Trade the city for cool mist, tea-covered slopes and quiet viewpoints on this weekend escape to the Nilgiris. In three days you’ll see Ooty, Coonoor and Kotagiri, with comfortable travel from Bangalore and a hotel stay arranged for you.

Escape to the Blue Mountains

Picture cool mist rolling over tea-covered slopes, the smell of eucalyptus and pine, and a hot cup of chai in your hands. This 3-day, 2-night getaway takes you from Bangalore to three of the Nilgiris’ best-loved hill stations: lively Ooty , scenic Coonoor and peaceful Kotagiri . Overnight bus travel, a comfortable hotel stay and a friendly tour captain are all arranged, so all you have to do is soak it in.

Three hill stations, three moods

Ooty, the Queen of Hills

Ooty is the classic Nilgiris experience, with sprawling botanical gardens, a famous rose garden, a forest-fringed lake and colonial-era charm in every corner. Cool weather and easy sightseeing make it ideal for families, couples and first-time visitors.

Coonoor, tea trails and the toy train

A short ride down the mountain, Coonoor is quieter and greener than Ooty. Here you’ll find tea estates, a beautifully kept park and dramatic viewpoints like Lamb’s Rock and Dolphin’s Nose. The optional ride on the UNESCO-listed Nilgiri Mountain Railway, through tunnels, over bridges and past tea gardens, is a highlight for many travellers.

Kotagiri, the quiet gem

Kotagiri is the Nilgiris’ most peaceful corner, far from the crowds. Expect a twin-tiered waterfall, wide valley views and endless tea estates, which makes it a perfect last day for slowing down.
