Ooty – Coonoor

A Journey on TOY Train J

For the last day of our stay in Ooty we decided to take a ride on Toy train to Coonoor, Because of time constrain we could not make it up to Mettupalayam, but as I heard from many people the stretch between Coonoor to Mettupalayam is too good compare to Ooty to Coonoor.





















From Ooty to Coonoor its around 20 mins and train journey will be of 1 hour 30 minutes. Nischith went to station and took tickets for us; general class tickets will cost 10/- rupees per head. There is no reservation policy for general class, everyone should stand in a que and guards will allow 10 people to one compartment.  

First class tickets that cost seventy five rupees per head are also available on this train, but since the numbers of first class seats are very limited, they got sold out very quickly.

The train will stop in 3 or 4 different stations; I have not noticed all the stations (actually we were busy in photo shoot).
























We reached Coonoor around 1.00PM by the time we reached Coonoor Vishwa was waiting for us in car and dropped us back to Ooty, on road hardly it will take 30 mins to reach Ooty. 


























Over all it was wonderful trip, train journey remained us the childhood days.    

Location: Coonoor, Tamil Nadu, India

Kabbalu betta trekking is one of the options for the hikers around bengaluru and located near Kanakapura talluku. Its   around 80Kms from Bengaluru. We have couple of options to reach Kabbalu:  Bangalore > Ramnagar > Chenpatna > Kabbalu (82 KMs) Bangalore > Kanakapura > Satanuru >Kabbalu (87 Kms) I had been to this place many times before but could not get a change to trek this hill, it is one of the best places for those who wish to start trekking.  Since it’s a last minute plan, could not invite anyone for this trekking. But the special thing about this trekking is my brother Kiran joined me for this trekking. It was the first trekking with my brother.  Just to escape from the weekend traffic and the heat we started early morning around 6.00AM from Bengaluru and took Kanakapura Road to reach our destination. Even though it’s a single road the drive was awesome, last night rain added more beauty to the surrounding environment. ...

Horsley Hills is one of the perfect weekend getaway from Bengaluru, a bike ride to Horsley Hills offers a thrilling and scenic adventure. Located in the Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh, Horsley Hills is approximately 150 KM from Bengaluru, making it an ideal destination for a short road trip.   We can take multiple routes to reach Horsley Hills but we chose,   Bengaluru – Hoskote – Chintamani – Madanapalle – Horsley Hills route. Its approximately 150 KM from Bengaluru and need 4-5 hours (depending on number of breaks we take).   The road conditions are generally good, with a mix of highways and country roads. After Hoskote, it's a single road, but the condition is relatively good. Be cautious of some potholes and patches after crossing Chintamani. Arvind and I started our ride at 5:30 AM to avoid city traffic and enjoy the cool morning breeze. The roads were relatively empty, and the slight drizzling added to the beauty of the journey. After riding for about 30 kilome...
