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. ).

Kote Betta

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.

Tibetan Monastery / Golden Temple Coorg

Reviewed By ajaygx

The golden Temple or the Namdroling monastery is a lovely place with 3 temples. The largest temple has monks studying there. The architecture and paintings on the walls is amazing. The monks living quarters are right there and they are hardly perturbed with the large number of tourists visiting them. It is on the way to Madikeri and is a must visit.
