I will be arriving in Delhi by road from Punjab, and from there on I would like to go to Ooty. I need to know what would be the best way of traveling to Ooty from Delhi. By road I know it will not be feasible as the distance is a lot and the journey will be very tiring. The only other options are by plane and train, which would be better?
Traveling from Delhi to Ooty

Depends how much money you want to spend on traveling. If you go by air you would need to fly to Coimbatore and return flight tickets would cost you in the range of Rs10000 to Rs11000 or more depending upon your duration of stay and also the dates you choose.
I dont want to discourage you from going to Ooty but why would you want to go to a hill station down south when you have the Himalayas right here in the North? There are plenty of hill stations where you can go by your own car and your expenses would be a lot less due to proximity to the destination you choose.

Please check on official irctc website for prices and availability.

Just a slight correction Deven! The difference is not much is traveling by train or plane.
If you get a flight it would work out to be around Rs10000. You would need to get a flight from Delhi to Coimbatore then a bus to Ooty.
If you get a train the cost would be around Rs9000. As there is no direct train to Ooty you would still need to get a flight to Coimbatore then a train to Tiruppur and then finally a bus to Ooty.
