Doddabetta is the highest peak in the Nilgiri hills. The peak is located at 2600+ meters above sea level.

The peak derives its name from two local words: ‘dodda’, meaning ‘big’ and ‘betta’, means ‘hill’.

Travellers flock to this place to admire the spectacular views from the highest point.

A heaven for hikers, it is one of the most popular places in Ooty with magnificent views. On clear days one can see Coimbatore, Mysore and Bandipur National Park.

I recommend spending about 45 – 60 minutes here and soaking into the views.

There are also some tea stalls for refreshments.

The distance from Botanical Garden is about 4 km.

Our Ooty Itinerary is incomplete without visiting Coonoor!

Take Nilgiri Railway Ride to Coonoor. If you are up for some adventure and scenic train ride, this one is one of the best experiences. Alternatively, you can drive down or take a bus to reach Coonoor.

The distance of Coonoor is about 20 km and travel time is about 45 minutes.

In case you are taking a toy train ride , the journey time is about 1 hour 15 minutes.

Coonoor is the second largest hill station in the Nilgiri ranges and is known for its lush green beauty. Coonoor has wonderful historical background as it has been home to the Toda tribe.

After sightseeing and spending some memorable time in Coonoor, return to Ooty.

5. Ooty Market

After you enjoy your Coonoor trip and train ride, stroll around the lively Ooty market for shopping and eating scrumptious food in the evening.

This charming hill station has lots to offer. Some of the things that you must try are:

Chocolates : Don’t miss handmade chocolates, which are rare treats of Ooty. The most popular location for chocolates is Charing Road . Visit one of the bakeries and grab your favourite chocolate.
Strawberries : For organically grown strawberries, Ooty is the best. You can find freshly grown strawberries in local stores.

Tea : Nilgiris is a plantation district that is highly favourable for tea cultivation. You’ll find a variety of tea packets to choose from. Do give it a try.

How To Reach

The market is about 2 km from the bus stand.

If you are staying near the bus stand, you can easily walk to the market. Alternatively, you can take an auto or cab to reach the market, depending on your location.

Today, you’ll spend the entire day in Kotagiri. Trust me, you can’t leave Ooty without exploring the untouched beauty of Kotagiri.

A town that is nestled in nature’s lap and surrounded by peace and tranquility.

This hilly retreat is one of the major hill stations in Nilgiris, and if you wish to explore an offbeat place near Ooty, add Kotagiri to your Ooty itinerary.

1. Catherine Falls

This lesser-known waterfall in Kotagiri is in its purest form.

Being the second-highest fall in Nilgiri hills, this place attracts nature lovers as it is an excellent place to be away from the hustle and bustle of city life.

You might not be able to take a dip or go close to the fall but drive to this place. The drive to reach this place is extremely scenic.

2. Kodanand View Point

Kodanand is a captivating village that is popular for its viewpoint.

From here, you can marvel at picturesque views of the Nilgiri mountains. In addition to appreciating the gorgeous views, you can also visit some tribal houses to experience something diverse.

Did you know that just 10 km away from the viewpoint, begins the famed estate of former Tamil Nadu CM, Jayalalitha? Her vast tea estate will blow your mind away.

3. Johnston Circle

There are many small outlets and bakeries at Johnston circle. Do not miss relishing cakes here and satisfying your sweet tooth.

Kotagiri does not have mainstream restaurants, but most of the small outlets and bakeries have their lunch menus. Do give it a try!

If you are travelling by train, the main railway head is Coonoor. From Coonoor, Kotagiri is at a distance of 20 km.

Pro Tip: Depending upon the time in hand, you can tweak this itinerary by visiting Kotagiri on the day you are visiting Coonoor. In this case, spend a night in Kotagiri.

These best places are reserved for the last! Consider this as your offbeat experience.

Surrounded by swanky green mountains and flowers, Avalanche Lake is a picturesque place away for about 25 km from Ooty.

Avalanche Lake can be found at the entrance of Avalanche Forest Reserve. It takes about 1- 2 hours to reach Avalanche forest reserve. As the place is far away from Ooty, not many travellers visit this heaven. But trust me, it’s worth the visit.

It is on the way to Upper-Bhavani, and the gorgeous scenery at every turn is an experience to behold.

On your tour to Avalanche, you can explore the Cauliflower shola forest, Upper Bhavani Reservoir, and Bhavani temple.

Thrillophilia offers beautiful full-day sightseeing tours to Avalanche and Emerald. Click here for more details.

After you finish seeing the places, you can spend some time at the Avalanche lakeshore. After spending for about few hours at Avalanche, leave for Emerald lake.

Parking: You’ll need to park your car near the forest check post. However, please drive your car cautiously. The road leading to the place is bumpy, and conditions aren’t great. Moreover, private vehicles are not allowed beyond forest check post point. The forest department runs vans and jeeps beyond this point for lake and forest tours.

This serene lake with blue water is around 5.5 km from Avalanche lake. You’ll take around 20 minutes to reach this beautiful place.

With endless greenery and peaceful vibes, this place is a part of the Silent Valley National Park.

The village is quite enchanting, and if you prefer spending time in a secluded area with a handful of locals, then this is a place for you.

Stroll around the tea gardens at the Emerald Lake.

Entry fee : There is no entry fee for visiting the Emerald lake/ dam. It is open for visitors from 6 am to 5 pm on all days.

Pro Tip: Please carry enough water and some food as there are no restaurants in the nearby area.

To be honest, Avalanche is a beautiful sight to hold and I definitely recommend to add this place to your Ooty Itinerary.

1. Toda Village

Toda community reside in small hamlets called Mund, which have barrel-shaped huts.

For centuries Toda people lived in isolation in the Nilgiris. The region was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2012 due to its unique ecology and botanical diversity.

You can visit this village to learn about the culture, their lifestyle. The village also has the Toda temple that looks similar to Toda huts. I recommend adding Toda Village to your Ooty itinerary if you are open to exploring a different side of Ooty.

Toda village is located at a distance of 15 km from Ooty.

2. Go boating In Pykara Lake & Enjoy Safari At Madumalai National Park

Pykara Lake

Pykara is a village located 19 km from Ooty.

This may not be in a true sense an offbeat place to visit as Pykara is popular and attracts a lot of tourists. However, if time permits, then add this place to your Ooty itinerary.

Pykara lake is serene and surrounded by lush green forests. You can easily spend 2 hours here.

You’ll enjoy the experience.

Madumalai National Park

One of the tiger reserves in India, Madumalai National Park, is 30 km from Pykara Lake and 40 km from Ooty.

The entry fee for the Pine Tree Forest is INR 5 for adults and an additional INR 30 for a camera.

It is open for its visitors from 8 AM to 6 PM.

For more details click here .

4. Parson’s Valley Dam

This is the best-kept secret of Ooty and I suggest to add this place to your Ooty itinerary. If you are a nature lover, you’ll not regret visiting this place.

Surrounded by thick forest and rich fauna, this is a place where nature will roar with its enormous vigour.

Parsons Valley Dam is a Hydel Reservoir, which is the main water source for nearby towns of Nilgiri District. It is located about 18 km from Ooty.

Parson’s Valley Dam and the nearby areas are called Parson’s Valley. This is a reserved forest area and forms part of Mukurthi National Park. Therefore, it requires permission from the State Forest Department to visit the Parson’s Valley.

If you are a nature lover and want to stay far from the hustle and bustle of the main town, feel free to use the parts of the itinerary which are more suited for you. On the other hand, if you want to stay in the main town and visit it’s attractions, feel free to do so. Basically, if you don’t have 5 consecutive days at hand or if all the parts of this itinerary don’t suite you, feel free to customise it for your needs. By dropping few days or activities here and there. Before delving into the itinerary, let me give a brief overview of Ooty. And other important things required to plan your 5 days Ooty trip itinerary.

How to reach Ooty

From most of the major cities around including Bangalore, Mysore and Coimbatore, regular buses ply to Ooty. One can also drive down to Ooty from these cities and towns. If using train, one can go upto Coimbatore which is the nearest town. And then take a bus or taxi from there to Ooty. Also, one can hire a taxi or drive down on their own. On our trips to Ooty from Bangalore, we have used overnight bus, hired a taxi and also drove on our own. The nearest airport is Coimbatore. So, one can also fly in there and then reach Ooty from there.

What is the best time to visit Ooty

To be honest, Ooty is a year round destination. I myself have visited Ooty during the monsoons in the month of August . And then in summer in the month of April. My next two trips to Ooty were in February and January respectively. And I enjoyed my visit to Ooty in all these seasons. During the monsoon season, the crowd is least. And most of the attractions are empty. Plus, if you are like me, you are going to thoroughly enjoy the clouds hanging low. Actually, they will literally hug you. There are occasional bouts of rain now and then. But these are not very long spells. So you have to just stay somewhere in a shade for a while when it rains. And then continue on your trip after that.

While in the winter months, the sky is clear. And there is warm sunshine in the day. While the air is chilly. So it gets really cold by evening. In fact, on my most recent visit to Ooty one morning we woke up to see the whole meadow covered with a thin layer of ice crystal. Which means the temperature must be dropping to freezing cold during the night at times! So, if you enjoy the winter sunshine and the chilly evenings then visit Ooty between November to February. This season is also not very crowded.

In the month of May, the flowers in Nilgiris are in full bloom. There is even a flower festival held in the Botanical Garden of Ooty. The whole valley is fresh and green after bouts of monsoon showers. The days are warm and nights are comfortably cold during this month. But then it is also the peak season. So, you will find a bit of crowd at the usual tourist spots. So, book your accommodation in advance.

Where to stay in Ooty

We have stayed at different locations during our stay in Ooty on different occasions. And from our experience, we recommend the following accommodations:

Sterling Elk Hills, Ooty – This is located around 4km from the main town. Not very far, yet tucked in a beautiful secluded corner. The rooms have views of the valley. And the icing on the cake is that they have family suites with kitchenette. Which families are sure to enjoy. Apart from that the food is amazing. And so is the hospitality. We particularly loved staying here with our parents and kids because of the suite room, which reminded us of our similar experience while staying in Bangkok, Thailand . Although the kitchenette is equipped with a microwave. And a sink. Plus basic cutlery. I do wish that it had an induction cooktop or a gas cooktop and some basic pots and pans as well. Nevertheless, it is totally worth a short stay. As, it has all other facilities like wifi, strong network and proximity to the town etc.

La Montana TGI (Previously Sagar Resort) , Ooty – This one is special to us. As, this was where we stayed on our first trip. And loved every bit of our stay here. The usp of this place is the big balconies attached to each room. And uninterrupted breathtaking views of the valley from these villas. You can also see the toy train crossing from the valley. Although, it is almost 8km away from the main town. So, if you want to enjoy some peaceful time and beautiful natural views, and don’t mind staying a bit far from the main town, don’t give a second thought to this place. They also have excellent food and service. While staying here, we had hired cab from the hotel for sight seeing. And the charges were very reasonable. Read my complete review of our stay at Hotel Sagar Resort here .

Accord Highland Hotel, Ooty – Hotel Accord Highland is located at a very high altitude, only 3km from Dodabetta Peak, the highest peak in Ooty. Again, it is a bit far from the main town. But it is very conveniently located on the Ooty-Kotagiri Highway. I stayed here on one of the recent visits, just for the mesmerising views of the valley and the Nilgiris mountain ranges from here. The rooms have beautiful views. And there is a big lawn also for kids to play and elders to relax.

Destiny Farmstay Ooty – This one is very far from the main town, almost 28km. But it is a completely different and unique experience. If you are following our 5 days Ooty trip itinerary, we recommend you stay here for one night. Read my blog post to destiny farmstay, emerald lake and the unique experience that it offers. Along with the description of Emerald Lake – the huge turquoise blue lake . Which is one of the most beautiful lakes I have visited in India. And why staying here at the banks of Emerald Lake at Destiny Farmstay is a very unique experience. We highly recommend staying here for once.

5 days Ooty trip Itinerary

The 5 days Ooty trip Itinerary is carved assuming you drive to Ooty on your own. So, a lot of time on day 1 and day 5 is reserved for driving. If you are taking an overnight bus or other public transport, you might have a little extra time at hand than what I have put in this 5 days Ooty trip itinerary. So, if that is a case, leave me a comment and I will let you know what you can do for your itinerary as per your arrival and departure schedule.

Day 1: Arrival in Ooty & some sightseeing on the way

Assuming you are driving from Bangalore, Mysore or other such city. Start early in the morning. And then drive down via this route:-

Bangalore->Mysore->Bandipur->Mudumalai->Gudalur->Ooty

This route is around 30km longer than the other route via Masinagudi that google maps shows you by default. But, it is much more scenic, one of the best road trips in India ! First of all you get to enjoy spotting the wildlife in Bandipur National Park and the Mudumalai Tiger Reserve. We spotted herds of deer freely grazing near the highway, some elephants, peacocks, apes and lots of groups of monkeys on our most recent drive through Bandipur and Mudumalai.

Plus you can do some sight seeing while on your way to your accommodation. As, it passes through Pykara Lake , 9th mile shooting point and 6th mile . So, if you start by 5:00am in the morning, from Bangalore, you can reach Pykara Lake by 1:30pm. Even after taking ample breaks on the way. It is a beautiful lake surrounded by forests. You can enjoy a boat ride in the lake. And also visit the Pykara Waterfalls right besides the lake.

From here, you can go to 9th Mile, which is a beautiful green plateau. Perfect to enjoy the scenic green mountains around. It is a perfect spot to have your lunch. Assuming you are carrying it from home or can get it packed on the way. Also, it is a famous shooting place where several scenes from different Bollywood movies are frequently filmed. From 9th mile, proceed further towards the Ooty town. On the way, visit 6th mile. 6th mile is another shooting spot amidst pine forests. You can trek down the mountain slope here, crossing the pine trees. And finally reach on the bank of a scenic lake below. Again, another perfect spot to take some awesome pictures. After all this, you can reach your accommodation in town or near Ooty town by 5:30pm to max 6:00pm.

Actually, we visited these spots on our second trip to Ooty. And the day after arrival in the town. Only to realise that you can cover them right on your way to Ooty!! Thats why we have included these on the first day of this 5 days Ooty trip itinerary.

Day 2: Ooty town sightseeing

If you have not been to Ooty before, it is totally worth it to visit the lovely tourist attractions spread around the town. The top ones include –

A beautiful manmade lake in the centre of Ooty town. You can do boating in the Ooty lake.

Or, cycle around the lake. And shop from the numerous shops around the lake.

Dodabetta Peak

This is the highest peak of Ooty. There is an observation deck here. From where you can see far and wide into the plains beyond the Nilgiris. Also, it is mostly chilling and cold here. Because of the high altitude. It is located around 6km from the centre of the main town.

Botanical Garden Ooty

One of the best gardens in India is the botanical garden of Ooty. It includes a huge variety of flora, a glasshouse, a small nursery and vast lawns where one can sit and enjoy nature. This is one spot that I have visited thrice while on my trips to Ooty. Totally love the different shades of green and the different species of plants here.

Deer Park Ooty

Located almost 2km from Ooty Lake, the deer park is a small wildlife sanctuary right in the heart of Ooty town. Nature and wildlife enthusiasts are very likely to love this place. However, I have personally never been here.

Toda Tribe Huts

The Toda Tribes in Ooty are mostly farmers and cattle herders. They live in very unique huts. (Which sure will remind you a bit of Hobbiton!). Although I am sure these tribes have never seen Hobitton. So, do visit these huts and drive the parallel yourself while in Ooty.

Rose Garden Ooty

The Rose Garden of Ooty houses 20 thousand varieties of Roses!! They are mostly in full bloom in the month of May. Where a flower show is also held in the garden. The Rose Garden is another beautiful spot to visit in Ooty town.

Apart from the above, if time permits, visit a chocolate factory. Here you can see the process of making the famous Ooty chocolates.

Day 3: A half day tour of Coonoor & Toy Train Ride

After covering all the Ooty town attractions on the second day of your 5 days Ooty trip itinerary, head for a half day trip to Coonoor from Ooty. Coonoor is another beautiful Nilgiris gem of a place, situated right next to Ooty. Self drive or hire a cab from Ooty, And visit the following attractions in Coonoor.

Tea Garden, Coonoor

Coonoor is famous for it’s tea garden. So, why not visit one on your way there. Many of these tea gardens also have adjoining tea stalls from where you can enjoy freshly brewed tea. And they also have small shops from where you can buy tea leaves. My own memory from my first trip to Ooty is standing in the middle of tea garden. And hugging the monsoon clouds.

What Ooty Botanical Garden is to Ooty, Sim’s park is to Coonoor. It is a very beautiful, large, manicured botanical garden that consists of several varieties of plants & trees. Also, it has a beautiful landscape. With flower beds, small ponds and fairytale bridges across those ponds. Do visit here when in Coonoor.

Dolphin’s Nose

A viewpoint high up that gives 180 degrees view of the surroundings. On a clear day, you can see as far as the town of Coimbatore from Dolphin’s Nose. Another must visit while in Coonoor. The name is “Dolphin’s Nose” because the viewpoint is pointed at the edge just like a dolphin’s nose 🙂

Lamb’s Rock

This is a unique rock which you can climb with a short trek involving intermittent stairs. And then you can trek back another path. There is a small view point at the top. And again, you get to see beautiful views of the plains stretching in all directions. And the Nilgiri mountains standing guard around these valleys.

After visiting these spots in Coonoor, head to Coonoor railway station. And catch the Coonoor Udagmandalam MG Passenger Toy Train (56138) on your way back to Ooty, At the time of this writing, the train leaves Coonoor around 4:30pm and reaches Ooty railway station by 5:45 pm. Meet your cab here and drive back to your accommodation. The toy train is a heritage train of Nilgiri Mountain Railways . Just like the Toy Train in Shimla & the Darjeeling toy train. It passes through beautiful valleys and mountain terrains. Some of the views that it offers are very picturesque and breathtaking.

Day 4: Drive to Avalanche Lake & Emerald Lake from Ooty town

We have reserved the best for the last. For an offbeat experience from the main town of Ooty, visit Avalanche Lake & Emerald lake. These are two huge and beautiful lakes almost 28km from the main town of Ooty. Unspoilt, natural, beautiful! These lakes are located in reserve forest area. And the whole region is called “Silent Valley”. The name is completely justified given the tranquility of this region. They are a must visit. Alas, I didn’t know about them on my first two trip to Ooty. before the third trip, I was looking for something offbeat and beautiful. And that is when I stumbled upon these lakes. Although, I couldn’t plan to stay nearby or spend a good amount of time by these beautiful lakes. But I did return with that burning desire in my heart.

So, on my fourth trip, I planned to spend a night at Destiny Farmstay, on the banks of Emerald Lake. And every moment spent here was totally magical. So, we highly recommend you don’t just drive to these lakes, but rather stay somewhere on the banks or near the lakes. So that you can take a walk or a trek alongside these beautiful lakes. Accommodations like Destiny Farmstay even arrange for camping and picnic by the side of the lake. Here’s my writeup on our Destiny Farmstay Experience!

Please note that although these lakes are situated just 28km from the main Ooty town. But it takes nearly one hour to reach them. Because of the ghat roads and hairpin bends. So, plan accordingly. As you leave the town, and reach the Avalanche area, you get to a viewpoint from where you can see the whole reserve forest and the lake in the middle of it.

Afterwards, you can further cross the Emerald Dam. And reach the Emerald lake viewpoint. From where you can catch a wider and closer glimpse of the lake. It really looks like an emerald sea in the middle of the beautiful green mountains. Drive further down and you reach the banks of the Avalanche lake. You can actually get down to the lake from here. And have a picnic by the banks.

A little further from here, you reach the Destiny Farmstay Parking. So, if you have booked an overnight stay with them, you can park your car here. And then reach the farm stay in their vehicle. As the last 3km to the farm stay is a narrow mud road that most of the regular cars can’t ply. All the rooms in the resort have beautiful view of the lake. And they also arrange for walking and camping by the lake. So, enjoy your overnight stay near the lake here.

Day 5: Drive back from Ooty

Today being the last day of your 5 days Ooty trip itinerary. Post breakfast, checkout from your accommodation. And start your drive back home. Don’t forget to pack your lunch from Ooty town. Because most probably, during lunch time you will be crossing the forests of Mudumalai and Bandipur. Where you can’t find any restaurant. Neither are you allowed to stop your vehicle. If you pack something for lunch from Ooty, you can conveniently stop anywhere on the way and have it on time.

Last but not the least, don’t forget to stop by a chocolate factory outlet on your way back to buy some homemade, mouthwatering Ooty chocolates. Below is a an Ooty Chocolate Factory Outlet location pinned for your reference. We bought chocolates from here on our last two visits to Ooty. They have large variety and reasonable cost. Also, they have Nilgiris tea in different flavour, essential oils, spices and dry fruits as well.

Tips on doing the 5 days Ooty trip itinerary

Wear comfortable shoes as you will be doing a lot of walking and trekking on the hills.
No matter which season you visit Ooty in, the nights get chilly. So, carry one thick jacket for the night time.
Carry more woollen cloths like sweater, cap, muffler when visiting end of December or January and February.
Also, carry an umbrella when visiting in the rainy season (April – September).
If you are visiting Ooty during the covid times, you need to e-register at the TN government website and carry a printout of the same. It will be checked at the border while entering Tamil Nadu.
Also, if you have more days at hand, you can consider staying overnight at Bandipur. It will be a nice break. Plus you can take the safari at Bandipur National Park.
The town of Ooty is very adequately stocked with all essentials that you need. You can always shop from there for anything and everything while there.

Your blog perfectly captures the essence of Ooty – the misty mornings, the vibrant botanical gardens, and the nostalgic toy train journey. Reading about your experiences has ignited my desire to explore this gem in the Nilgiris. Looking forward to creating my own memories in Ooty soon!

Thanks for information nice blogs and images different places to visit

Great write up Neha and Abhishek. Any recommendations for good restaurants at different places you visited? Thanks

Hey Ranga…we mostly had food at the places we stayed at. But there are plenty of restaurants near the lake and botanical garden. I will add some names in the post.

Very detailed and useful information. We plan to travel with kids. Any recommendations on hotels/restaurants for food, during the day travel? Thanks!

Thanks Rini. There are many hotels near the Ooty attractions like the Ooty lake and the main market. I will suggest time your sightseeing in such a way that you can be in this central area around lunch time.

Please Give an approximate idea of expenses for this 5 day trip?

Hi Hemanshu Fuel cost was around 5k INR Hotel stay cost was around 30k INR (including one night stay at destiny farmstay which was around 10k) And other expenses were around 5k-6k

Please give some information if I can get a hired two wheeler from Coimbatore for my Ooty trip and also is it safe for us. As I will be traveling with my wife…

Sorry, I am not sure about 2 wheeler rental in Coimbatore but it should be possible. However, I would prefer a 4 wheeler anytime as the road is hilly and many bigger vehicles comply. You know what I mean, our safety also depends on how others are driving, not just ourselves.

Amazing information we will definitely consider this as we too are gonna travel along with our kids but for the first time.

Thanks Farida. Wish you a wonderful trip!

The Mudumalai national park happens to reside on the northwestern side of the great Nilgiri hills. It has been one of the most important wildlife corridors of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve. The national park is flourished with many other adjoining forests and wildlife reserves like the Mukurthi National Park, Silent Valley National Park, Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary and Bandipur National Park. The Mudumalai National Park is also referred to as the Mudumalai Tiger Reserve. There are more than 48 tigers in the park and they are allowed to roam freely inside the park without any restriction. The National Park is not only a house to the elephants and tigers, but it is also home to countless other endangered wildlife species like amphibians, reptiles, mammals, and birds. As per the reports, more than 13% of the total mammal species in India is present in the Mudumalai National Park and more than 8% of birds find their home in the National Park. The National park has got a perfect balanced ecosystem. The National Park also houses various medicinal as well as rare plant species like Pongamia glabra, Mangifera indica, Dalbergia latifoli, Terminalia arjuna, Syzygium cumini and the bamboo. Visit this amazing place in your next holiday vacation and spend some time in the serene atmosphere.

Emerald Lake is located in Emerald Village away from the hustle and bustle of a city, offering some peace and quiet so that you can relax in the lap of nature. That is because Emerald Lake is still pristine and less frequented compared to other places visited by tourists in South India every year. Travel enthusiasts visit Emerald Lake for its breathtaking scenic beauty such as the lush Nilgiri hills and the tea plantations surrounding the water body. With tea plantations surrounding Emerald lake, you can buy various tea products if you like. The lake and its picturesque surroundings are a photographer’s paradise for taking beautiful photos of the landscape. Emerald Lake is also visited due to its stunning sunrise and sunset views, which is a bonus or takeaway for photographers. It is an ideal picnic spot for locals and tourists alike. You can carry picnic baskets and some badminton gear when visiting this place. The surrounding woods and blue lake-water are home to diverse flora and fauna. Take delight in watching some native birds including ducks and other aquatic animals. It is a bird watcher’s paradise, where you can spot them easily without having to wait for a long time. Emerald Lake is also popular for activities like mountain biking and trekking down the lakeside. Again, if you are not much of an adventure-seeker, you can fish by the lake or sit with your favorite book and read in peace.

Also known as the Ooty Boat House, Ooty Lake is one of the major attractions of Ooty, the queen of Nilgiris. Spread over a vast area of 65 acres, this lake was first constructed by John Sullivan way back in 1824. Made with the water flowing down from the mountain streams in Ooty, the lake was initially made solely for fishing. However, gradually it became more of a tourist attraction, and when it was taken over by Tamil Nadu Tourism Development Corporation in 1973, the lake was transformed into a tourist park and more attractions were built around it. Surrounded by groves of Eucalyptus and the Nilgiri ranges in the background, the Ooty Lake is one of the most serene and peaceful tourist attractions in Ooty. If you are lucky, you can also spot some rare birds near the lake. But it is not just the beauty of the lake that makes this place so popular - the fun activities for kids and adults alike are also a major crowd puller. Boating is a popular tourist activity at Ooty Lake. One can hire paddle boats, motorboats, and rowing boats from the boathouse in Ooty Lake and take a ride across the pretty lake. Kids can enjoy a joyful ride on the mini train and take a tour of the lake and the park. The amusement park that houses a haunted house, mirror house, and other fun activities like horse riding, is also loved by tourists that visit Ooty Lake.

How to Plan an Amazing Ooty Trip on a Shoestring Budget

Planning an Ooty trip anytime soon? Don’t worry, I have got you covered!

One of the most popular hill stations to visit in Tamil Nadu, Ooty has a lot to offer in terms of landscapes and activities. From boating in the lakes to experiencing safari rides, there is a lot you can do here.

But is it possible to plan a trip to Ooty on a budget trip? Well, yes! In the past couple of years, I have traveled to Ooty multiple times. On each trip, I have discovered a new part of Ooty and can assure you that there is something for all kinds of travelers here.

So, if you are planning a trip to Ooty anytime soon, then we have jotted down all the details for you in this Ooty trip guide.

How to Plan an Amazing Ooty Trip on a Budget

Best time to visit ooty.

One of the first things to plan your Ooty trip is to decide when you are going to visit this beautiful hill station. Although Ooty is a year-round destination, the best time to visit this place is during summers.

The weather stays cool and pleasant in the summer season and you can escape the summer heat of the neighboring cities. Monsoon season is also a good time to visit Ooty as you will experience lush greenery here but it will be cold.

For those who don’t like the cold, winter is certainly not the best time to visit Ooty. The temperature can drop to 6 degrees Celsius, making it cold for sightseeing and enjoying the activities here.

How to Reach Ooty

There are several ways to reach Ooty which we will be covering below.

The closest airport to Ooty is Coimbatore International Airport at a distance of 88 km. There are direct flights connecting this city to all the major cities in India.

The closest railway station to Ooty is Mettupalyam at a distance of 40 km. You will find trains from nearby cities to this station including Bangalore, Chennai, Mysore, and more.

For those who are traveling from a little further away, Coimbatore Railway Station is the best choice. From here, you can take a private cab or local bus to reach Ooty.

You can also opt for a road trip to Ooty from nearby cities. Apart from that, local and private buses are available from Bangalore, Chennai, Mysore, etc. to Ooty.

Where to Stay in Ooty

Ooty is a popular tourist destination so there are many stay options available here for people traveling on all kinds of budgets.

If you happen to plan a trip during the peak season then make sure that you book your stay in advance.

Although there weren’t any hostels in Ooty a couple of years, it is not the case anymore. There are 2-3 backpacker hostels that are perfect for solo travelers and budget backpackers.

In fact, there is also a Zostel franchise here which you can choose for your stay in Ooty.

Most of the hostels range between 400 – 600 INR and are a good way to meet other solo travelers and backpackers.

Hotels and Resorts

In case you are traveling with a group or need your privacy then there are several good hotels and resorts here as well. You can easily find a good hotel room for 2 people costing you about 600 – 1500 per night.

And if you want to avoid the city area and want to stay in a quieter area in Ooty then Delightz Inn Resort is certainly a good place to stay at.

Where to Eat in Ooty

One of the best things about a trip to Ooty is that there are lots of amazing places here where you can eat a decent meal at a reasonable price.

Also, you get all kinds of cuisines here. But if you traveling to Ooty then make sure you try the South Indian cuisine because their sambhar is freaking delicious!

Local Restaurants

There are many local food joints and restaurants that you can try out when hungry in Ooty. Make sure you try Idli and Dosa here as they will be cheap and extremely appetizing.

In fact, you can easily get a good dosa or Idli plate for just 50 – 70 INR. And the varieties that you get in dosa will completely blow your mind and will make you want to try out all kinds of dosas available here.

Moddy’s Confectionery

Apart from the delicious South Indian dishes, Ooty is also quite famous for its chocolates. And Moddy’s is one of the most popular chocolate brands to check out in Ooty.

They have an assortment of chocolate flavors that you can try and select from. But that’s not all, they also offer snacks like patties, pizzas, etc. for people who are hungry after selecting chocolates for themselves.

Other Options

They also have some other commercial establishments like CCD, Dominos, etc.

So, if you are craving some coffee or pizza you can always head out to them. Although we would suggest you stick to the local cuisine so that you get a real feel of Ooty.

How to Travel In and Around Ooty

When you are planning an Ooty trip, then it is quite obvious that you will go sightseeing at some point. It may be to the places residing inside Ooty or places which are near Ooty.

Thankfully, there are many ways for you to travel around Ooty and make the most of your stay here.

Personally, I feel the best way to explore real Ooty and other Nilgiri Hills destinations is by taking a bus.

There is a good bus network here so you will find a bus for each place near Ooty like Kotagiri, Kodanadu, Coonoor, and so on. Also, the buses are cheap and quite convenient if you know where you are heading.

The only problem with taking a bus is that you have to plan your day in advance.

Most of the buses are available at a particular timing and often result in waiting so you can end up wasting a lot of time here.

A bus from the Ootacamund bus stand to Dodabetta will cost around 10 INR while a bus to Kotagiri will be around 25 INR.

If you don’t have a lot of time with you then the best and most convenient way to explore Ooty is by hiring a cab here. It can be expensive if you are traveling solo or with just 1 friend but it can be really useful when traveling in a group.

A tour to Avalanche Lake, Emerald Lake, etc. will cost you around 2,000 INR and will take at least 6-7 hours.

A tour of the Kotagiri side will also take 2,000 INR and will take almost the entire day.

So, if you do take a cab make sure that you have a few people to share the costs with else it can become really expensive for you.

If you are traveling in the town itself then the best way to explore the place is by walking. Most of the places are nearby and can easily be reached after an hour of walking.

Also, you get to admire the tea plantations and the mountain views and can stop wherever you like on the way.

For people traveling in the city, another convenient and quick mode of transportation is taking an auto.

It is great for short distances but it can cost you a lot as well. But if you don’t want to spend a lot of time walking then taking an auto is the best way to explore this hill station.

Shopping in Ooty

If you are doing an Ooty trip on a budget, then, of course, you have to be careful about what you shop here too. Thankfully, Ooty is famous for a few things like homemade chocolates, tea leaves, herbal oils, etc. that you can get at a reasonable price here.

In terms of clothing, Ooty is one of the best places to buy woolen clothes. From caps to gloves, you can find it all here at an affordable price.

For tea and coffee lovers, Ooty has many shops that serve a variety of teas and coffee products. You can get these in different flavors such as black, green, masala, jasmine, cardamom, and even chocolate.

Apart from that, you can also buy aromatic oils such as lavender, lemongrass, camphor, eucalyptus, etc. which have medicinal purposes and are good for your hygiene.

Finally, to tickle your taste buds, you cannot miss out on shopping for homemade chocolates here. There are many shops with a wide range of chocolate varieties for you to choose from.

Overall, you can easily spend 2000 – 3000 INR on shopping in Ooty.

ATM and Network Availability on Ooty Trip

Let’s discuss one of the most crucial aspects of traveling, ATM and Phone Network availability.

ATMs in Ooty

Since Ootacamund has developed a lot in the past few years, more ATM options have cropped up all over the hill station. So, you will easily find an ATM for IDBI, Indian Bank, SBI, etc. in Ooty.

However, during the long weekends, the cash could be low in these ATMs so it is always a good idea to withdraw cash from Coimbatore or your native place before reaching Ooty.

Also, if you don’t have your own vehicle then reaching these ATMs can be a pain if you don’t live near the main market area.

Always carry a decent amount of cash when traveling to Ooty.

Network Available in Ooty

Most major mobile networks work in Ooty including Vodafone, Airtel, JIO, BSNL, etc. However, in some areas, you will get only BSNL or JIO network.

Even Airtel’s 4G service is patchy in Ooty and there are a lot of spots where there is literally no signal in both Airtel or Vodafone network.

So, if you are in dire need of an Internet network on your trip to Ooty then carry a BSNL or JIO sim with you.

Ooty might not be as peaceful and serene as it was at one time but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t charming or beautiful places to visit here anymore.

Honestly, there are so many amazing things to do in Ooty that you can easily spend a couple of days here and still be short on time.

So, make sure that you do visit the offbeat places here and enjoy the Queen of hill stations.

Trust me, an Ooty trip on a budget can end up being really refreshing. And it can help you take a break from your fast-paced life for a better result.

Trip to Ooty

Listen to your teacher reading the first part of the letter.

Dear Malli, Coimbatore

20.11.2017

Thanks for your letter and it was great to hear from you. You asked me to tell you about my trip to Ooty with my friends. I had the most wonderful time. Twenty girls and boys from class six went on the trip. Our class teacher Geetha madam and two others took us.

My grandmother has told me about the beautiful journey to Ooty by the toy train many times. She said that it was a spectacular trip up and down the slopes with birds and trees dancing along. Ooty is so close to Coimbatore but I have never been there nor seen that train. So I was really thrilled when the school arranged this trip. You can imagine how excited I was when I stepped into the toy train with my friends.

I looked around at the wooden chairs with cushioned seats and oil painted walls as I put my bag on the mesh of the luggage rack. I was bubbling over with excitement.

“Hi Fatima, isn’t this fun?” I called out as my friend came into the compartment. “Come, sit here. I have kept a seat for you. You can keep your bag next to mine. What have you brought to eat?” “Parotta and delicious chutney. Did you see the train? It’s so beautiful!” Fatima replied.

Our teacher, Geetha madam, came around to see if everyone was seated properly. “The train is about to leave so take your seats everyone,” she said. Just then the train started with a jerk. It moved very slowly, leaving the station with a long hoot. Everyone clapped. The train went snaking up the steep hillside, weaving its way through forests of tall trees swaying in the breeze.

One of the boys, Muthu, said, “It is going so slowly, I can walk along its side.” And he got up to go to the door.

From the other end the teacher saw him and said in a firm voice, “Muthu, go back to your seat at once.” The girls sniggered and Muthu sat down with a long face.

Read the following questions and answer them.

1. Where did the boys and girls go?

The boys and girls went to Ooty.

2. Why did Muthu say that he could walk along its side?

The train was moving slowly. So Muthu said that he could along its side.

3. Why did the girls snigger?

The teacher ordered Muthu to go back to his seat. At once Muthu sat down with a long face. So the girls sniggered.

Mesh /meʃ/ - Material made of a network of wire or thread

Swaying /ˈsweɪɪŋ /- Moving slowly or rhythmically

Snaking /ˈsneɪkɪŋ/ - Moving like a snake

Sniggered /ˈsnɪgəd/- Laughed in a half suppressed way

Trip to Ooty Summary

This section deals with the first part of the letter written by Merlin to Malli. She told her about her trip to Ooty with her friends. Their class teacher Mrs. Geetha and two other teachers accompanied a group of twenty girls and boys from Class VI. Merlin had heard from her grandmother about the beautiful journey to Ooty by the toy train. She said that it was a spectacular trip up and down the slopes with birds and trees dancing along the way. Merlin wrote that she was so excited when she stepped into the toy train with her friends. There were wooden chairs with cushioned seats and oil painted walls. She called out her friend Fathima to sit next to her.

They were enjoying the view from the toy train. Their teacher Mrs. Geetha came around to see if everyone was seated properly. The train started with a jerk and moved slowly. Everyone of them clapped joyfully. One of the boys, Muthu wanted to walk along the side of the train, as it was going very slowly. But his teacher scolded him to go to his seat immediately. All the girls laughed at this and Muthu sat down quietly with a long face.

Read the following questions and answer them.

Question 1. Where did the boys and girls go? Answer: The boys and girls of Class VI went on a trip to Ooty.

Question 2. Why did Muthu say that he could walk along its side? Answer: Muthu said that he could walk along its side because the train was moving very slowly.

Question 3. Why did the girls snigger? Answer: The girls sniggered because the teacher shouted at Muthu to go back to his seat immediately.

This section of the letter gives the clear view of the scenes outside the train. The scene was beautiful with the purple blue mountains forming a lovely backdrop to the green fields and the estates. Monkeys with babies clinging onto them were racing all along the tracks. One of the monkeys tried to snatch a banana from a girl, as she leaned out of the window to look at the train curving on the track. She gave a scream and moved back. The misty clouds, which covered the mountains, the bubbling stream with a small waterfall, and a pretty blue bird were marvellous to see. Suddenly, the train stopped with a thud. Boys were so excited to see what happened. So they begged their teacher to allow them to step out of the train.

In the end, the whole compartment stepped out. And what a sight greeted their eyes!

Discuss and answer the following questions.

Question 1. Why did the girl scream? Ans: One of the monkeys tried to snatch a banana from a girl’s hand while she was leaning out of the window. She screamed and moved back.

Question 2. Why did Muthu and his friends step out of the train? Answer: The trained stopped suddenly. So Muthu and his friends stepped out of the train to see what had happened.

Question 3. Describe the beauty of the blue mountain. Answer: The purple-blue mountains formed a lovely backdrop to the green fields and tea estates.

Section III

This section narrates the incident on the track. There was a cute baby elephant sitting on the track. The mother elephant was nearby trumpeting loudly. The engine driver and others tried to persuade the baby off the track with the bunch of bananas. But the mother elephant did not allow anyone near the baby. So they were making all kinds of sounds to make the baby elephant move from there. Just then, Muthu went upf to the baby with a bunch of bananas. Just as it moved to eat it, he moved backwards. He kept doing this, till the baby was out on the side of the tracks. Everyone cheered as the baby and mother started eating the bananas. As they were eating, everyone got into the train and it left after a delay of half an hour.

Merlin ended the letter saying that it was a fantastic trip. It was enchanting to listen to the sounds of streams and waterfalls. She can never forget the wide, wind-swept tea estates, cloud covered mountains, the swaying trees and the birds chirping. The whole group was so excited by the trip.

Think and answer.

Question 1. What made the trip a memorable one? Answer: On a normal fast train ride, we do not notice the scenery or the landscape. It rushes by so fast. But the train making a slow move up and down the beautiful mountain was different. They were able to enjoy everything thoroughly. This made the trip a memorable one.

Question 2. What does the phrase ‘presence of mind’ mean? Explain the phrase using Muthu’s action. Answer: Muthu had the ‘presence of mind’ at the right moment. He moved the bunch of bananas backwards, whenever the baby elephant moved forward to eat it. He kept doing that till the baby was out on the side of tracks. Everyone cheered this, as he had acted correctly at the right time.

Question 3. What is the difference between this toy train and a normal train? Answer: The toy train travels through 208 serpentine curves, 16 tunnels, 250 bridges, waterfall hood, cliff edges and tea estates, covering a distance of 26 km. It is a showcase of heritage of India. The normal train only takes you to your destination without these beautiful sights.

If you need some fresh, new ideas for the ESL travel and holiday unit that you can find in most textbooks, then you’re in the right place. We’ll share our top ideas for games and activities, along with travel vocabulary, worksheets and lesson plans. Let’s get to the best ESL holiday activities.

ESL holiday and travel-themed activities

Let’s get into everything you need to know for an ESL holiday lesson. Keep on reading!

ESL Travel and Holiday Activities

Here are the top ESL travel activities that you may want to try out with your students.

#1: Plan a Trip

Have your students plan a dream vacation in English! Instead of researching in their first language, use Google in English. In order to practice writing, keep notes only in English. Here’s an example of how you might plan your trip using English. You can have your students add as little, or as much detail as you’d like. However, the point of the activity is to practice writing in point form which is useful when writing outlines for tests or essays.

Day 1: Monday, January 1

Fly Seoul (3pm) —-> Vancouver (7am) Check in Hotel ABC, 123 Avenue Rest, relax

Day 2: Tuesday, January 2

Stay Hotel ABC Tour Stanley Park Eat Pub XYZ dinner

Day 3: Wednesday, January 3

Check out Hotel ABC Rent car Budget 123 Drive Whistler Rent skis shop ABC Go Skiing Lunch ski lodge Check in Hotel ABC Whistler Bed early

Procedure for one of my favourite ESL travel activities:

Give students time to do some Internet research about a place they want to go. It’s helpful to specify the number of days. I generally make a rule that they must do this research in English. Suggest some helpful websites where they might like to start (Trip Advisor, Air BnB, etc.).
Students can make a day-by-day itinerary of what they’re trip is going to look like.
They can share about their trip with the class or turn it in for a graded assignment.

#2: A-Z Alphabet Game

If you know that your students already know a fair bit about holiday and travel, you may want to try this quick warm-up game. Or, you could consider using it as a review game at the end of a class.

The way it works is that students, in pairs or small groups write down the alphabet on a piece of paper. Then, they have to think of one travel related word for each letter. It doesn’t have to be done in order. For example:

P: Passport

The winner is the team with the most completed letters at the end of the allotted time. Do you want to find out more? Check this out: A-Z Alphabet Game ESL .

#3: Travel Word Association

This is nice ESL activity to do if you know that your students have studied about travel and holidays before. They can shout out vocabulary words related to this and you can make a mind map or sorts on the board. Group similar things together. For example, articles of clothing.

#4: Postcards ESOL Travel Activity

If you can get your hands on some cheap postcards or have some laying around your house or teacher’s office, try out this fun writing activity. It may just be the novelty factor, but students seem to love it. This activity is ideal for working on common greetings, the past tense (more ideas here: ESL past tense games ), and using descriptive words, as well as using synonyms to avoid repetition.

Distribute the postcards to the students. You can do one per student, or put the students into pairs. They have to look at the picture on the front of the postcard and imagine that they went on this vacation. Then, they can write about their trip to a friend or family member.

Next, the students trade postcards with another student or group. After reading them, they can write a response back of at least a few sentences. Finally, you may want to display them around the class as they’re colourful and fun and other students may enjoy reading them! Have some fun with this ESOL travel activity.

Give each student or pair a postcard. They look at the picture and imagine what they did on that vacation, and then pretend that they’re writing to a friend or family member.
Exchange postcards and another student or group have to write a response to what they read.
Display the postcards around your classroom (optional).

#5: Travel or Holiday Videos

I’m ALL about using videos with my ESL/EFL students. They’re fun, engaging and a nice way to grab student’s attention and introduce a topic. Of course, you can base an entire class around one too if you design the activities well.

If you want to find out more about using them in your classes and some activities and games to do with them, you’ll want to check this out: Using Videos for Teaching English .

#6: Dictogloss ESOL Travel Activity

This is a challenging activity that works on listening and writing skills. Find a short story related to holiday or travel. It could even be a description of your own vacation that you took recently.

Then, you read out the story to your students in a way that is a bit challenging for them to catch every word. Students have to take notes and then try to reconstruct what they heard based on their notes in small groups. You can read it again so that students have a chance to make some additions or corrections. Finally, students compare their version with the original.

Do you want to try it out with your students? You can learn more about one of the best ESL travel activities here: ESL Dictogloss Activity .

I love to use surveys in my classes because they lend themselves to just about any topic. In the case of travel, they’re ideal for working on the present perfect and simple past together.

For example:

Have you ever travelled to another country?

Where did you go?

If you want to know more about how to design and use surveys in your classes for an ESL travel lesson, then you’ll want to check this out: Surveys for ESL Students.

ESL Travel Games and Activities

I also love to use ESL surveys to get students to express an opinion in English.

#11: Present Perfect Activities Related to Travel

The present perfect is often used to talk about vacations, travel and holidays. For example:

Have you ever been to another country?
Have you travelled to ______ before?

In order to incorporate this grammatical construction into some of your lesson, you’ll want to check this out: Present Perfect ESL Activities.

#12: Brochure Scanning

This is an excellent travel activity! You’ll have to get your hands on some travel brochures first. The way it works is that students get tons of practice with a reading sub-skill (scanning) because they have to look quickly through the brochures to find specific bits of information. For example, cost or number or days.

Do you want to try out this reading activity? You can find out all the details here: Brochure Scanning Reading Activity for ESL .

#13: Odd One Out ESL Warmer

This is a quick English warm-up activity that you can try out with your students. The way it works is that you write words, in groups of 4 on the board. 3 are similar and 1 is the odd one out. Students have to choose this one and say why it doesn’t fit. For example:

Bathing suit, sunglasses, boots, flip-flops

Answers: Boots because it’s not for a beach vacation. I accept many different answers as long as students support it well.

#14: Would you Rather?

I’m sure you’ve done this before with friends. You have to choose between two negative things, or two positive things. For example, how you want to die, or what you want to eat. In this case, students could choose between two types of vacation. For example:

Would you rather have a beach or forest vacation?

Would you rather stay in a big hotel, or an AirBNB?

#15: Task Based Activity: Dream Vacation

I love to incorporate this style of teaching into my holiday lessons. It allows students more freedom to choose what they want to learn about and also builds opportunities for some serious teamwork.

In this case, I’ll have students work in groups of 2-3 to plan a dream vacation. They can do some research to find out all the details including how to get there, food, budget, where to stay, etc. Then, they either have to write a report and hand it in to me and/or do a short presentation to the class.

Need some more ideas for this style of a lesson? Check this out: Task-Based Learning .

#16: Travel Themed Charades

I love to play charades with my students. The way it works is that you can think of some travel-related phrases. For example:

Flying on a plane
Sleeping on a bus
Eating noodles
Buying souvenirs

Then, students have to act this out and their teammates have to guess what the phrase is. More details here: ESL Charades.

#17: Travel Journal

Encourage students to keep a travel journal for a fictional trip. They can describe their experiences, sights, and sounds, using new vocabulary.

Travel and Holidays ESL

#18: Eliciting in an ESL Travel Lesson

Unless your students are absolute beginners, then it’s likely that they already know a good amount of travel and holiday vocabulary. That’s often why I like to start off my ESL traveling lesson by using some eliciting techniques. There are two main reasons for this.

The first reason is that it’s possible to find out what the students already know about this topic to avoid wasting class time covering these things. The second is that it helps students activate their prior knowledge about travel/holidays to make the new things they learn more memorable. Learn how to do this tactic for an ESL holiday lesson here:

ESL Eliciting Advice .

#19: Travel Listening Lesson

A nice way to talk about any topic is through a listening lesson. In this case, find a conversation between two people talking about an upcoming vacation plan. Or, someone talking about a favourite vacation from the past (it could even be you). Then, design an entire listening lesson around that. Find out how here:

#20: Idiom ESL Traveling Activity

There are lots of idioms related to holidays, travel and transportation. Here are just a few of them:

All hands on deck
To send flying
Bump in the road
Off the rails
Train wreck
Asleep at the wheel
Fall off the wagon
Hit the road

One of the best ways to make these idioms super memorable is to do this fun activity. Afterwards, your students will never forget! Learn more about this ESL activity:

Idiom Activity for Language Learners .

#21: Concentration ESL Traveling Vocabulary

One of the best ways to review new words during an ESL holiday or travel lesson is to play this memory game. Depending on the level of the students, make some matching pairs of cards with the following:

Word/picture
Word/definition
Word/clue about the word

Then in small groups, students play the game to find the matches. Find out all the details about how to set it up and play:

ESL Concentration Game .

#22: Speaking Fluency Activity

To use this activity with a unit on holidays or travel, have students talk about a past, or upcoming vacation.

#23: Me Too!

Students have to make a true statement about themselves related to holidays and travelling. For example:

I’ve been to Japan.
I hate the beach.
My family goes on a big vacation every summer.

If other students can agree, they stand up and say, “Me too!”

#24: Labour Day Guessing Game

#25: Holiday Interviews

Pair students and have them interview each other about their favorite holidays. They can then present their partner’s holiday to the class.

#26: Travel Bingo

Create bingo cards with images or words related to travel and holidays. Students mark off the squares as they learn new vocabulary.

#27: Travel-Themed Role-Plays

Set up role-plays where students act as travelers, airport staff, or hotel receptionists. This helps them practice common travel dialogues.

#28: Travel Vocabulary Pictionary

Play Pictionary using travel-related words. Students take turns drawing and guessing the vocabulary words.

#29: Travel Storytelling

Ask students to create and share short stories about a memorable travel experience they’ve had or wish to have in the future.

#30: Travel Debate

Have students debate the pros and cons of traveling. This encourages critical thinking and speaking skills.

Travel and Holiday Vocabulary

Here are some of the most common vocabulary words that you may want to teach your students related to traveling for an ESL holiday lesson.

bathing suit
boarding pass
vaccination
The months of the year in English
