Ooty

Cool mornings, eucalyptus air and a toy train that takes its time.

Plan a trip here

Why go

Why Ooty is worth the journey.

  1. 01

    The Nilgiri Mountain Railway is a journey in itself, and the slower the better.

  2. 02

    Tea estates, rose gardens and a lake are all within an easy drive of each other.

  3. 03

    It is the nearest proper hill station for Coimbatore, so a long weekend really is enough.

Best time
March to June, and September to November
Avoid the heaviest rain in July and August if you want clear views.
From Chennai
9 hours by road, 8 by train to Mettupalayam
