Doddabetta Peak

India / Tamil Nadu / Nilagiri /
 mountain, peak, tourist attraction
Second highest peak in south India, Highest peak in Tamil Nadu. [This is questionable. As per Survey of India maps, the two following peaks - i) Meesapulimala and ii) another peak immediately to the north of Meesapulimala, (both in the Theni-Idukki border area) are quite possibly higher than Doddabetta, while also being on the Tamil Nadu - Kerala border. If true, Doddabetta would be the fourth highest peak in south India and the third highest peak in Tamil Nadu.]

It is also the highest peak highest peak of the Nilgiris and the highest in the Kaveri River Basin.

Doda means -> Huge.
Betta means -> Mountain.
