| Pls. take into consideration that from the first week of June the onset of the monsoon season will impact your travel and your sightseeing plans at Ooty and Coonoor. More so in Ooty than Coonoor. And it definitely won't be easy going around when it is constantly raining. Just something to keep in mind! |

| Thanks for the update. I have made my decision. Planning to visit only Valparai this time as I am running short of time. I am watching the weather constantly. So whatever be the weather, I am still making my plans to go there. I heard it will be even more beautiful when it is raining. Will post you all the pictures after my trip! Thanks Padma |

Yes, once the monsoon has set, Ooty is not all that nice a place to visit especially for those who like the outdoors. The constant rain would leave very little to desire and you would end up remaining indoors most of the time. | |
