Coorg (Kodagu) Complete Travel Guide

 

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.

The place offers you a lot more than you can imagine- beautiful French architecture, stunning views to die for, ample of places to fill in your tummy and gazillion of places to satisfy that shopaholic in you.I drove to this Union Territory from  Chennai . Taking the East Coast Road (ECR), I reached Pondicherry in almost three hours. As you make your way into Pondy, you quickly realize why this place is also called ‘The French Riviera of the East’.

Unlike most tourists who book their stays in White Town or Auroville, I chose to stay in Hotel RKN International, a refined 3 star hotel in Annasalai. On reaching Pondi, I rented a Wespa, which cost Rs. 350 a day, and allowed me to ride to White Town in under 10 minutes, and popular beaches in half an hour.  ...
