There is a reason why Udhagamandalam is famously crowned the “Queen of Hill Stations”. Lying in the heart of the green crests of the Nilgiri Hills, Ooty provides a cool change against the heat of the plains, attracting a host of travellers to its cloudy vistas and colonial ambience. It could be the nostalgic whistle of the mountain train, or the expansive tea plantations that fade away into the clouds, but an Ooty tour package in Chennai is the ultimate vacation when one wants to find tranquillity and nature. At IRCTC Tourism, we’ve crafted a journey that isn’t just about reaching a destination; it’s about immersing yourself in the soul of the Blue Mountains.
The adventure starts every Thursday. The train departs from Chennai Central at 21:05 hrs aboard the Nilgiri Express, letting the rhythmic clatter of the tracks lull you into a weekend state of mind.
You will get onto the famous Nilgiri Passenger Train after reaching Mettupalayam early in the morning on Friday. This ride through the World Heritage Mountain Railway is the best thing about the trip, with panoramic scenery as you climb into the clouds. As soon as you arrive at Ooty, we shall book in at the hotel and go directly to Ooty sightseeing packages, such as the serene Ooty Lake and the colorful Botanical Gardens.
Saturday is for nature lovers. You will visit Pykara Falls and its accompanying lake before heading toward the Mudumalai Wildlife Sanctuary. Here, you can witness the majesty of the Elephant Camp and enjoy a jungle ride through one of India’s most vital forest reserves.
On Sunday, you will check out of your room and travel to Doddabetta Peak to have a bird’s-eye view of the district and then explore the history of tea in the local museum. It is here that your Coonoor tour package part starts with a drive to Sims Park, Lambs Rock and the breathtaking Dolphin Nose. It gets dark, and we take our reversible train back to Mettupalayam, and on Monday morning, we head back to Chennai with a heart full of memories.
We believe in providing completely transparent and fair information to our guests. The following are the prices per individual, based on the size of your group:
| Category | 2-3 Pax (Price/Person) | 4-6 Pax (Price/Person) |

You simply books your travel package with IRCTC Tourism, and we do the rest so that you can concentrate on the scenery. Your package includes:
Although there are numerous places to visit in Mettupalayam and Ooty, safety and the preservation of the environment should be of the first importance. We encourage all our guests to leave single-use plastics at home as part of our sustainability efforts. It should be borne in mind that the Forest Department decides when to open the wildlife sanctuaries, and the weather in the mountains may occasionally cause changes in the itinerary. We also recommend that seniors, heart patients or people with blood pressure problems should be wary of the elevation.
The Nilgiris are calling, and there could be no better mode of responding than booking a package with IRCTC Tourism that is trusted. The Ooty Tour package of Chennai is meant to provide you with an all-inclusive, care-free experience of the Queen of Hill stations. Between the mists of Doddabetta and the green gardens of Coonoor, each mile would be a tale to relate. It is never too soon to reserve your berth and let the mountains do their magic.
