Coorg travel guide & tour packages
Kodagu, universally called Coorg, is coffee country in the Western Ghats and the standard weekend escape from Bengaluru — which means Friday and Saturday nights are busy and expensive, and midweek is a different and much better place. The appeal is the landscape and the plantation stays rather than any list of sights: mist, coffee under shade trees, and a distinct Kodava culture with its own food and martial tradition. Two nights midweek beats three at the weekend. Abbey and Iruppu falls are best just after the monsoon; in April they are a trickle and the drive is not worth it.

Coorg FAQs
When should I avoid Coorg?
Weekends, if you can. It is the standard Bengaluru weekend break, so rates roughly double and the roads fill. Midweek is a noticeably better experience.
Is Coorg good in the monsoon?
It is green and beautiful and the waterfalls are at their best, but leeches are a genuine nuisance on plantation walks and some roads wash out. Late September to October is the sweet spot.
