Trip from Hyderabad, Telangana, India to Coorg, Karnataka, India

Start your journey from Hyderabad. Opt for an early morning flight to Kannur (CNN) (approx. 1.5 hours flight duration) or Bengaluru (BLR) (approx. 1 hour flight duration). Alternatively, an overnight train or bus can be considered for a more budget-friendly smart travel option.

From Kannur Airport, hire a pre-paid taxi or use a car rental service to reach Coorg (approx. 3-4 hours). If arriving in Bengaluru, you can take a direct bus or hire a car (approx. 5-6 hours). Booking your onward travel in advance is recommended.

Check into your pre-booked accommodation. For a smart and relaxing stay, consider a homestay or a boutique resort surrounded by coffee plantations.

Take a leisurely walk around your resort or homestay, breathing in the fresh coffee-scented air. Enjoy a traditional Coorgi dinner at a local restaurant. Try the famous Pandi Curry (pork curry) or Kadambuttu (rice dumplings).

Visit Raja's Seat, a beautiful garden with a breathtaking panoramic view of the valleys and hills of Coorg. It's a popular spot for sunrise and sunset.

Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant, savoring more Coorgi specialties or South Indian cuisine.

Visit Talakaveri, the source of the River Cauvery, nestled in the Brahmagiri hills. The tranquil atmosphere and the scenic drive to get there are very relaxing. You can also visit the nearby Bhagandeshwara Temple.

Engage in a guided tour of a coffee plantation. Learn about the coffee cultivation process, from bean to cup, and enjoy a coffee tasting session. This offers a peaceful and educational experience.

Enjoy a relaxed dinner at your accommodation or a nearby restaurant.
