Black Thunder water park

Slides, a wave pool and a lazy river at the foot of the Nilgiris, a classic Kovai family day out.

What to expect

A full day out: a wave pool, Surf Hill, a lazy river and 35 water rides at the foot of the Nilgiris.

Where
On the Mettupalayam–Ooty highway, about 40 km north of the city
The park
About 60 acres with 70+ rides and attractions, 35 of them water rides. Open since 1997.
Good to know
Slides are foam-padded. Try the Wave Pool, Surf Hill and Lazy River.
Our tips
  • Carry a change of clothes.
  • It's on the way to Mettupalayam, so you can pair it with the toy train.
