Add the toy train, same price

Ride the Nilgiri Mountain Railway one way, and the same car and driver handle the rest of the day.

  • Option A: take the 9:15 AM train from Ooty to Coonoor; we pick you up at Coonoor station and visit the Army Museum on the way back to Ooty.
  • Option B: see Coonoor by car first, then take the 4:00 PM train back; we meet you at Ooty station.
  • You get train tickets yourself on IRCTC (Ooty = UAM, Coonoor = ONR). The toy train is in high demand, so get tickets early. Counter tickets exist but aren't guaranteed.

Quick questions

Can I change the order or add a place?

Within the tour, yes: change the order, skip a place, or add a café stop along the route. A place outside the route may need a different tour or cost extra, and we'll tell you before your day.

Are entry tickets included?

No. Entry tickets and parking are paid directly at each place.

What if it rains?

Your driver adjusts the order to make the most of the day. Weather changes aren't refunded.

Should we buy the driver a meal?

Never expected, and it isn't part of the price. If you stop to eat, offering your driver a meal is a kind gesture on a long day.
