Answer 1

4. Suggestion: go to Mettupalayam (different spellings; station code MTP), stay there for a night, then travel up to Ooty with the Nilgiri Mountain Railway (world heritage). Train takes 4h30' and leaves at 7AM.  You can book your ticket or check availability at Indian railway booking site at http://www.irctc.co.in

You can then spend some time in Ooty, and take the bus to Bangalore.

1. Bus: very frequent busses from Bangalore to Mysore; less frequent from Mysore to Ooty (partly trough Wildlife Sanctuary).  There are also direct bus services from Bangalore.

To give an idea about the fare: Ooty - Mysore was 74 Rp two weeks ago for KSRTC (gvmt) bus; it took about 5 hrs (155 km).

On http://ksrtc.in/AWATAREnquiry.htm you can find the phone number of the bus stand in Ooty to get the latest info: 4546464.

If you want to go by train, I think you need to go through Coimbatore.

2. Do you mean hotel cost?  For 400 Rp you'll have a decent room.

3. Botanical garden; boating on the lake; the landscape and views (which you can also see during the many stops of the mountain train trip).  See also http://www.ooty.com/ and http://www.ootycottage.com/ooty-informat...
