Pickup for the group
At six o'clock the mini bus is waiting outside the school, office or community hall your group has picked; it carries 14 to 25. Tuesday is a bad day to finish the holiday with Mysore sightseeing, since the zoo and Karanji lake both stay closed that day, so plan the return around it. This morning we take the Nanjangud highway out of the city. Coonoor is 180 km south, roughly five and a half hours with three meal and tea halts.

Breakfast and fuel
We pass Nanjangud and stop for breakfast at Gundlupet, 60 km out. Hardly any monsoon rain reaches this plain, perhaps 60 cm a year, because the hills to the west soak it up, and the town sits about 816 m above the sea; mornings are generally bright. Thirty minutes lets twenty people eat and settle back in. Make it a firm rule that everyone visits the toilet, as the coming forests forbid any halt.

Forest drive
Herds travelling between Nagarhole and this park use Bandipur as a corridor, and they often linger near the tarmac. Our driver keeps the mini bus slow and never stops by choice; if elephants block the way, he waits well back with the engine running until they cross. Passengers stay seated and enjoy the view. Soon a check post marks the move into Tamil Nadu, where the same forest is called Mudumalai.

Tea halt
At Gudalur, 110 km along, the mini bus halts for tea and toilets. Higher up the Ooty road, some 20 to 24 km short of Ooty, are Pykara falls and lake, with boating, worth remembering for a free day later in the trip. Today the halt stays at fifteen minutes. The next 50 km are hairpins and climbing, so put anyone prone to motion sickness in the front rows. Water bottles should be refilled at this halt.

Lunch
Lunch for the group is in Ooty, 160 km out. Two buys travel well for a big party; Ooty varkey, the crunchy baked snack that carries a GI tag, and packets of Nilgiri tea, the district's black tea. An hour covers eating and shopping. Afterwards the mini bus heads down the Mettupalayam road for the last 17 to 19 km to Coonoor, a short and gentle run. Sweaters on before the group steps out; the air is cold here.

Drop at the stay
The mini bus arrives in Coonoor roughly five and a half hours after the pickup. Plantations of tea and coffee cover the ridges round the town. We take the group to its hotel; if a cottage lane is too tight for the mini bus, we park on the main road and the hotel's vehicle or a short walk covers the rest. Coonoor evenings are cool, so jackets should be easy to reach.
Need a Mysore to Coonoor mini bus for 20 friends and a weekend in the tea hills? It handles the Nilgiri bends well and fits most resort gates. Ask for mini bus on rent in Mysore. We pick up from the Mysuru railway station, a hostel or two homes.

It is about 180 km from Mysore to Coonoor and roughly 360 km to come back as well. The mini bus needs about five and a half hours, with breakfast at Gundlupet, tea at Gudalur and lunch in Ooty. The route runs past Nanjangud, across Bandipur and Mudumalai, up the Gudalur ghat to Ooty and down about 18 km to Coonoor. Bandipur is closed to traffic at night.

If the return runs late at night, the driver gets a night allowance. You see it in the quote first. ₹600 to ₹700, by size a night is the mini bus rate.
Yes, between Coonoor and Ooty. Tickets sell out, so book early; the mini bus meets you at the other end.
No. A 20 seater for two days, 600 km is ₹20,400, with ₹1,400 allowance for the driver. Tolls, Tamil Nadu entry tax, parking and GST come on top.
Yes, ask us. One way costs ₹2 more per km than the return rate; the quote states the km.
Colder than most visitors expect. At about 1,850 m the town has recorded a low of about minus 0.5 C, and December and January nights are properly chilly, with crisp mornings to follow. Pack sweaters, caps and socks for everyone. If your group has elders or very young children, pick a stay that offers heaters or extra blankets.
It is a long day, roughly five and a half hours with halts, so plan some rest. Seat elders up front, make sure they use the toilet at Gundlupet before the forest, and give them a light lunch before the final stretch. The ghat after Gudalur bends a lot but the speed is slow. Keep their tablets, water and a shawl within reach.
