Ooty — 2 Nights / 3 Days Tour
Package ID: TG-IN-001525
Tamil Nadu · Hill station — Udhagamandalam, known to everyone as Ooty, was the summer capital of the Madras Presidency and still has the tea, the eucalyptus and the colonial bones to show for it. The Nilgiri Mountain Railway is the thing that lifts it above other hill stations — a UNESCO-listed rack railway from Mettupalayam that climbs through sixteen tunnels and is one of the genuinely great train journeys in India. Book it well ahead; seats are limited and it sells out. The town itself is busier and more built-up than photographs suggest, so the plantations and Doddabetta are where the pleasure is. Two nights, and avoid the April–May Tamil Nadu holiday peak if you can. This 2-night tour is built around the destination's key sights, priced on enquiry and tailored to your dates — the day-by-day below is a flexible framework, confirmed with you at quotation.

Questions

Should I take the toy train up or down?
Up, from Mettupalayam, if you can get seats — the climb is the spectacular direction. Book well in advance either way; it is a small train with high demand.

April and May, during the Tamil Nadu school holidays and the flower show. Prices rise sharply and the roads into town back up.

It is a flexible framework built around Ooty's key sights. The exact day-by-day plan, specific hotels and final inclusions are tailored to your dates, pace and party at the quotation stage — add nights, nearby destinations or activities as you wish.
