for everyone.

adventure, nature, and relaxation.
Best Time to Visit:
Mysore: The best time
to visit is from October to March when the weather is pleasant. Summers can get
hot, so avoid peak summer months if you're not fond of heat.
Ooty: The ideal time to
visit Ooty is during summer (March to June) and winter (October to February),
as the weather remains cool and comfortable. During monsoon (June to
September), the region can get quite rainy, which might disrupt travel plans.
Coorg: Coorg is best
visited between October and March when the weather is pleasant and ideal for
outdoor activities like trekking and sightseeing. The monsoon months (June to
September) bring heavy rainfall, so be prepared for slippery paths and limited
outdoor activities during this time.
Travel Essentials:
Clothing: Since all
three places are hill stations, it’s advisable to carry light woolens or
sweaters even if visiting in summer. Nights can get chilly, especially in Ooty
and Coorg, so packing a jacket or shawl is a good idea.
Footwear: Comfortable
walking shoes are essential for sightseeing, especially if you plan to explore
gardens, parks, or go on treks in Coorg. In Ooty, if you're planning to take
the Toy Train, be sure to wear something comfortable for the ride and walks.
Sunscreen: Even in hill
stations, the sun can be intense, especially around midday, so carry sunscreen
to protect your skin.
Rain Gear: If traveling
during the monsoon season (June to September), carry umbrella or raincoats, as
rain can be unpredictable, especially in Ooty and Coorg.
Food and Drink:
Mysore: Don’t miss
local delicacies like Mysore Pak (a sweet treat), Ragi Mudde, and Bisi Bele
Bath (a rice dish). Mysore is also known for its filter coffee.
Ooty: Sample Ooty
Varkey (a local snack), chocolates made from fresh cocoa, and Nilgiri tea at
the tea estates. You can also enjoy a nice bowl of Hot Soup on chilly days.
