Coorg Coffee Trail
“Where coffee is grown and worshipped.”
“India's Scotland. Coffee plantations, waterfalls, and homemade pork curry at 1,200m elevation.”
Plantation Arrival
Mysuru to Madikeri Drive
3 hours through Mysuru and into the ghats. The last hour is pure S-curves through coffee and cardamom.
Abbey Falls
20m waterfall in a coffee plantation — magical. Visit right after rainfall for full flow.
Rainforest Retreat
Certified organic coffee estate. Bungalows inside the plantation. Book the estate walk experience.
Coffee & Cultures
Coorg Coffee Cured (Plantation Walk)
Early morning walk through the estate before harvest. The smell alone is worth the trip.
Madikeri Fort
Small but well-preserved 17th century fort, now a museum. Free entry, good views.
Coorg Cuisine Home Kitchen
Call ahead for a home-cooked Coorgi meal — pork curry (pandhi kari) is the specialty.
Nagarhole Safari
Nagarhole National Park
Morning jeep safari (6am). Best chance of seeing elephants, wild dogs, and if you're lucky — tigers.
Talacauvery & Exit
Talacauvery
Source of the Cauvery river at 1,270m. The drive up through mist is atmospheric.
Brahmagiri Peak Trek
6km moderate trek from Talacauvery. Panoramic views of the entire Kodagu district.
