Garuda Travels

Ooty cab & taxi service

Private cabs with experienced local drivers for sightseeing, day trips, airport transfers and outstation travel across the Nilgiris.

A local cab for every kind of Ooty trip

Ooty's attractions are spread across steep hill roads, and the best viewpoints and tea estates are well outside town. A private taxi with a local driver is the easiest way to see them at your own pace, without worrying about parking, directions or the ghat road bends.

Garuda Travels has been running cab and tourism services in Ooty for over 15 years. Our drivers know which places to visit first, where to stop for the views and how to plan around crowds and weather, so your day runs smoothly.
