Coimbatore to Coonoor travel

bhushan2005

Hi,

I am going to Coonoor-Ooty-Vythiri for my honeymoon during november end. How should i go to coonoor from coimbatore airport?

Are there any government run buses from coimbatore to coonoor? Or should i take the train? or cab? which would be more scenic?

Also, what are good hotels to stay in coonoor.

There are plenty of Govt. busses from Coimbatore to Coonoor. However, these are not from the airport. You will need to go to the city centre first! A cab from the airport directly to Coonoor is the most expensive but fastest (less than 2.5 hours) and most convenient option.

If you want to take a train (which is the slowest option but most scenic), you will need to go from Coimbatore to Mettupalayam (around an hour) and then take the train from there. However, there is only 1 train per day at around 7:30AM! Unless you are arriving in Mettupalayam by the train from chennai, to take this will usually mean you need to spend the night in Mettupalayam!

Good hotels in Coonoor? Not many. If your budget allows it, stay at the Taj Garden Retreat! Otherwise consider Vivek!

Hi Bhushan,

As you are going on a honeymoon, dont mind the expense. Anyways you are flying down to Coimbatore, you might as well as take a cab to Coonoor. Enjoy the scenery enroute. Stop at vantage places, take photographs and enjoy nature.
