A practical guide to planning a memorable trip to Coorg (Kodagu), Karnataka.
Coorg Travel Guide
Coorg—officially known as Kodagu—is one of Karnataka’s most inviting hill destinations. Set among rolling green hills and coffee country, the region combines misty viewpoints, waterfalls, forests, plantations, local food and a distinctly slower pace of travel.
Planning a Coorg trip is not simply about making a list of attractions. The experience changes with the season, the area you stay in, the route you choose and how much time you leave between stops. This guide is designed to help first-time visitors build a practical trip without trying to squeeze every sight into a single weekend.
