Start your honeymoon with a visit to the stunning Abbey Falls. The waterfall, located amidst lush green coffee plantations, cascades down from a height of 70 feet into a pool. The sound of the waterfall and chirping of birds make it a perfect spot for a peaceful getaway. The monsoon season is the best time to witness the beauty of the falls, with the water in full flow.
Get up close and personal with gentle giants at the Dubare Elephant Camp. You can feed, bathe and ride elephants in the natural surroundings of the river, forest and hills. The camp also hosts elephant shows and gives insight into the history and ecology of the region.
Wake up early to drive up to the beautiful Coorg Hill Station and enjoy stunning views of the sun rising over the Western Ghats. This hill station boasts of a plethora of peaks covered in greenery, surrounded by orange orchards and paddy fields. Don't forget to try the local South Indian breakfast delicacies, such as 'vada' and 'idli' at nearby cafes.
Get lost in the pristine surroundings of the Brahmagiri Wildlife Sanctuary. This sanctuary is home to a variety of flora and fauna, including the endangered lion-tailed macaques, elephants, tigers, and rare species of birds. You can trek through the forest or take a jeep ride and enjoy the serene surroundings.
If you have more time, make sure to visit the Talacauvery - the source of the river Cauvery, and the Nagarhole National Park for another wildlife adventure. If you have less time, skip the Brahmagiri Wildlife Sanctuary or the Coorg Hill Station Views and spend more time exploring Virajpet, the nearby small town known for its coffee plantations and colonial-era churches.
