When is the Best Time To Visit the Nilgiris?

A seasonal breakdown of Ooty and Coonoor, helping you choose the perfect time for your mountain getaway.

There is no 'wrong' time to visit the Nilgiris, only different experiences. Summer (April-May) is crisp and perfect for escaping the city heat, but it is crowded. We locals love the post-monsoon months of September and October, when the mountains are an unbelievable shade of green, the waterfalls are roaring, and the tourist crowds have vanished.
