    Commercial Rd

    Ooty can be a fun place to shop, but don't expect anything out of the ordinary. The main places to shop are along Commercial Rd where you'll find Kashmiri shops as well as government outlets for Kairali and Khadi Gramodyog Bhavan.

    There's no need to lug warm clothes up to Ooty - you can pick up jackets from Rs100 and hats and gloves from Rs10 at shops along Commercial Rd near the bus stand.

  3. Cottage Crafts

    Run by the voluntary organisation Coordinating Council for Social Concerns in Kodai (Corsock), here you’ll find goods crafted by disadvantaged groups, with about 80% of the purchase price returns to the craftspeople. There’s also a second branch on PT Rd.
