Things to do in Coorg (2 day trip)

We get asked this quite a bit. So decided to have a page with all this information.

Day 1: (depends on what time you reach)

Relax and walk around in the plantation - the guide will show you around the coffee plantation. This is to be done before dark. Please do not venture out in the estate after dark.

Alternatively - sight seeing before it gets dark - within a 10 km radius of our property

• Naalknaadu palace - which sheltered the King of Virajpet during his fight with the British
• Igguthappa temple - ancient temple of the Kodava community
• Thadianda mol - highest peak in the western ghats (trekking)
• Virajpet town visit - 18th century St Anne's church; Clock tower There are more options - but it depends on time - and these can be done on another day as well

Day 2:

After breakfast Drive to Madikeri (aka Mercara) Make sure you check out the following - Rajas seat, old fort (Govt offices now), Raja's tomb, Omkareshwara temple, Abbey falls. If you are interested in
trekking - Madalpatti hills should be added - it's a short drive from Madikeri (detour from enroute to Abby falls)- but your vehicle needs to have good power for this !!

Another side trip could be to Talacauvery - the origin of the river Cauvery! (45 mins drive) from Madikeri. Make sure you eat at Madikeri though - as there are good options there If you get late - might as well have dinner in Madikeri.

After breakfast, head to Dubare elephant camp - nice picnicy type location on the banks of Cauvery with tons of elephants (This is to be done early in the morning)  ! And head to the largest Tibetan settlement in the world at Bylakuppe - and the Namdroling monastery (golden temple) before heading back to Bangalore (typically most of visitors drive in from Bangalore.
