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.
