( permalink ) Suraj Naidu says: Check Out Spicejet, Hyderabad to Coimbatore Flight which costs you 1600 per trip. Posted 5 days ago. ( permalink ) Ismail Shariff says: Well, here is my input. Been to Ooty quite a few times. And, the fastest we ever went, was whent here was a truck strike, and no heavy vehicle on the road. (Yes we drove down, allll the times that i have been there) It took us about 13 hours to reach there, excluding the loo, eating and relaxing time. So 3 days - if we go by Road - NOT POSSIBLE 3 days - if we go by train - NOT POSSIBLE But, 3 days, if we go by flight, is possibly enough, to cover around half the stuff mentioned in the first post. For which, you guys would need to leave for Coimbatore, on Thursday night itself. and leave for Ooty, at the earliest the next day. Its about 80kms from coimbatore. but as its all ghats, it takes more than 3 hours for sure. Now, this also means, that you would need to leave Ooty, by sunday afternoon, and take the evening flight (dont know what time it is), coz I believe, there are no early morning flights from coim to hyd, the latest is from 7am. Considering this, you have - half day on a friday, one full saturday and half day on a sunday. So 2 days. Chalk it out well folks, and make the most of those 2 days :) Posted 5 days ago.

( permalink ) ♥ Cishore ●๋• says: hmm... even I was thinking? What say guys... suggest! Posted 5 days ago. ( permalink ) Bindaas Madhavi says: lets do something closer how about Aurangabad or Nagarjunsagar with Amaravathi Posted 5 days ago. ( permalink ) Chendur says: I travel frequently to coimbatore... spicejet / kingfisher can give good deals if you book early. Total flight charges around 4k guyz. Itz awesome to take the toy train from Mettupalayam to Ooty.. It starts at 7-730 early in the morning and there is a very high demand for tickets if you want to take the first coach that faces uphill.. Better to book early and get your window seats in the toy train. It is a 4 hour trip and you will enjoy the tranquility and scenery! Well the schedule planned here is pretty aggressive... as it took me two full days to enjoy Kotagiri and nearby places alone if you would like to walk around a lot peacefully among the hills, tea estates and shoot! And one can visit tea estates and that alone can take more than a half a day walking around... Some shots from in and around kotagiri http://209.85.173.132/search?q=cache:k47sx9Hex...m+hpc+discuss&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=13&client=opera (4 of 19) [3/8/2009 2:29:27 PM] Flickr: Discussing * HPC Long weekend trip (March 27, 28, 29) * in ...hy Club ( <b style="color:black;background-color:#a0ffff">HPC</b> ) I would say 6-8k would be the total cost including flight if stay etc are arranged in groups...
