A royal city, the coffee hills of Coorg and the Queen of Hill Stations — the classic Mysore, Coorg and Ooty circuit in six days, planned from Chennai.
This Mysore Ooty tour from Chennai follows our six-day Mysore–Coorg–Ooty package: one night in Mysore, two in Coorg and two in Ooty, with a private air-conditioned car and driver throughout. As an Ooty Mysore tour agency in Tamil Nadu, we also arrange the leg from Chennai — the Shatabdi or a short flight to Bengaluru, or a car from your door — so the whole holiday is one plan.
It suits families, couples and elders alike: palaces and gardens for the first day, misty coffee estates and waterfalls in the middle, and the lakes, tea gardens and toy train of the Nilgiris at the end. It is the 6 days Mysore Ooty tour in Chennai that families ask us for most.
Highlights
Getting there from Chennai
- Chennai to Bengaluru: the morning Shatabdi takes about five hours; flights take about an hour; by road it is roughly six hours. We meet you in Bengaluru and drive on to Mysore.
- Coming home: from Ooty we drive you back to Bengaluru, or down to Coimbatore (about three hours) for a train or flight to Chennai — whichever fits your dates.
- By road all the way: we can run the trip end to end in one vehicle from Chennai or Virudhachalam if you prefer.
Day-by-day itinerary
Bengaluru to Mysore
Met on arrival in Bengaluru and driven to Mysore. Visit Chamundi Hills and the giant Nandi, then the musical fountain at Brindavan Gardens in the evening. Mysore Palace is lit up on Sunday and public-holiday evenings — we’ll time your visit if your dates allow.
Mysore to Coorg
Morning at Mysore Palace, then out through Srirangapatna to Bylakuppe’s Namdroling Monastery (the Golden Temple) and on to Coorg’s coffee country.
Coorg
Abbey Falls, Raja’s Seat at sunset and a walk through a coffee and spice estate. Dubare elephant camp and Talacauvery are good additions if you’d like a fuller day.

A scenic drive through the forests of Bandipur and Mudumalai and up the ghat road into the Nilgiris. Check in at Ooty and take the evening at leisure.
Ooty sightseeing
Ooty Lake, the Government Botanical Garden, the Rose Garden and the view from Doddabetta Peak. Ride the Nilgiri Mountain Railway toy train to Coonoor if seats are available — it books up, so tell us early.

Best time to go
October to June is the best window. April to June is peak season in Ooty, with the flower show at the Botanical Garden in May. December and January bring crisp, cold nights in the Nilgiris. June to September is monsoon — Coorg is at its greenest, but expect heavy rain. During Mysore Dasara (September–October) the palace is lit up every evening and the city is at its busiest.
