Why Coorg is worth the trip
Coorg (Kodagu) sits high in the Western Ghats of Karnataka. It is a land of coffee and pepper estates, forest streams and hills that disappear into the clouds by afternoon. It is also home to the Kodava people, whose hospitality, festivals and food — think pandi curry and akki roti — are reason enough to go.
Our 3-day tour covers the classics without rushing: Abbey Falls, Raja’s Seat at sunset, Dubare Elephant Camp, the Golden Temple at Bylakuppe, Talakaveri and a coffee-estate walk. Add white-water rafting at Barapole or a Tadiandamol trek if you want more adventure.
Tour highlights
- Sunset at Raja’s Seat, Madikeri’s royal viewpoint
- Abbey Falls through coffee and spice plantations
- Bathe and feed elephants at Dubare Elephant Camp on the Kaveri
- Namdroling Monastery (Golden Temple), India’s largest Tibetan settlement
- Talakaveri, source of the Kaveri, and Bhagamandala confluence

Best time to visit Coorg
- Best time
- Good
- Monsoon / off-peak
October to March is cool, green and clear. The monsoon (June–September) is lush and dramatic but leech-y and wet — perfect for rafting, not for viewpoints.
Good to know
- Book stays earlyCoorg is busy on long weekends and from Christmas to New Year. Book 2–3 weeks ahead.
- Start earlyLeave Bangalore by 6 am to beat traffic and reach in time for Abbey Falls.
- Respect local customsDress modestly at temples and the monastery, and ask before photographing people.
- Elephant-camp timingBathing happens in the morning only, so we plan Dubare first on Day 2.
