Mandatory for tourists to get e-pass for travel to Ooty and Kodaikanal by road

The summer paradises of Ooty in southern India (also known as Udagamandalam), and Kodakanal, captivates travellers with its pleasant climate, which will see minimum temperatures of 14 degrees Celsius and a maximum of 20 degrees (on May 4), while the rest of India faces severe heat wave.

The scenic landscapes of both the hill stations and their timeless charms make Ooty an unmatched destination for thousands of people who head to the hill station for short summer breaks.

To ensure the preservation of the Nilgiris' ecosystem and manage the influx of tourist, the Madras High Court recently mandated the use of an e-pass system for travellers heading to the Ooty and Kodaikanal. Effective from May 7 to June 30, 2024, this initiative aims to regulate tourism flow.

For those seeking a peaceful and tranquil summer vacation, Ooty is the perfect destination. 

Ooty offers a serene atmosphere away from overcrowded destinations, providing a unique way to immerse yourself in natural beauty.
