Tips

For a more relaxed pace, add an extra night in Coorg and explore nearby attractions such as Madikeri Fort and the Omkareshwara Temple, allowing shorter travel segments for the baby. If you need to shorten the trip, skip the boat ride on the Cauvery and combine Day 4’s elephant camp with Nisargadhama, reducing travel time while still enjoying the main highlights.
