Monsoon (July – October): Since Ooty receives heavy rainfall, Monsoon Season isn't the best time to go because it may hamper your itinerary. However, if you are a nature aficionado, the best time to visit Ooty is indeed during the Monsoon.

Plants and flowers that have never been seen before abound the mountain slopes and valleys, and the sheer wildness and beauty of these blooms will leave you speechless and begging for more. However, getting from one location to another may be a nightmare during the monsoons, as mountain routes become slick and vision is reduced owing to heavy fog.
Winter Season (November-February): Winter in Ooty is a unique affair, with temperatures ranging from 5°C to 17°C. Although the days are sunny, the cold winds might make you shiver. Thus, you must bring warm clothing with you.
