Coorg, rightly
called as the Scotland of India, is the most ideal place for a trip from
Bangalore. If you’re someone who dreams of lush greenery, breathtaking
waterfalls, hills covered with forests, and spectacular misty landscapes, Coorg
is meant just for you!
Best Time To Plan Your Coorg Trip
While Coorg is a
perfect year-round destination, the best time to travel from Bangalore to Coorg is from September to March. The
weather during this time is pleasant, refreshing, and quite welcoming. This is
also the peak season for tourists, so high tariff is an issue you might
definitely face when booking a hotel. But, the experience is complete value for
money. A trip to Coorg from Bangalore during this time will also help you
witness the gorgeous rainfall that this town experiences.
Ideal Duration
A lot of people
prefer and plan a one day trip to
Coorg from Bangalore, which is usually
quite hectic and packed. If you’re heading out for a relaxed leisure holiday,
then plan a trip of at least three to four days to soak in the peace Coorg has
to offer. Of course, you can also have a week long trip, which would completely
depend on your itinerary and interests. Though,
the ideal duration to stay and explore Coorg is three days.
Things To Do On Your Coorg Trip
1. Mandalpatti
A jeep drive with your friends or your
better half is probably one of the best things to do in Coorg. The jeep can accommodate seven persons at max
at one time.This fascinating place gives you an obstacle-free panoramic
view of the sky and the hills. An absolutely pleasant experience!
2. Abbey Falls
One
of the most famous waterfalls down south, Abbey Falls is also the most
beautiful of all. It’s located some 10 km away from Madikeri and is
undoubtedly the best place to visit in Coorg. The falls come down from cascading mountains of the Western
Ghats and make for a perfect picturesque backdrop. Click some romantic
pictures with your partner or enjoy the falls from
the hanging bridge with your friends and family.
3. East End Restaurant
Being one of the first local restaurants in
Coorg to offer crockery and cutlery, East end is a good place to go for a lunch
or dinner. Dive into the local cuisines and relish the savouries of the south.
This place is ideal for those looking to eat within a budget.
4. Talacauvery
Talacauvery,is the origin point of river Cauvery.On reaching Talacauvery you
will find a huge arch at the gate amidst the Brahmagiri hills.
Talacauvery is famous for two things, firstly for the temple dedicated to
Kaveriamma (Mother Cauvery, yes in India people worship all the rivers)
and secondly for the majestic views of the Brahmagiri hills.
5. Coffee plantation visit
If you’re in Coorg, then your visit is incomplete without visiting Coffee Plantation. There are many coffee estates in and around Madikeri Town where you can visit the plantation and learn about the process of coffee making. Tour lasts for at least an hour. Although you can such visits online, I would suggest you inquire local people about the same. They will advise you on the best ones at cheaper charges than what you will find online. Also, by doing so you don’t need to worry about the timings and can plan according to your own convenience.
