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.

Mercara Gold Estate is a 20 year old coffee and spice farm 8 KM from Madikeri, Coorg. The farm is unique as all the spices are grown and well organised. There is also coffee processing and roasting at the estate itself. The estate offers a guided tour of the farm and visitors are introduced to all the different crops as well as roasting process. The tour takes about a hour and coffee is served at the end of it. Visitors also can buy some farm fresh products.
We were guided by Mr Ravi. He is very kind and knowledgeable guide who has a good knowledge about the plantation and explained everything about verities of coffee and spices. Enjoyed the plantation visit especially my son Evan he enjoyed walking through that plantation with Mr Ravi.

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.
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!

"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.

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.

We spent an evening at the Raja's seat, which was actually a sunset point cum park with a musical fountain. The park was a great fun place for my kid to play and enjoy himself. The views were magical and the time we spent there was worthwhile. Recommended for every visitor.
