Morning: Depart early from Bangalore and drive 135 km to the spectacular Shivanasamudra Falls. Enjoy a guided walk along the viewing platform to take in the twin cascades, Gaganachukki and Barachukki.
Afternoon: After lunch at a riverside dhaba, explore the historic Ranganatha Swamy Temple nearby, then take a short boat ride to feel the mist of the falls up close.
Evening: Return to Bangalore, stopping at Melaghat for a quick coffee before arriving back in the city for a relaxed dinner.
Find HotelsMorning: Head north to Coorg (≈250 km). First stop is the lush Abbey Falls, where a gentle trek through coffee plantations leads to a serene waterfall set in a rainforest.
Afternoon: Enjoy a traditional Coorgi lunch, then drive to the majestic Iruppu Falls near the Brahmagiri hills. A short hike brings you to the base of the 170‑meter cascade.
Evening: Conclude the day with a sunset view at Talacauvery (the source of the Cauvery River) before heading back to Bangalore, arriving late night.
Find HotelsIf you have extra time, add a half‑day visit to Melaghat for a coffee plantation tour or extend your stay in Coorg to explore the Dubare Elephant Camp. To shorten the trip, combine Day 2’s Abbey and Iruppu visits into a single day by skipping Talacauvery and focusing on the waterfalls only, which reduces travel time but still offers a memorable splash of nature.
