Start your morning with a visit to the stunning Abbey Falls, located just outside Madikeri. The falls are at their peak during monsoon season, but June still offers a great view and a refreshing mist. You can take a short, scenic hike to the falls from the parking area. In the afternoon, explore the Raja's Seat, a beautiful garden with a breathtaking view of the surrounding hills. End the day with a visit to Madikeri Fort, a historic fort that was once the palace of the Kodagu kings.
Take a day trip to Talakaveri, the birthplace of the Cauvery River. The scenic drive to the spot is a great way to start the day. Once you reach Talakaveri, take the stairs to the top where the river starts as a small spring. From there, enjoy the breathtaking views of the hills and forests. After that, head to Bhagamandala, a town where the Cauvery and Kannika rivers meet. Visit the Bhagandeshwara Temple and explore the beautiful gardens. On your way back to Madikeri, stop by the Dubare Elephant Camp to see the majestic animals up close.
Coorg has plenty of natural beauty and outdoor activities to offer. You can go for a trek in Pushpagiri Wildlife Sanctuary, visit the Omkareshwara Temple, or take a walk through the coffee plantations. If you have extra time, consider taking a side trip to Nagarhole National Park or the nearby town of Kushalnagar. To make the most of your trip, try local cuisine and stay in a homestay to get a taste of the local culture.
