What is shortest train route for Ooty from Bhopal???

Answer 1

Shortest train route is first to take train to Mysore & from mysore to ooty by bus. following trains run between Bhopal & Mysore.

SWARNA JAYANTHI
Leave BHOPAL JN 17:40 reach MYSORE JN 06:20 Runs only Monday
9776 JP MYSORE EXP
Leave BHOPAL JN 07:20 reach MYSORE JN 20:30 10 Runs Tue, Thus

If you won't get reservation in these trains then first go to Bangalore then bangalore to mysore & Mysore to ooty. ( You can also get direct bus from Bangalore to ooty)

Answer 2

Ooty-Bangalore-Bhopal
Ooty-Chennai-Bhopal, both might have a difference of about 50-75 KMS, but trains are not like flights that take the shortest routes

Answer 3

In terms of distance I think, it is

Bhopal-Bangalore-Coimbatore-Ooty

Bhopal - Bangalore - I think Rajdhani Goes here (check this)

Bangalore - Coimbatore (I think there is a Shatabdi here)

Coimbatore - Ooty (Blue Mountain)



But in terms of connectivity and number of trains available and time taken I think it is

Bhopal-Chennai-Coimbatore-Ooty also works

Bhopal-Chennai
(Grand Trunk, Tamilnadu Express)

Chennai-Coimbatore-Ooty
(Kovai Express (Kovai is Tamil name for Coimbatore)
or
Blue Mountain (exact name not known) Express

Answer 4

Go to Chennai in Tamil Nadu express, Grand Trunk express and from there by bus to Ooty

Answer 5

ooty - coimbatore-Bhopal (by Delhi bound trains)
