  1. Apart from the above mentioned.

    You can also take the road from Mysore, which takes through the Bandipur forests. It was pleasurable road trip, when I last travelled.

    So it depends alot on which side are you going from.

    If you are going from Coimbatore side Best thing to do is to go to Mettupalayam and take the train to Ooty. The train is slow as it has to climb the hills, but it is a pleasure going through the hills. Several movies were shot at the train stations here and show the train - that scenic it is.  Coming back you can take the road.


  2. If ur goin by train go to either mettupalayam or coimbatore........d route is like dis coimbator-mettupalayam-ooty.......there is one train from chennai called blue mountain which goes to mettupalayam(place at d bottom of d hill).......  and then u have to take a bus or mountain train which goes from mettupalayam to ooty..... it takes a lot of time(train) but worth goin in it..... u can seen many scenic places.......another alternative is to go to coimbatore (there are many trains to coimbatore).....  from coimbatore there are many buses to ooty....there is also an airport in coimbatore.....suppose if ur getting down at coimbatore and if u want to go in d mountain train, take a bus from coimbatore to mettupalayam station...... its around 45 min travel.... The mountain train runs only twice a day....check out the timing in irctc website.....happy journey.........

  3. In addition to all, travel safe.

  4. You may take a bus.

  5. By train, road transport is not an alternative.

  6. Ooty is well connected by good motorable roads to other major cities of the state.A good network of roads and national highways connect Ooty with all major towns and cities. There are regular bus services to and from Coimbatore, Trichy, Bangalore, Madurai, Kanyakumari, Mysore, Palghat, Calicut, Tirupati and other important destinations in South India.

    Good motorable roads connect Ooty to the following:

    Bangalore- 290 kms

    Calicut- 178 kms

    Chennai- 535 km (via Salem, Mettupalayam)

    Coimbatore- 105 kms

    Mysore- 160 kms

    Air: The nearest airport is Coimbatore, 105 km from Ooty, which is connected with regular flights to and from Bangalore, Calicut, Chennai, Cochin, Madurai, Madras, Mumbai and Trivandrum by the means of by Indian Airlines.

    Rail: For a magnificent view of the hillside covered with forests, a train journey is recommended. The Nilgiri Express leaves Madras at night and reaches Coimbatore in the morning. It continues to the small town of Mettupalyam, at the foots of the mountains. From Mettupalyam, it connects to the Nilgiri Passenger to go to Ooty.
