    Our trip to Coimbatore and Ooty was really great. Right from the hotel booking and Cab service everything was perfect. Adiyogi Isha foundatiuon is a must visit place and was calm and beautiful. Ooty was really beautiful and the weather was nice and cold. I would really give this whole trip 5 stars!!
