About Kotagiri Trek, Ooty:
Kotagiri is a hill town in the Nilgiris, Tamil Nadu, and the hill on this trek rises to 5,882 ft. This 2-day trek covers 12 km, rated moderate to difficult, through tea estates, misty forest and small villages. It is a quieter alternative to Ooty, and it suits people who want a trek with a hill-station feel rather than a pure mountain climb. You leave Bangalore on Friday night with a trek leader and a group. On Day 1 you reach the Kotagiri home, freshen up and have breakfast. You then drive about 10 km to Catherine Waterfall, with a 2 km walk to reach it, and return to the home-stay for a basic vegetarian lunch. In the afternoon you start the trek from the base and walk back to the home-stay by the evening. A bonfire keeps you warm against the cold, and the night is spent at the home-stay. On Day 2 you wake up, freshen up and check out of the home-stay. You have breakfast at the nearest restaurant, at your own cost, and visit the Kodanad View Point. After a lunch stop on the way, also at your own cost, you reach Bangalore. You book this as a package with transportation, and the page lists the departure dates. Pickup points are shown on the page. This trek is a good fit for people who
