Met at the station, met at the stand
Arriving by the Nilgiri Mountain Railway, an overnight train into Coimbatore, or an overnight bus — a driver is waiting either way.
Many Ooty trips begin at Mettupalayam railway station — the starting point of the UNESCO-listed Nilgiri Mountain Railway — or at Coimbatore Junction for travellers arriving by overnight train from Chennai, Bangalore or further afield. Others arrive by overnight bus into the Ooty or Coimbatore bus stand.
We track train and bus arrival times where available, and the driver waits at the platform or stand with a name board. Luggage help is included, and the drive up into the hills starts as soon as you're in the car.
This is a point-to-point transfer, not a scheduled shuttle — the car is booked for you alone (or your group), at the time you actually arrive.
