What to do and see in Kodagu (Coorg), Karnataka: The Best Things to do Good for Adrenaline Seekers

December 5, 2021 Madelene Haan

The misty hills, lush teakwood and sandalwood forests, and acres of tea and coffee plantations of Kodagu are, in a word, stunning. Also known as Coorg and dubbed "The Scotland of India," Kodagu is a postcard-perfect region of scattered villages and hamlets, which are the epitome of old-world charm. Kodagu is ideal for outdoor activities such as trekking, angling and white-water rafting, and major festivals like Keil Poldu (worship of weapons), Cauvery Shankaramana (return of the river goddess) and the Huttari (harvest) festival are a huge draw.

Mallalli Falls

Reviewed By sreekanthmohanan87 - Hyderabad, India

The falls are situated at a distance of 25 kilometres from Somwarpet.Mallalli falls - its orchestra of water, good location.The best time to visit the falls is the monsoon season as during this time the falls have plenty of water. Even the greenery around is at its best during this time. During summer season, the water of the fall almost dries down. Visiting during rainy season can be a good idea.

Tadiandamol Peak

Reviewed By Sudhhii - Bengaluru, India

Have to take local jeeps, even though expensive, to avoid messing ones own vehicle due crass roads and steep uphill drives. This is a viewpoint with a very little trek, carrying camera was worth it. A nominal 25/- was collected by the State Govt, maybe for upkeep charges. Sunrise and Sunset are the best times to visit this place. This place is best avoided during sunny/ hot weather. Also advisable not to litter.

Mandalpatti

Mandalpatti, crowned at a height of 1600m, is situated at around 18 km from Madikeri, Coorg. Gradually evolving as one of the best tourist spots in Coorg, this fascinating trail is located en route to Abbey Falls.

Reviewed By SaqibKhatib - Mumbai, India

Visited Coorg for a day and decided to drive up to Mandalpatti! The roads going uphill are a bit rough so a small vehicle would be a little uncomfortable but a regular sedan or an SUV would be easy to drive up to the top. From the top, you can get a offroading SUV for about INR 750 per person which takes you to a point in Mandalpatti which has a splendid 360 degree view once you climb a small hilltop after the Offroading experience. The scenery is breathtaking especially in the evening when the fog starts covering the valleys! A must see location if you visit Coorg! One or two days are sufficient to see all of Coorg!

Kote Abbey waterfalls

Reviewed By pavank1231 - Stillwater, United States

In all the waterfalls in and around coorg, this is the least crowded, clean, scenic & one of the few fall's where we can take a dip in the water safely (no changing rooms though). Bit hard to reach by sedan, hatchback(manageable with suv or bike). Make sure to carry extra clothes if you are visiting this place (after seeing it, most probably you will take a plunge in the water ). Note: Don't enter into the water below the falls(don't know why, locals advise. ).

Reviewed By Sudhhii - Bengaluru, India

Visited this place on 31st December 2020. A huge rocky hill covered by mist and having a temple of Shiva at its base. It was fun to scale the rocks to a certain height and feel the mist air. Recommended for Adventurists, couples, families and just about anyone. However please note to respect the temple premises and not litter.

"The Scotland of India", this is how the 19th century British referred to Coorg (or Kodagu) during their visit to this cloud covered hill station in the Western Ghats. Lodged in the midst of blue hills and green valleys in Karnataka, the greater part of Coorg is drained by the river Kaveri (Cauvery) and its tributaries. It is the ultimate destination to experience regal fields of coffee plantations and surreal beauty of nature. The weather here remains pleasant all year round. In July and August, rainfall is intense, and there are often showers into November. You can visit Coorg any time of the year with all transportation and stay arrangements being managed by Skyway International Travels for your comfort. We have an office in Madikeri (headquarters of Coorg) as well to facilitate any last minute arrangements. We are a 22 year old travel firm recognized by the Ministry of Tourism, Govt. of India.

Iruppu Falls

Reviewed By 170kannans - Chennai (Madras), India

Even in February, there was a distinct stream of water falling. The crowd was thin. The waterfall being in the midst of the Brahmagiri Forest Range (which is also a wildlife sanctuary) keeps the surrounding pristine. At the gate, before you ascend, you need to pay entry fees for the waterfall area as well as the sanctuary (Rs. 25 + Rs. 25). There are a few eateries near the gate; the sugarcane juice stall is a hit. The paid toilet is clean.
