How I got there:

From Goa to Coonoor: Via bus (KSRTC) from Goa to Mysore to Ooty and a local to Coonoor

From Coonoor to Parsons Valley: Four-wheel drive (they send you one if required at extra cost)

Where I stayed:

Parsons Valley Retreat (Rs1800 per person per night including breakfast, lunch, tea + snacks, dinner). They made a bonfire and put some logs in the cabin so we wouldn’t freeze to death.

What I ate:

In Parsons Valley: delicious array of south Indian food

In Ooty: Chocolates from Modern Stores
