Local Shops

Though there are some essentials available in Thotalingi village – it is best to shop for groceries etc in Masinagudi – just 4km away. If you have no transport you can get a ride in one of the crowded jeeps that regularly go between Thotalingi and Masinagudi. 

Recommended shops in Masinagudi include;

Hotel Dreamland at the top of the hill near the main cross roads – this is your local “hypermart” which fresh veg and fruit plus much more. Also restaurant with good Dosais etc and a “business centre” with fax, telephone and photocopiers as well as international couriers.   

 

Aruns Ice-cream parlour behind the jeep taxi stand at the main cross roads. (make sure their hasn’t been a long power cut)   

 

Post Office – on the Moyer Road.

 

“Friends” garage near the bridge on the way out on the Ooty road – they will give it a go fixing your vehicle and may succeed if it is a Mahindra! Though there is no petrol bunk in Masinagudi (nearest is 7km before Gudalur) you can buy small amounts of petrol or diesel at inflated prices – ask in “Friends” or Hotel Dreamland.
