Start your trip with a visit to the breathtaking Abbey Falls. The cascading waterfall surrounded by lush greenery is a feast for the eyes. You can take a short trek to reach the falls, which will take you through beautiful coffee and spice plantations. Spend some time enjoying the cool breeze and peaceful atmosphere around the falls.
Head to Raja's Seat to witness an awe-inspiring sunset. This beautiful garden was once the favorite spot of Kings and Queens to enjoy the spectacular views of Coorg. You can also take a stroll in the garden, and sit on the benches and relax. The view of the misty hills from Raja's Seat during the sunset is pure magic.
Wrap up your trip with an unforgettable experience at the Dubare Elephant Camp. You can watch and learn how the elephants are taken care of by the mahouts, take a boat ride in River Cauvery and get to interact with the gentle giants. Don't forget to take a lot of pictures and create lasting memories.
If you have more time, you can add a visit to the Omkareshwara temple, Talakaveri, Bhagamandala, or the Madikeri Fort. If you have less time, skip the Dubare Elephant Camp or the Raja's Seat. During peak season, the places may get crowded, so plan accordingly. Wear comfortable shoes as you will be walking around a lot and the terrain can be rocky. Don't forget to carry a raincoat or umbrella as it can rain anytime in Madikeri.
