Planning Bangalore to Ooty by luxury tempo traveller
Ooty is a three-day trip for most Bangalore groups, and the drive itself is part of the experience: two forest reserves, wildlife sightings at dawn and a steep ghat into the Nilgiris. The luxury tempo traveller handles the climb comfortably with nine or ten people, and the 2+1 seats with a centre aisle make the hairpin bends easier for anyone prone to motion sickness — the single seats by the window are worth reserving for them.
On the road
Bandipur and Mudumalai forest roads are closed to traffic from 9 pm to 6 am, so we time departures to cross in daylight. From Mudumalai there are two ways up: the short, steep Kalhatti ghat with 36 hairpins, or the longer, gentler route via Gudalur and Naduvattam. The driver chooses based on the group, weather and whether elders are on board. Expect cooler temperatures — pack a jacket even in summer.

- Ooty lake, Botanical Garden and Rose Garden
- Doddabetta peak and the tea factory museum
- Coonoor — Sim's Park, Dolphin's Nose and Lamb's Rock
