When to go
Virajpet through the year
The same seasons shape all of Kodagu.
October to February
Cool, clear days
After the monsoon the air clears and the hills stay green. Mornings often start in mist, and it's a comfortable time for walks and viewpoints.
March to May
Coffee in bloom
The warmer months. When the first showers arrive, coffee estates flower white and fragrant for a few days.
June to September
The monsoon
Heavy rain, drifting cloud and waterfalls at their fullest. Some roads and trails are affected, so check conditions before you set out.
