Kotagiri is one of the most beautiful tourist place. But don't try to visit in Dec Jan because of cold weather. I was in coonoor for the last 50 years. Way to Kotagiri by train get down at Coimbatore and get bus to Kotagiri or Come to Mettupalaym and get Ootty train which is more enjoyable trip and get down at Coonoor. From Coonoor take bus to Kotagiri. You can really enjoy there. Coonoor and Kotagiri is famous tourist place.
ENJOY WITH FAMILY

Kotagiri can be reached only by Road. From Coimbatore it is 66 km via Mettupalayam. From Mettupalayam it is 33 km. From Coonoor it is 23 km. From Ooty it is 28 km.
There are frequent buses from all the above places. You can hire tourist taxis from these places at a nominal charges
It is advisable to go to Coonoor first and then take a bus to Kotagiri.
Kotagiri - The oldest of the three Nilgiri hill stations, the village itself is dusty and uninspiring but the surrounding landscape of tea estates, tribal Kota settlements and rolling hills is a world away from the overdevelopment of Ooty.
From Kotagiri you can visit Catherine Falls, 8km away near the Mettupalayam road (the last 3km is by foot only, and the falls only flow after rain), Elk Falls (6km) and Kodanad Viewpoint (22km), where there’s a view over the Coimbatore Plains and Mysore Plateau. A half-day taxi tour to all three will cost around Rs 600. The scenery on the road down to Mettupalayam is gorgeous, so you may want to detour this way if you’re heading down from Ooty.
A couple of very basic lodges are in the small town centre and a splendid 1915 colonial building, Stone House Retreat (273300; www.naharhotels.com; r Rs 2000), offers fabulous views and atmosphere but charges like a wounded bull for all extras.
Situated at around 1793 meters above sea level, Kotagiri is one of the three prominent hill stations in the Nilgiris, Ooty and Coonoor being the other two. A tableland that enjoys the status of being the well-kept secret of the Nilgiris and boasts of a climate second only to Switzerland. A picturesque hill station developed around innumerable knolls and valleys, bounded by verdant green tea estates and offering a number of trekking options. The unpolluted and green environment, unhurried grace and renowned hospitality make it a wonderful and a reminiscent place for a peaceful sojourn.
Few must visit places:Catherine Falls,Elk Falls, Kodnad View point, Longwood Shola & Rangasamy Pillar.
