If you are flying
What the road asks of you
A round trip here is billed by the day, not the kilometre
A return journey is charged for at least 300 km per day, because the car stays with you for the whole trip rather than picking up another fare. This route is 255 km each way, so 509 km of driving over 3 days is still billed as 900 km. On a short trip that floor is most of the fare, and two one-way journeys can work out cheaper — worth comparing both before you book.
This route crosses into Karnataka
Leaving Tamil Nadu for Karnataka means a state permit. Whether you pay it depends on the fare you pick: a toll-included fare has it inside, and nothing is collected at the border; the cheaper fare leaves it out, and it is handed over at the checkpost. The amount is set by Karnataka, not by us, and the receipt is theirs.
Coorg is a district, not a town
Madikeri is in the middle; Kushalnagar and the Dubare elephant camp are on the plains before it; Virajpet and the southern estates are further on, over narrower roads. Give the village of your homestay when you book, not just "Coorg", or the fare and the time will be for the wrong place.
Estate roads in the monsoon
From June to September Coorg gets very heavy rain. The highways stay open, but the last stretch to many homestays is an estate road that turns to mud. Ask your homestay how the road is, and choose the SUV if they are unsure.
What is there
Abbey Falls
A waterfall in a coffee estate a short drive from Madikeri.
Raja's Seat
The viewpoint over the valley on the edge of Madikeri.
Dubare Elephant Camp
A forest camp on the Kaveri where elephants are kept and bathed.
Talakaveri
The source of the Kaveri, on Brahmagiri hill.
Namdroling Monastery, Bylakuppe
The Tibetan settlement and its golden temple, south of Kushalnagar.
Coffee estates
Working plantations across the district, many of which take visitors.
Worth knowing before you go
- The monsoon is heavy here from June to September, and the hill roads are slower for it.
- Places are far apart — plan a car for the days you are there, not just the way in.
