"As a family from Salt Lake Kolkata, we were worried about the long journey. Rajesh arranged perfect Kolkata-Coimbatore morning flights and our driver Bablu (speaks Bengali) was waiting at airport. The weather transition from Kolkata heat to Ooty cool breeze was magical!"
"Our honeymoon from Kolkata was perfectly planned. The hotel in Ooty had mountain views we'll never forget. Rajesh understood we wanted privacy and relaxation after Kolkata's chaos. Mysore Palace was breathtaking - like stepping into a different era."

Frequently Asked Questions by Kolkata Travelers
Not with our optimized itinerary. We recommend Kolkata-Coimbatore morning flight (2.5h), then 3h scenic drive to Ooty. You'll reach by afternoon with energy for light sightseeing. The drive through Nilgiri hills is beautiful, not tiring.
Ooty is significantly cooler year-round. While Kolkata summer is 35-40°C, Ooty is 15-25°C. Winter (Dec-Feb) can be 5-20°C with chilly mornings. Always carry woolens, even in summer. The temperature drop from Kolkata is refreshing!
