The Talakaveri Temple is known as the source of the Kaveri River, and its serene atmosphere makes it ideal for relaxing and contemplating. After a 45-minute drive, Abbey Falls offers picturesque views of the waterfall and surroundings, with the sound of water creating a soothing ambiance. The Coffee Plantation tour is a must-visit for those who want to learn about coffee cultivation and processing and enjoy the scenic beauty of the plantation. It takes about 2 hours, and we recommend savoring their fresh coffee after the tour.
The Dubare Elephant Camp offers an unparalleled experience of interacting with elephants. Visitors can enjoy activities such as elephant bathing and feeding. After spending a few hours with these gentle giants, we will head over to Nisargadhama, an island surrounded by the Cauvery river. Walking through the picturesque bamboo groves and hanging bridge of the island provides a refreshing break from regular life and a chance to connect with nature.
If you have more time, consider visiting Bylakuppe, which is home to a Tibetan settlement and Namdroling Monastery. Spending a night in a homestay in Coorg and experiencing the local lifestyle is also highly recommended. For those with less time, we suggest choosing between Abbey Falls and the Coffee Plantation Tour based on your interests. Dubare Elephant Camp, on the other hand, is a must-visit. Finally, keep in mind that Coorg has a tropical climate, so pack comfortable clothing and sunscreen if you're visiting during the summer.
