Tips

For a more relaxed pace, add an extra day in Coorg to explore the Dubare Elephant Camp and the Namdroling Monastery. If you’re short on time, skip the Mullayanagiri sunrise and replace the full‑day trek in Kudremukh with a shorter visit to Hoysala Temple in Belur, saving both time and travel distance.
