Overview

A relaxed 3 day trip from Bengaluru to Coorg. Your private car and driver pick you up from home and stay with you the whole trip, so there are no extra driver, toll, parking or permit charges later. You stay 2 nights in the hotel you pick, with breakfast. The plan keeps long drives to the first and last day, and the middle day is all sightseeing around Madikeri. Best from October to March. Note: Dubare elephant camp is now viewing only, from the marked area. Touching, feeding and bathing the elephants is no longer allowed.
