Pickup at your door
Half past six is the time to set off, and the car calls at your house, hotel or the station in Mysuru. Four travellers fit a sedan comfortably; a family of six or seven is happier in an Innova, with the woollens in the boot. Gifts for hosts in Coonoor? Sandalwood oil and agarbathi come straight from the government factory at Ashokapuram, and the driver can call there on the homeward run as well. We head out on the Nanjangud road. It is 180 km to Coonoor, roughly four and a half hours including halts.
Breakfast and fuel
Nanjangud flashes past, and the first real halt is Gundlupet, sixty km along, for breakfast and diesel. Visit between June and August and you will find whole fields of sunflower and marigold beside the road out of town. With a car it is easy to pull in for a picture; the farmer usually wants a few rupees, and picking the blooms is not allowed. Keep the halt to about fifteen minutes. The road from here becomes NH 181, and 120 km still separate you from Coonoor.
Drive through
Few highways in India show you wild animals without a safari ticket, and Bandipur's is one of them. Spotted deer graze at the edge, langurs sit on the culverts, and with luck an elephant or a giant squirrel appears. Your car must keep moving, since those who pulled over have been fined, so let the windows do the work. After a while the trees carry on into Mudumalai on the Tamil Nadu side. Night traffic is barred from nine till six, which is why this run happens in the morning.
Tea halt
Gudalur, 110 km from home, makes a ten minute tea stop. Until 1877 this corner was counted as part of Malabar, and you will still hear more Malayalam than Tamil at the stalls. Use the restroom here. The climb begins right after town, and on the way up you pass two famous lookouts, Needle Rock and Frog Hill, either of which suits a five minute pause by car. Ooty lies about 50 km up the ghat, and Coonoor another 18 or so beyond it.
Lunch
Ooty, 160 km out, is where you eat. Rose lovers can add half an hour for the government garden on Elk Hill, planted with more than 20,000 varieties, a short hop from the lake. Otherwise pick up a pack of Nilgiri tea after the meal and roll on. Coonoor sits roughly 17 to 19 km away down the Mettupalayam road, an easy descent. Season weekends clog Ooty's centre, so forty minutes is a sensible limit for the stop.
Drop at your stay
After about four and a half hours the car reaches Coonoor, which stands near 1,850 m and feels a shade warmer than Ooty. Estates of tea and some coffee cover the hills around, and the driver brings you right to the cottage or hotel. If you later plan to drive down to the plains, remember the Coonoor ghat has 14 numbered hairpins to Mettupalayam, and in the rush season traffic goes up this way and down by Kotagiri; ask us before you fix that day.

We (15 families) hired a bus from Tejas to one of the resort at Kanakpura. Interacted with Lakshmi madam and requested her to provide a good Cab . The bus reached at exact time for pickup, the bus was extremely good and looked a new one only. Thanks Tejas team and Lakshmi madam, it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend to avail their services.

By car, Coonoor is about 180 km from Mysore, which means about 360 km if you return with us. Allow around four and a half hours one way, with breakfast at Gundlupet, tea at Gudalur and lunch in Ooty. The road passes Nanjangud, cuts through two forest reserves and then climbs from Gudalur, dropping the last 18 km from Ooty. Bandipur stays shut to traffic overnight.
They are not. For two days, 600 km the car hire is Dzire ₹8,000 Etios ₹9,200 Innova ₹11,600 and Innova Crysta ₹12,800. Coonoor extras: driver bata, tolls, Tamil Nadu entry tax, parking and GST.
Yes. Tell us the date and we quote the drop in writing; one way runs ₹2 per km over the return rate.
Coonoor: driving after 10 pm adds the driver night allowance, ₹400 a night.
Innova Crysta. All cars on cab rental in Mysore.
Yes. Ride the train between Coonoor and Ooty; our driver meets you at the other station.
Later than you might think. Coonoor collects around 1,668 mm in a year, and its wettest spell is October and November, after Mysore's own rains have eased. The roads remain open, but mist and wet bends make for slower driving. The Gudalur side of the hills gets its heaviest rain from June to August. For dry, clear views, January to May works best.
Usually without trouble. We pause at Gundlupet, Gudalur and Ooty, so no stretch runs much beyond an hour. Because the forest has no halts, everyone visits the restroom at Gundlupet. On the ghat, a light meal and a window seat keep queasy stomachs settled. Carry one warm layer per child, since Coonoor turns cool once the sun drops.
