Monsoons are almost here. It’s time to get away from the city life and off on a vacation. So we’ve decided to tell you a bit about one of the finest places in India to be in right now: Coorg. In the quaint little district,  there’s something for everyone.

Read on the following list of things you should definitely do when you are here. We promise that you’ll be convinced about booking your tickets/signing up for one of the Coorg tour packages by the time we finish:

Abbey Falls

Located 8 kilometers from Madikeri, Abbey falls is best visited during the monsoons. The falls are in their full glory once rains arrive. Located inside a private property, these falls are surrounded by coffee and spice plantations. The falls present a great respite from the everyday city life.

There’s a hanging bridge opposite to the fall, which allows visitors to take in the lovely sight from a distance. Finally, as you stand right near the falls, you get to experience the serenity of nature.

Careful though: the walking trail can be slippery. Also, you must exercise caution if you plan to take a dip in the water, as the flow of water can be strong.

Abbey Falls is one of the primary attractions in Coorg, and most guides or Coorg tour packages include it. And believe us – it’s worth visiting.

Talacauvery

Everyone has a different idea of peace. People who connect more with nature find Abbey Falls surreal. For those with a spiritual inclination, Talacauvery is the place to be at. No matter who you ask, it’s one of the must-visit places in different Coorg tour packages & itineraries.

Talacauvery is considered the origin of River Cauvery. A spring flows into a tank-like structure and then goes underground again. At some distance from the place, the water finally emerges as river Cauvery. For people with spiritual interests, there’s a temple of Goddess Kaveri.

One can sit at Talacauvery for hours and look over the valley from the vantage point. The hills make you feel at home and would make you not want to leave.

Barapole River Rafting

Coorg also has something for people who seek adventure. Barapole River has several class 4 rapids on which you can have a crazy time rafting. There are several professional agencies active in the area which take visitors on these trips. Their crew takes care of the training and safety of the visitors, and there’s nothing to worry about. Most rafting expeditions last for 90 minutes, and cost between ₹1000 – ₹1500 per person.

If you are an adventurous person, Barapole River rafting should be a part of your plan. If you’d like to save the hassle of choosing an agency, simply book one of the Coorg tour packages that include it. It’ll be a choice that the adventurous you will remember for days to come.

Raja’s Seat

After a day full of adventure and tranquillity, all of us would want to sit back, relax and enjoy the sunset. No matter which guide or Coorg tour packages you follow, Raja’s seat is recommended as the perfect sunset point. Located atop a hill in the town of Madikeri, Raja’s Seat is visited every day by both tourists and locals.

It’s magical to stand there and look at the valley spreading out in front of you. There’s a humble light and sound show organized there at sunset. Water from the fountains dance to different Indian songs, and it’s bound to leave you mesmerized.

With this, we end the list of 4 spots that you should definitely visit when you are in Coorg. Monsoon is already here, and if you haven’t planned your vacation till now, go and do it. If you are in the mood to just sit back and enjoy as you are shown around, simply sign up for one of our Coorg tour packages! We’ll take care of everything.
