Coorg (Kodagu) in January (2026)

Coffee Estate Plantation Walk

Coorg produces nearly a third of India's coffee — guided walks through shaded arabica and robusta plantations interplanted with pepper vines and orange trees reveal how the beans are grown, harvested, and roasted.

Raja's Seat Sunset

A landscaped garden terrace where Kodava kings once watched the sun set over layered hills and valleys — still the most popular spot in Madikeri for an evening view, especially when mist rolls through the ranges.

Abbey Falls

A powerful waterfall cascading through coffee and spice plantations into a rocky pool — a suspension bridge offers an up-close view, with the spray at its most dramatic just after the monsoon.

Madikeri Fort

An 18th-century fort built by Tipu Sultan and later expanded by the British — within its walls are a colonial-era church now housing a museum, and a small chapel, with views over the town from the ramparts.

Omkareshwara Temple

An unusual Shiva temple combining Islamic-style domes with traditional Kerala architecture, built in 1820 — set around a tank with turtles, it reflects Coorg's blended cultural history.

Talacauvery (Cauvery Source)

High in the Brahmagiri hills, a small tank marks the sacred birthplace of the Cauvery River — pilgrims climb a further flight of steps to a viewpoint over the Western Ghats, especially atmospheric at sunrise.
