One Cab Service runs one way taxis from Ooty to Salem every day. The road distance is about 215 km (approx. 5 hrs). You are billed only for the one-way trip, making it far more economical than a call taxi that charges both ways.

A 215 km journey is an easy half-day drive. Leave Ooty after breakfast and you can reach Salem by late morning or lunch — convenient for a temple visit, a family occasion, a hospital appointment or a train or flight connection. Part of the route climbs a ghat road with hairpin bends; our drivers are experienced on hill roads, and a hill charge may apply.
