Trips from Coimbatore

Coimbatore is the gateway to the Nilgiris: Ooty and Coonoor are about 3 hours up the ghat road. Munnar is a hill drive via Udumalpet, and Mysuru and Coorg are reachable through the forests.

Coimbatore's airport connects to the metros for Goa, North India and international trips.

Getting the group there: For the Nilgiris and Munnar, a private cab from Coimbatore is the simplest option; the ghat roads have many hairpin bends, so we plan for a relaxed pace.
