Hill getaway / PRIVATE TRIP

Ooty & Coonoor in Three Days

A third day makes the Nilgiris easier to enjoy. Use one base for both nights, keep the first afternoon local and reserve the middle day for Coonoor. If you book a mountain railway segment, arrange your driver’s pickup at the destination station before travelling.
