I fully agree with all of you guys. I need some more experience. But then, except for that one encounter where Indica cabbie scared me for life, I did rest of the ghat very comfortably. Even reverse driving is not such a problem for me in normal situations like parking and in city driving etc. I guess, these things we learn only when we encounter them?

Very true. Even traffic cops were very cooperative. Everytime I had some problem, I used to stop near a traffic cop and ask for directions.

Plan your trip very well. I suggest, start your trip very early around 5:30 am. Reach Ooty by 12 pm and on same day you can do local sightseeing like Botanical Garden, Rose Garden, Doddabetta, Ooty Lake etc.
On 2nd day, if you start early, you can easily cover Coonoor Sim's Park, Lamb's Rock, Dolphin's Nose, and Kotagiri Kodanad View. Come back to Ooty and you can do some boating at Pykara Lake.
