Useful Tips

If you have more time, add a visit to the scenic hill stations of Chikmagalur or Madikeri. You can also add some more temple visits, such as the ISKCON temple in Bangalore or the Bull Temple in Mysore. If you have less time, skip some of the destinations or make the visits shorter. You can also choose not to take the Jog Falls and Dandeli Wildlife Sanctuary detours and stay on the coastal circuit instead.
