Taxi unions have made it such that there are no two wheeler rentals in Ooty. However, some providers are secretly providing bikes on rent. When we rented the same, we didn't encounter any problems.

Please suggest Which hotel place is good for exploring all the site seeing in ooty ?

[@ailiajameel7334]

Love how detailed the video is, my friend and I plan to travel in October, just the two of us, however I'd really like to understand, that if you rented out the bike against the ban of rentals, doesn't the town have traffic police that would check if you're riding bikes? Were you enquired or something by the traffic police? I would really like to get a bike instead of spending on autos or cabs. Hope you could respond :) TIA

[@XploreTheEarth]

The taxi union has made it such that there are no scooty rentals. Police didn't seem to care about it. So, there is no ban per se by a government authority. We didn't encounter any problem per se.

[@avantikatewari6760]

Can you please suggest me which is better to visit from Bangalore among Ooty, Coorg and Puducherry in budget in the month of July

[@XploreTheEarth]

Hey, al three are worth visiting. If I were you, I would have gone for Pondicherry.

[@suyogst]

How was your experience with the cab driver you have mentioned. Would you recommend booking through them? I am going this month

[@XploreTheEarth]

We hired a cab for 1 day site-seeing of Conoor. He was a decent guy, showed us the places that were promised. However he won’t go off his itinerary and only show you the places that are promised which are the typical and popular spots. So best to decide terms with them. Also they will over-promise a little and under-deliver so be a little prudent in expecting 😅

[@suyogst]

​@@XploreTheEarththanks a lot. Can you please tell me the specific vendor name for which you have provided this review since your video mentions multiple providers?

[@XploreTheEarth]

@@suyogst hey) Try your luck by searching ‘bike rental’ on google maps! A few vendors will pop-up. Try calling them up and checking if they can provide because the vendors availability keeps changing. Best to reachout to them directly! 🙌🏽

Can u tell me, whether the night bus is available from Ooty to Mysore?

[@XploreTheEarth]

Not sure. Don’t have the update info for this

[@abhishekpattanaik27]

Thanks a lot for a detailed video on Ooty. Just wanted to know how easy would it be to stay in Coonoor and cover all these places.

[@XploreTheEarth]

Thanks for appreciating and glad the video was useful! 🙌🏽 You can stay in Conoor and visit all the places as well! It would be ideal if you have your own vehicle for this as the distances might be little linger for a few places to cover in a day and Taxis might be a little reluctant in taking you to far off places. Maybe (but you can check with them and they might be ok for a little higher price)

[@prafullayadav3382]

We are planning trip to Ooty in the mid of May month. Is it worth visiting in the month of May? Too hot? No greenery? Please advise.

[@XploreTheEarth]

Yes! It will be worth visiting. It won’t be too hot. Might be warm and sunny with Few cloudy days. It will be little dry, but by May, Ooty can receive a few showers so it starts getting back green unlike March April when it is at driest.

[@XploreTheEarth]

Thank you so much! It can vary and will be on the higher end if you manage to find it. Since it is legally not allowed to rent out 2 wheelers in Ooty. We found someone through Google Maps search who was ready to offer it to us under the table for about INR 800 per day for a TVS Jupiter.

How many days u took to visit these 27 places

[@XploreTheEarth]

We were in Ooty for 3 full days. We managed to cover most of these places. Some of them like Avalanche lake were almost dried up, so we didn’t take the jeep all the way and decided to skip from the Forest ticket post. However we were travelling for the purpose of capturing videos so we rushed through the places. In order to truly enjoy and make most of you time, you would need atleast 4 days to cover all 27 places according to us! Hope that helps

Can we cover all these 27 places in 3 days? In the video, these places are arranged by nearby distance to each other?

[@XploreTheEarth]

Visiting all 27 in three days, seems like a big task where your itinerary will be really, really very packed. we were just trying that because you won’t enjoy each place to the fullest. we have tried to organise them in three clusters, so you can take one cluster per day and visit the type of sports that you enjoy and live from the options that you have. Although each of the cluster will take you one day to cover from early morning till evening.

[@yuvrajsinhtank1361]

Can you pl. Provide the list of all places you have covered in single frame. Like total 20+ places you have visited. Want to details of all in single frame

[@XploreTheEarth]

You can use the custom google map link in description to open and see the locations mentioned in one place as a list on the map. Or else, our travel guide for Ooty is launching this Wednesday 28th August. That is a 10 page pdf document with custom maps with day wise itinerary, complete lists of all places in each clusters, property links, restaurant lists and links and other info and pics all summarised and organising in 1 frame.
