Coorg 3 Day Itinerary

This Coorg 3 day itinerary is built for travellers who want a realistic, locally-aware plan without overloading every day. It combines the destination's key places, stay-area guidance, group planning tips, cost notes, and practical buffers so your group can plan faster.

You'll cover Madikeri, Raja’s Seat, local market, cafe/plantation stay. Most days are easiest from Madikeri, Kushalnagar, Virajpet or plantation stays. One thing to plan around: attractions are spread out; choose stay by route or the group will spend too much time in cars.
