Travel guide
Ooty is gentle on older travellers if you mind the altitude, the cold and the queues.
For senior citizens, plan Ooty at a slower pace: 3 nights instead of 2, a comfortable SUV, hotels with lifts or ground-floor rooms, mornings at the Botanical Garden and lake, and afternoons to rest. Ooty is about 2,240 m high, so walk slowly on arrival, keep warm at night and carry regular medicines.
