Start early for a scenic 6–7 hour drive from Raichur to Kabini, passing through rural Karnataka landscapes — the most efficient start to your south Karnataka loop.
Check into your luxury resort and enjoy a relaxed multi-cuisine lunch — resorts serve local Coorg/Karnataka dishes plus continental options (resort restaurants open for lunch ~12:00–15:00).
Romantic candlelit dinner featuring local Kodava specialties and international cuisine; resorts often arrange private dining options (dinner service ~19:00–22:00).
Early-morning wildlife jeep safari (safari slots commonly 6:00–9:00am) to spot elephants, deer, peafowl and possibly big cats — book through resort/forest department in advance.
Light lunch at the hotel restaurant — many top Coorg resorts (Taj Madikeri, Evolve Back Coorg) offer fresh local dishes and all-day menus (restaurants open ~12:00–15:00, evening from 19:00).
Visit Raja's Seat viewpoint in Madikeri for sunset (site open in the day up to early evening) — short stroll, landscaped gardens and great panoramic views.
