Bangalore - Ooty Trip [Day 1]

I thought it will be helpful to write a blog for my trip to some of those who wish to plan a trip to Ooty from Bangalore either by bike or car. It was a team of 6 people. Best thing about this trip was Place of stay like hotels and cottage was booked prier we started the journey, so that we don’t face problems in locating a decent accommodation and the placed that we visited was completely unplanned. None of us had any expectation that once we reach ooty we will see only these places. I tried to search the net for some experiences but all those could not give me a confidence and some of them even discouraged me to go ahead with the trip. The fear was due to descriptions of a dense forest, wild animals and hill driving especially with hair-pin bends.




We started our journey on 6th August 2010 at 4Pm taking the newly built NICE Road. The journey from Bangalore to Mysore was cool as the road was very good with a moderate speed of 60-65 km/h. We took a coffee break after travelling continuously for 2 hour at Cafe Coffee day on the way to Mysore. Cafe coffee day was pretty good neat and clean and properly maintained. We reached Mysore at 8pm. It took us hardly 15 min to locate the hotel.


The open air Restaurant on the hotel roof top was amazing enough to give a nice eve.  Beautiful lighting view at Mysore place was making the dinner a memorable one. We sat their enjoying the view and talking till almost 12:30 midnight. It was too last to even think of giving a early start next morning .
