Discover Coorg
Coffee, waterfalls and the source of a river
A few things that make Kodagu worth the journey.
Waterfalls and viewpoints
Abbey Falls near Madikeri and Iruppu Falls in the south are among the best known, along with viewpoints such as Raja's Seat and Mandalpatti. Waterfalls run fullest during and after the monsoon.
Kodava food
Kodava cooking is a tradition of its own: pandi curry, kadambuttu rice dumplings and akki otti flatbreads, often sharpened with kachampuli, a dark fruit vinegar.
The Kaveri and its forests
The Kaveri rises at Talakaveri in Kodagu's Brahmagiri hills, and the district's forests are part of the wider Western Ghats.
These notes are general. Check access, timings and seasonal conditions locally before you travel.
