Summer cap on tourist entries in Ooty and Kodaikanal introduced
The New Indian Express Tadepalligudem
|April 03, 2025
To streamline the entry process, a boom barrier will be installed at the Kallar checkpost near Mettupalayam for e-pass and green tax verification
As the sweltering summer heat grips urban centers, many are looking to escape to cooler hill stations. Udhagamandalam (Ooty) remains one of the most sought-after destinations, but visitors may find it more challenging to access this year due to newly enforced travel restrictions. The Madras High Court's directive limiting the number of tourist vehicles entering Ooty takes effect beginning on April 1. Under the new ruling, entry will be capped at 6,000 vehicles on weekdays and 8,000 on weekends, with no restrictions on local traffic. These measures will remain in place until June, the peak tourist season.
