Tips

If you have an extra day, add a full‑day trek to Pushpagiri Wildlife Sanctuary for birdwatching and deeper immersion in Coorg’s forests. To shorten the trip, combine Day 2 and Day 3 activities by visiting Talacauvery early on Day 2 and skipping the evening at Iruppu Falls, allowing a quicker departure on Day 3.
