Start your adventure in Coorg, a serene hill station known for its coffee plantations and stunning natural scenery. Kick off your day with a trek to the Brahmagiri Peak, the highest point in Coorg. The trek takes about 6-7 hours, so pack ample snacks and water. After the trek, head to the Abbey Falls, a popular cascading waterfall known for its picturesque location. End your day with a night camping at Namma Mane, a peaceful and secluded homestay in Malanduru.
Get ready to time-travel as you visit Hampi, a UNESCO World Heritage site famous for its ancient ruins and rich history. Start your day with a visit to the Vitthala Temple, an architectural masterpiece from the Vijayanagara Empire. Take a stroll to the nearby Elephant Stables, a must-see sight featuring grand domes and arched entrances. End your day with a sunset hike to the Anjaneya Hill, the birthplace of Lord Hanuman and popular vantage point for stunning sunset views.
If you have more time, consider adding a visit to Gokarna for a beach day or exploring the ancient ruins of Aihole and Badami. For a shorter itinerary, skip the Brahmangiri Peak trek and spend more time exploring Coorg's coffee plantations, or only spend a day in Hampi and visit the Virupaksha Temple and the Lotus Palace.
