2-Day Adventure Itinerary for Coorg

  1. Day 1: Dubare Elephant Camp
    30 minutes (14.5 km) from Madikeri

    Morning: Get up close and personal with majestic elephants at the Dubare Elephant Camp. Watch them being bathed, fed and trained. You can also take a coracle ride on the river and spot some bird species.

    Afternoon: Head to the Iruppu Falls, a scenic waterfall perfect for a refreshing dip. The falls are surrounded by lush greenery and are considered a sacred spot by the locals.

    Evening: Visit the Namdroling Monastery, the largest teaching center of the Nyingma lineage of Tibetan Buddhism outside Tibet. Wander around the beautiful temple complex and watch the monks performing their daily rituals.

  2. Day 2: Tadiandamol Trek
    1 hour 30 minutes (35 km) from Madikeri

    Morning: Start early to trek to the Tadiandamol Peak, the highest mountain peak in Kodagu. The trek is moderately difficult and takes around 4-5 hours but the stunning panoramic views of the valley below and the lush greenery make it worth it.

    Afternoon: After descending from the peak, head to the Chelavara Falls, a stunning waterfall that cascades down from a height of about 150 feet. You can take a dip in the refreshing waters or just relax by the falls.

    Evening: End your day with a visit to the Nisargadhama Forest Park, a beautiful island formed by the River Cauvery. You can walk around the bamboo groves, spot some wildlife or even go boating.
