The road distance from Hyderabad to Ooty is 871 km via NH167, NH150A — too long for most people to drive in one go.
You cross 7 toll plazas across Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu. For a car the published fees add up to ₹365 one way, about ₹0.42 per km, cheaper than most highway corridors. 2 plazas on this route do not publish fees in the NHAI dataset; budget about ₹160 extra to be safe.
At 15 h 5 min of realistic driving time, plan an overnight halt roughly halfway — two drivers sharing the wheel is the safer option if you must do it in one day.
Ooty is a hill destination: the last stretch climbs ghat roads, where mileage drops by roughly 15–25% and speeds fall sharply. Our fuel figures use flat-road mileage, so add a buffer.
