Travel Beginner’s Guide to Ooty

Udhagamandalam, lovingly known as Ooty, is set in the breathtaking Western Ghats in Tamil Nadu. The magic of this sleepy little resort town is that it has managed to preserve the quaint charm that attracted a number of tourists flocking to it every year. Though it is equipped with all modern amenities, the town is still remarkably attached to the serenity covering it for years.

So if you’re planning to travel to Ooty for your first time trip, here is all we have compiled for you. So sit back and relax when you are in Ooty after the daily bustle of life is away from you. All you need to do is book an International Flight Ticket Online from USA to India with Flyopedia and our team will do the rest of the planning for you.

Where to stay in Ooty

If you are a city person through and through, hotels are your obvious choice. However, just anything won’t do. You need to go to the Sterling Ooty Fern Hill which has more than 3.5k reviews on TripAdvisor, with a rating of 4.5. The place has terracotta tiles and sloping roofs to remind you of an era gone by.

Along with free parking and free internet, you have access to the restaurant, the children’s playground and airport transportation is available when you need it. Apart from this, you can have fun with games like badminton and archery. This place is great for families as well as couples.

But if you’re looking for a distinctly romantic getaway, we recommend AirBnB Smyrna Guest House hosted by David Jill which offers a honeymoon suite, a private room with shared spaces. Set aside the delicious complimentary breakfast, you get to stay in a 180- year old house in one of the 6 rooms.

Surrounded by tea fields, you get to soak in the beautiful views of flora and fauna. The proceeds from the Guest House will go entirely to charities owned by the Smyrna Fellowship Trust and should you be interested, the hosts are available to give you the opportunity to interact with their community readily.

When To Stay

Stay at the place after you get flight ticket booking from USA to India done with Flyopedia. Our team is available for you anytime and can prepare your travel itinerary from start to end, should you need it.

For a unique experience away from the city, you can stay in the A- frame cabins hosted by Hijas on AirBnB. Bask in the mountain and valley views on the private balcony or the shared back garden. You can also spend some time barbecuing or lounge on a hammock. The dining and kitchen area are outdoors and breakfast is provided.

Where to eat in Ooty

Start with a light, healthy breakfast of dosas or idlis at the Garden Restaurant and go for a hearty lunch in Fern Hill at Curry and Rice for some mind- blowing Armenian cuisine, or in Elk Hill at Hyderabadi Biryani House.

For the evening boost of energy, opt for an Instagram- worthy place in Marlimund at Earl’s Secret, which is a stunning glass house where you can partake in the scrumptious Pasta Primavera and Scotch Eggs. You can also go for Ooty Coffee House or Nahar’s Sidewalk Café that is great for its wood fire- oven pizza.

You can end your day with dinner at Shinkows, renowned for Chilli Buff and Chopsuey or head off to Ascot Multi- cuisine Restaurant for a delectable just- off- the- grill barbecue. For desserts, taste some from the boxful of renowned Ooty chocolates at Kingstar Confectionery.

Ooty is a place for tranquility, so book international flight tickets online in India and visit this little dreamland for a relaxing getaway, even if you are just beginning your travel journey.
