Nagarhole National Park
Nagarhole National Park, officially known as Rajiv Gandhi National Park, is one of India's premier tiger reserves and a part of the Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve. Located on the northwestern edge of Coorg, the park spans over 640 square kilometres of dense deciduous and semi-evergreen forests teeming with wildlife. Safari visitors can spot tigers, leopards, wild elephants, Indian gaur, dholes, sambar deer, and an extraordinary variety of birds including the Indian grey hornbill and the crested serpent eagle. Jeep safaris and boat rides along the Kabini River backwaters are the most popular ways to explore the park. The golden light of dawn safaris offers the best wildlife sightings. Nagarhole is best visited between October and May. A trip to Coorg is incomplete without a morning or evening safari in this spectacular national park.
Madikeri Fort
Madikeri Fort, also known as Mercara Fort, stands in the centre of Madikeri town and is one of the most historically significant landmarks of Coorg. Originally built in mud by Mudduraja in the 17th century and later rebuilt in stone by Tipu Sultan, the fort has changed hands multiple times over the centuries before eventually coming under British control. The fort today houses a museum, a church (originally built as a palace by the Haleri kings), a jail, and several government offices. The museum within the fort contains a collection of royal artefacts, arms, and historical photographs that provide deep insight into Kodagu's rich past. The fort's architecture is a fascinating blend of Kodava, Tipu-era Islamic, and British colonial styles. Entry is free, and the fort can be explored comfortably in about an hour.
Chelavara Falls
Chelavara Falls is a hidden gem in Coorg that remains relatively undiscovered compared to the more popular Abbey Falls and Iruppu Falls. Located near Kakkabe village in the southern part of Kodagu, the waterfall drops about 25 metres over a series of rocky ledges surrounded by thick riparian forest. The trek to the falls passes through coffee and pepper plantations, adding a fragrant, sensory layer to the experience. Unlike busier tourist spots, Chelavara offers a quiet, peaceful atmosphere that is perfect for travellers seeking solitude in nature. The water is crystal clear and cool, ideal for a refreshing dip during summer months. The approach road to Chelavara is narrow and best navigated in a smaller vehicle or on foot. This is an ideal destination for photography enthusiasts and nature lovers who enjoy off-the-beaten-path experiences in the hills.
Coffee Plantation Estate Tour
A coffee plantation tour is not just an activity in Coorg — it is an essential cultural experience that defines the region. Kodagu produces about 30% of India's total coffee output, and the district is blanketed with sprawling Arabica and Robusta estates interspersed with silver oak, orange groves, pepper vines, and cardamom shrubs. Many homestays and resorts in Coorg offer guided plantation walks where guests learn about the coffee-growing process — from seed to cup — including planting, harvesting, pulping, drying, and roasting. Walking through the estates in the early morning mist, with the smell of coffee blossoms in the air and bird calls echoing through the canopy, is an unforgettable sensory experience. Several estates also offer freshly brewed Coorg coffee that bears no resemblance to what you get in a city cafe. Do not leave Coorg without at least one plantation visit.

Pickup at arrivals
Send the flight number when you book. We follow the flight; a delay costs you nothing, and a rebooked flight just shifts the pickup to the new landing. Kerbside time at arrivals is short for private vehicles, so the car waits in the parking area while the driver stands at the exit holding your name. Terminal 1 is domestic only, so tell us the terminal too. Cancellation follows our one 72 hour policy.
Round the city
The cab comes down the airport road, pays the Sadahalli toll, and at Hebbal turns onto the ring road for the NICE Road round the south west of the city. Hebbal is known for its knot of flyovers by the lake, and the two newer flyover loops have cut peak hour jams there by about a quarter. Morning queues have shifted towards Mekhri Circle instead, which we avoid. From mid November to mid February, early morning fog near the airport can slow this first stretch.
Breakfast or lunch
The first meal stop is Maddur, roughly 120 km after the terminal, reached by the expressway exit. The service road hotels do idli, dosa or a full meal depending on when you landed, and the crisp Maddur vada travels well for later. Temple lovers can see the Varadaraja shrine in town, whose deity, around 12 ft high, is sculpted on both faces. Thirty minutes covers the meal and the restrooms. After this, the expressway runs on past Srirangapatna to the Mysore ring road.
Palace garden
Srirangapatna comes at about 165 km, and the expressway runs right past this island town in the Kaveri. About a kilometre off the road, Tipu Sultan's wooden summer palace, Daria Daulat Bagh, stands in a lawn, its walls covered in murals. It opens about 9 am and shuts by 5 pm, so it suits a morning landing, not a late one. A family of four sees it in 45 minutes. Otherwise the cab carries on round Mysore on the ring road towards Hunsur.
Tea halt
Past the Mysore ring road the cab reaches Hunsur, about 225 km from the airport, on the Lakshmana Tirtha river. Ten minutes for tea at one of the cheap town hotels breaks the long drive. With a car, the Rabgayling Tibetan settlement at Gurupura, set up in 1971 with three monasteries, is a 12 km side trip that very few visitors see, a good choice if you want something quiet. Kushalnagar is about 40 km on, and after it the road starts to climb.
Lunch and dam
Kushalnagar is about 265 km from the airport, with the Kaveri around it on three sides. Lunch here if you landed in the morning; hotels serve Kerala style fish meals and vegetarian food. With a car, the Harangi reservoir near Hudgur, a short drive from town, fits into a spare afternoon and looks best after the rains. Shops on the main road sell coffee, spices and home made chocolates. The highway through town is under widening, so expect slow traffic.
Homestay drop
Madikeri is about 295 km from the airport. Send the homestay location pin before you fly, and the cab drives right to the gate, even on narrow estate lanes. Dinner at a Kodava stay is often pandi curry, pork soured with kachampuli, eaten with kadambuttu or akki otti. Madikeri gets about 3,200 mm of rain a year, mostly from June to August, so pack an umbrella in those months. The driver stays near you, ready for sightseeing next morning or the drive back to the airport.
Flying into Bangalore for a Coorg holiday? Below are the Bangalore Airport to Coorg Cab fares for each car, plus the road and the halts. You do not need to go into the city at all. The cab picks you up at KIA arrivals, goes round Bangalore on the NICE Road, then past Mysore to Madikeri in about five and a half hours. Book cab rental in Bangalore with Tejas Tours & Travels for a sedan or an Innova.
Route | One way | Coorg and back | Time by cab |
|---|---|---|---|
Bangalore Airport to Coorg via Hebbal, Hunsur and Kushalnagar | About 295 km | About 590 km | About 5.5 hr with stops |
Madikeri is about 295 km from the airport, so KIA to Coorg and back comes to about 590 km. That is billed as two days, 600 km, at the car's per km rate.

Car rates per km include fuel, driver and AC, and a daily allowance for the driver goes on the bill.
Vehicle | Round trip rate | Coorg and back, 2 days (600 km) | Driver allowance | Allowance for 2 days |
|---|---|---|---|---|
₹12/km | ₹7,200 | ₹350/day | ₹700 | |

Two to four people with a bag each: Dzire or Toyota Etios. Five to seven, or four with a week of luggage: Innova or Innova Crysta. The Crysta is easier on the ghat after a long flight.
Spending a night in Bangalore first? See cab rental in KIA Airport, the Toyota Innova Crysta on rent in KIA Airport or our airport taxi and cab service in Bangalore. Starting from home in the city? Book the Bangalore to Coorg cab. Eight or more landing together? The Bangalore Airport to Coorg tempo traveller costs less than two cars.
Cancellation: no charge more than 72 hours before pickup; see the cancellation policy for the rest.

We (15 families) hired a bus from Tejas to one of the resort at Kanakpura. Interacted with Lakshmi madam and requested her to provide a good Cab . The bus reached at exact time for pickup, the bus was extremely good and looked a new one only. Thanks Tejas team and Lakshmi madam, it was a wonderful experience and I would definitely recommend to avail their services.

Madikeri, the main town of Coorg, is about 295 km from Bangalore Airport. The cab goes by Hebbal, the NICE Road, the Mysore expressway, Hunsur and Kushalnagar, without crossing the city centre, so the round trip is about 590 km. A cab takes about 5.5 hours with a meal at Maddur and a short tea halt.
Two days, 600 km: Dzire ₹7,200, Etios ₹8,400, Innova ₹10,800, Innova Crysta ₹12,000. Add driver allowance, tolls, parking and GST.
Nothing changes for you. The driver waits at KIA with no waiting charge. Moved to a later flight? Message us the new one and the pickup moves with it. Cancellations go by our cancellation policy.
We can, but we suggest a night in Bangalore or Mysore. The road after Hunsur is two lane, and homestay roads in Coorg are hard to find in the dark.
Keep the same car for the return. The drive takes about five and a half hours, so leave about eight hours before a domestic flight and nine before an international one.
An Innova or Innova Crysta. A sedan boot takes two big bags. All cars are on cab rental in Bangalore.
June to August. Madikeri gets most of its yearly rain then, and the last climb through estates can be foggy and slow. From mid November to mid February the trouble is at the other end: early morning fog at the airport delays flights between about 3 and 8:30 am. If you land on such a morning, we track the flight and simply start later.
Yes, with breaks. Use the airport restrooms before you leave, since the first meal halt is about two hours away at Maddur. In the cab, elders sit in front where the ride is smoothest, and children who feel sick on bends get a window. Above Kushalnagar the road winds, so the driver keeps it slow on the last stretch to Madikeri.
