Another great temple to visit, in all our Coorg travel packages, is the Omkareshwar temple, built by a king centuries ago because of a sin he committed.

This won’t be included in any Coorg tour packages but must be taken seriously at any cost.
Coorg has so many waterfalls to visit, each standing out for different reasons. When you select one of our Coorg tour packages, you will be taken to the best waterfall spots.

The best part is that the government charges a very small price for the beauty you get to experience in return! Most Coorg travel packages include one or two waterfalls.
Coorg’s speciality, the thing people travel for is Coorg’s coffee. One of the best things to do in Coorg. The awesome thing when you book one of our Coorg trip packages is not the fact that you can smell coffee in the air all day long, it is the fact that you can actually watch your coffee being made from scratch, from the farm to your cup! A lot of owners open up their estates for tours, and it is the cutest thing you could do in Coorg. We include only the best coffee estate on our Coorg packages. At the end of one of our Coorg trip packages that you booked, you get to have coffee that is freshly made from the beans ground right in front of you. You suddenly develop a sense of understanding and gratitude for what goes behind the joy you experience on a daily basis when you have your cup of coffee for the day. Make sure that your Coorg travel package includes this because it is considered one of the top Coorg tourist attractions. It is a must even if you are visiting for a day, so include it in your Coorg one day tour.
Coorg has so many things to buy, it is a shopper’s paradise. Our Coorg packages will ensure you take home many gifts. A cook's paradise, mainly because you get organic spices here, brought to you straight from the farm, may it be pepper, cardamom, nutmeg or even dry fruits, all locally grown and sold to tourists. There is hardly any scope for manipulation. When you book one of our Coorg trip packages, you can also take home fresh coffee powder. The stock runs out on a daily basis, so rest assured that your coffee powder was probably a bean a week or two ago. You also get homemade chocolates and homemade wine, both of which are local specialities that should not be missed at any cost. Ensure that your Coorg sightseeing package includes an ample amount of time for shopping.
Coorg has a fascinating history. The Kodava clan began in this very region, and you can discover more about them at the fort and in Raja’s tomb. For history buffs, this is one of the most memorable places to see in Coorg. It also has the ancestry home of General Thimayya, which has been converted into a war memorial that you can see if you book one of our Coorg trip packages.

Coorg is a hill station, a small town, cut off from the everyday fancies of the big city, which is a blessing in today’s times. Switch off your phones, go for a long walk around the town, sign up for a group hike, or even consider going to a nearby garden and reading a book while lying in the grass or even looking at the clouds moving in the sky and the trees gently swaying in the breeze. This might not be included in our Coorg packages but we want you to make time for it! Make time for yourself on this trip, some time for the heart, mind and soul. In your Coorg travel make time to breathe.
The Dubare Elephant Camp is one of the top places to visit in Coorg. You get to pet elephants, feed elephants and even ride on them for forty-five minutes. That’s not just the best part, to get to the camp, you have to take a small boat ride, which is also so refreshing. You also have the option of living in the cottages in the elephant camp if you are a big elephant enthusiast and you think being close to them heals something in you. It is definitely one of the best places in Coorg. You have to include this in your Coorg itinerary.
Coorg’s local food is a gift passed down from generations of Kodavas, the native people of Coorg. The two famous curries eaten in Coorg are Pandy Curry and Baimbale Curry. Pandy curry is the pork curry which has been prepared for time immemorial since the time wild boars visited the farms of Kodavas. Kodavas used to hunt them and eat their meat. However, now hunting is banned, so pig meat is used instead. This curry is spicy and quite aromatic. The next curry that is deeply loved is the bamboo shoot curry, also known as Baimbale curry. Bamboo shoots are soaked in water for 2-3 days before the curry is prepared. The chilli and coriander will be a treat for your taste buds. Both of these curries are enjoyed with Akki Roti, Kaddambuttu and Nuuputtu. Akki roti is rotis made out of rice, Kaddambuttu are rice dumplings and Nuuputtu are thin noodles made of rice. So, you must try and eat these on your Coorg trip and that will happen only if you include it in your Coorg tour itinerary.
The Golden Temple should not be mistaken with the one in Amritsar. This one’s equally special. The Golden Temple in Coorg is a Buddhist monastery also known as the Namdroling Monastery. You can see monks walking around, praying and meditating. It is a peaceful place with a meditative atmosphere. You can also enjoy some Tibetan delicacies at the cafe within the monastery’s complex. It is a three-story building with 600 monks and 16,000 refugees residing, making it the second-largest Tibetan settlement outside of Tibet. This is one of the best places to visit in Coorg.
Omkareshwar temple was built in 1820 by King Lingrajendra II because he had sinned. He had killed an innocent Brahmin man due to political aspirations. This death deeply affected him, he started having many nightmares, and under the instructions of some astrologers, he built this Shiva temple. The shivling in this temple was brought from Kashi back then. The architecture of the temple has elements of both Hinduism and Islam. Visiting this temple is a must because it leaves you with a sense of calm and divinity. This temple is located in the heart of Coorg, i.e. in the main area of Madikeri. Don’t forget to add this to your Coorg sightseeing package if you are spiritual! It is one of the best places in Coorg!
The highlight of Coorg, its main attraction is the numerous coffee estates found in every nook and cranny of Coorg. A lot of these estates are open to tourists for natural plantation walks. It is an absolute delight to walk with your friends and family and learn how coffee beans come into existence. Many of these walks end with a steaming cup of coffee with beans from the estate itself. The information and insights you gather about coffee will be a memory of a lifetime. There’s something so beautiful in watching the process of something being made from scratch, like coffee, that most people love. Well, that surely sounds like a fun experience.

This is one of the top places to visit in Coorg. People from all age groups will enjoy this particular activity. Tourists can go to this camp by taking a short boat ride. During the summer, during summers the river dries up so they can walk to the camp. In the camp, you get to feed the elephants and also take an elephant ride which is 45 minutes long. If you are someone who loved the documentary Elephant Whisperer, then this place is just for you! Here, elephants are not treated like circus animals, in fact, they are in their natural habitat and are trained by naturalists. If elephants fascinate you a little too much, you can consider spending a night at the cottage in the camp. You can then spend an entire day in the company of some mighty and adorable elephants. Plan your Coorg itinerary while keeping these adorable and mighty elephants in mind.
At the border of Coorg is the Nagarhole National Park. It is a tiger reserve with the biggest tiger population after Corbett and Kaziranga. Nagarhole has many pretty streams, rich in wildlife and abundant vegetation. Along with tigers, you can find many birds and animals like leopards, elephants, sloth bears, gaurs, sambhars and antelopes. Nagarhole means serpent's hole in Kannada.
So, this has to be one of the top Coorg tourist attractions, and it is unmissable!
Coorg has some majestic waterfalls like the Abbey Falls, Iruppu Falls, Burude Falls, Mallalli Falls, and Devarakolli Falls. Each of these falls will be a sight for your sour eyes.

General K Thimayya served in the Indian Army as Chief of Army Staff from 1957 to 1961.

However, now hunting is banned, so pig meat is used instead. This curry is spicy and quite aromatic. The next curry that is deeply loved is the bamboo shoot curry, also known as Baimbale curry. Bamboo shoots are soaked in water for 2-3 days before the curry is prepared. The chilli and coriander will be a treat for your taste buds.
