Useful Tips

If you have extra time, consider visiting the Talacauvery Temple, the birthplace of the Cauvery River or take a hike to the Brahmagiri Peak, an 11.5 km trek. If you are traveling with children, stop by the Jawahar Toy Museum in Mysore and the Namdroling Monastery or Golden Temple in Coorg.

If you have less time, you can skip the Coorg Wildlife Society and Abbey Falls and instead try the Quad Biking and obstacle courses at the Madikeri Fort Adventure Park in Coorg.
