Ooty Sightseeing by Auto and Local Transport

 

Are you planning your holiday trip to Ooty? There are a lot of things that you should consider while planning a trip. The most important things that you need to think about are your travel, accommodation, and sightseeing in the town. If you are going to travel to Ooty by train or bus, then you should think of how you going to go sightseeing around the city. You can choose to use the local transport in Ooty or go Ooty sightseeing by auto. 

 

Using the local transport

If you are the adventurous type and want to get the real “local” feel when you visit a new town, using the local transport is a great way to do it. As you use the local buses, you will get an opportunity to meet the locals. There are town buses that ply around Ooty and to the neighboring villages. If you want to go to Coonoor, you can go to the main bus stand and then board a bus from there. You can board a town bus to Ooty Lake near Ooty market. If you are planning to go to Pykara or Wenock Downs (popularly known as 6th mile and 9th mile), you can board Pykara, Gudalur, or Mysore bus from Ooty main bus stand. These tourist spots are request stops in the buses, so make sure you check with the conductor before you board the bus. However, there are no local buses that go to Botanical garden or Doddabetta, so it would be a better option to take an auto rickshaw.

 

Ooty Sightseeing by Auto

If you are booking an auto for the full day, it would be a good idea to talk to the hotel reception and ask if they can arrange an auto for you. When you hire the auto for the whole day, check about the places that you want to visit and the number of waiting hours. The other simpler option would be to combine walking and hiring an auto. If you enjoy walking, you can walk to the places of interest nearby and then take an auto to attractions that are a little far away. Walking will also give you a chance to do some window shopping or maybe real shopping. 

 

If you are planning an auto sightseeing trip, go to Doddabetta first thing in the morning. The auto charge from Charring Cross or Market to the Doddabetta peak and back is usually in the range of Rs. 600 to 800. While coming back, you can ask the auto driver to drop you at the Botanical Garden. On average, you can spend two to three hours in the Garden. After you come out, you can walk down the road and do some street shopping on the way. You can board an auto from near the Botanical Garden to Ooty Lake. The charge may be around Rs 150 to 200. If you’re planning to go boating, you will need two to three hours at the Lake. So, your entire afternoon and early evening may be spent here. You can come out and visit the other attractions like Thread garden and Dinosaur park nearby. From here, you can take an auto back to your hotel or enjoy some time shopping on Commercial Road.

 

There are auto stands almost everywhere inside Ooty town, so you can easily find an auto to go to any part of the town. However, it would be a good idea to check the auto fare with a couple of auto rickshaws to find out if they are over charging you.
