Tips

If you have extra time, consider adding a day in Coorg to explore Dubare Elephant Camp or the Namdroling Monastery. For a shorter trip, skip the bird sanctuary and limit the Coorg stay to one night, focusing only on Abbey Falls and Raja’s Seat. Adjusting accommodation types—from luxury resorts to budget guesthouses—can also significantly raise or lower the overall cost.
