Tips

To extend the trip, add a day in Coorg for a trekking adventure in the Western Ghats or a day in North Goa to explore the vibrant nightlife at Tito’s and Club Cabana. If you need to shorten the itinerary, skip the second day in Mysore and combine the Coorg activities into a single day, flying directly from Bangalore to Goa after a brief morning in Coorg.
