I know this may sound very strange lol

But nothing wrong in asking I think - general section ;)

OK, planning a 3 day trip. Went to Kodai once, loved it.

Which is better, Ootty or Kodai ?

Also, is there anything in particular while goin, like places we should visit which are not very popular but really nice, or places where we should not go, climate now, best route (I am form Cochin, Kerala), hotels to stay n eat (I am pure veg lol)

I googled, checked maps etc but would love to get some feedback from people visited these places.

Was planning Coorg also, but I think its too far ...

Any info regarding this will be greatly appreaciated.

Thanks in advance

I've been to Ooty but not Kodai.

I liked Ooty as you can visit the nearby places like Cunoor, Mettupalayam and Kovai. Also the places of interest is more in Ooty than Kodai (from my knowledge).

Since you've already visited Kodai, look no further and goto Ooty. :D

go anywhere, IMO location does not matter the thing that matters more with whom you are going

Thank you all for the suggestions.

Yes, I prefer Ooty as I visited Kodai once, but the roads r all broken I heard :( I mean from Cochin - Ooty, especially the Palakkad section ..
