt for the shoulder months like October or March, when the tourist inflow is comparatively lesser.
