Mettupalayam Railway Station → Ooty Railway Station
💡 Book class CC (Chair Car) online 30 days ahead on IRCTC — this steam train sells out fast. The final climb from Coonoor to Ooty is the most scenic. From Ooty station, it's a steep 15-min walk or ₹100 autorickshaw to Savoy.
Coimbatore (Gandhipuram Stand) → Ooty Bus Stand
💡 These Mahindra Sumos seat 7-8 people and leave once full. Cheaper than private taxi but bumpy — negotiate a seat next to the driver for legroom. Exit at Ooty stand, then walk or take a shared auto to Savoy.
Coimbatore International Airport (CJB) → Savoy Hotel, Ooty
💡 Book a prepaid taxi from the kiosk inside the arrivals hall to avoid haggling. The drive via NH 181 and the Kalhatty Ghat road is shorter but winding — carry motion sickness pills if you need them.
Mettupalayam Bus Stand → Ooty Bus Stand
💡 From Coimbatore, take any bus to Mettupalayam (₹50-60, 1 hr). Then board a blue TNSTC bus to Ooty — sit on the left side for valley views. The bus drops you at the Ooty stand, a 10-min walk to Savoy.
