Tentative trip schedule
Leave Bangalore at 6 AM. The road goes through Mandya, Mysore and Gundlupet, about 300 km and 6 hours of driving, with a breakfast stop near Maddur or Mysore. After Gundlupet it runs through Bandipur and then Mudumalai forest. Vehicles cannot stop or feed animals inside, so take photos from your seat.
This forest road is closed to traffic from 9 PM to 6 AM, which is why the plan leaves early and starts back early.

Distance and stops on the way: Bangalore to Ooty distance.
From Gudalur the vehicle climbs about 45 km of ghat to Ooty. Check in, have lunch, then go to the Botanical Garden in town. Keep about an hour and a half.
Pedal boats and motor boats on the lake. On weekends the boat queue can take an hour. Evenings are cold through the year, so keep a sweater in the vehicle.
About 10 km from town and the highest point in the Nilgiris. Go early, because mist often covers the view by late morning.
On the way down from Doddabetta. See how the leaf is dried and rolled, and buy tea straight from the factory.
About 20 km from Ooty on the Gudalur road. Boating at the Pykara boat house, then the falls a little ahead. Stop at the Shooting Point at 9th Mile on the way for photos.
Back in town, a terraced garden on the slope facing Ooty. It is at its best from April to June.
Coonoor is about 19 km down from Ooty. Some groups take the Nilgiri toy train from Ooty to Coonoor; book the tickets well ahead, and our driver brings the vehicle down and picks you up at Coonoor station. Dolphin's Nose looks out over Catherine Falls, and Sim's Park is a hillside garden near the town.
Leave Coonoor by 1 PM so the vehicle crosses the Bandipur forest well before it closes at 9 PM. You reach Bangalore around 9 to 10 PM.
