(Tamil Nadu)


Pride of the Niligris

The train chugs out from near Mettupalayam and winds its way around the verdant greens, passing through many tunnels. Halfway uphill, if you put your hands out, you can actually feel the mist. And you get one of the best views of the valley. Welcome to Ooty, the Queen of Hills, the Scotland of the East.

At a Glance
Ooty is up in the Nilgiri Hills, the Blue Mountains in Tamil Nadu. The nearest major rail head and airport is Coimbatore about 90 km away from Ooty.
When to Visit:
At 2,240 m above sea level, the climate is generally cold. The mercury swings between 0C to 10C in winter, going up to a pleasant 25C in summer. The tourist season starts in April and continues through June and then the rain sets in. Ooty becomes sought after again from September through November. During the season, Ooty is crammed with people and cars and everyone is out to fleece you. So, if you do not mind the rain and think you could manage with raincoats and umbrellas, then Ooty is waiting.
Orientation & Getting Around:
Taxis and jeeps are the preferred modes of transport, but the hill town is best explored on foot. Autos are also available in plenty, but rates need to be negotiated. Buses ply between all important points of this hill station.
