Best Route
The Kochi to Ooty Hill Station Drive
The Kochi to Ooty drive takes you from Kerala's commercial capital through Thrissur and Palakkad into Tamil Nadu. After crossing the Palakkad Gap — the only significant break in the Western Ghats — you reach Coimbatore and then climb the famous 36 hairpin bends to Ooty.
Ooty (Udhagamandalam) sits at 2,240 metres in the Nilgiri Hills and is one of South India's most popular hill stations. The botanical gardens, Ooty Lake, tea estates and the heritage Nilgiri Mountain Railway make it a favourite for families and honeymooners.
The route is well-maintained with a mix of highway and ghat sections. Our drivers handle the Nilgiri hairpin bends with confidence, having driven this route many times.
