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
In the middle of town, the fort was built in mud by Mudduraja in the late seventeenth century, rebuilt in granite by Tipu Sultan and modified again under the British, which is a fair summary of Kodagu history in one building. It holds a small museum and a church. Ten minutes away, the Omkareshwara temple of 1820 combines Islamic-style domes with a Shaivite plan, beside a tank of large, entirely unbothered fish.
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.

Whole group at arrivals
Give us the flight number, and the van is booked to your actual landing time; a late flight costs nothing in waiting, and a changed flight just moves the pickup. Commercial vehicles that are not airport taxis wait in the P3 and P4 zones, so the driver walks to the arrival gate to meet the family and brings everyone to the van. People have complained of long walks to those zones with luggage, so he helps with the trolleys. Cancellation is under our single 72 hour policy.
Ring road
From the terminals the van takes the airport road south and turns at Hebbal, about 25 km out, for the ring road and the NICE Road, so it never enters the city centre. Hebbal Lake lies right beside the flyovers, the old northern edge of the city. Road works on Ballari Road can slow airport traffic at peak hours, so the drive is timed outside the rush. With small children, use the airport restrooms before you leave; the first meal is about two hours away.
Breakfast and birds
Maddur, about 120 km out, is the first proper halt. The van takes the exit to the service road hotels, and a family of twelve gets one long table for idli, dosa and the local vada. Children who like birds can see painted storks and pelicans nesting in village trees at Kokkarebellur, 12 km off the highway near Maddur. The birds arrive in September, nest from October and feed their chicks until about March. That detour adds about an hour; otherwise thirty minutes here.
River birds
Srirangapatna, about 165 km from the airport, sits on an island in the Kaveri. The expressway passes close to it, and Ranganathittu bird sanctuary is only 3 to 4 km off. The boat ride goes round six small islets where water birds nest and mugger crocodiles lie on the rocks, which children remember. Entry and boat tickets are separate. Boating stops when the river floods. On a tight arrival day the van keeps going round Mysore by the ring road, and the sanctuary waits for the return.
Optional break
Hunsur is about 225 km out, on the Lakshmana Tirtha river, and the road narrows to two lanes from here. A ten minute halt helps anyone stiff from the flight and the drive. If the group has an hour and wants a view, Gommatagiri, a small Jain hill with a Bahubali statue, is just off the Mysore to Hunsur road near Bilikere, 20 to 25 km before the town. Most families skip it on arrival day. Kushalnagar is about 40 km ahead.
Lunch and deer park
Kushalnagar, about 265 km out, is the lunch stop. Many hotels here have room for a van group of 12 to 17. After lunch, Cauvery Nisargadhama is about 3 km away on the Madikeri road: a river island of bamboo and teak, with a hanging bridge and a small deer park that keeps children busy for an hour. Buy all tickets at the gate, since nothing is sold inside. Coffee and spice shops line the main road. Allow an hour, more with the island.
Homestay drop
Madikeri is about 295 km from the airport and sits at about 1,170 m, so the last climb is through coffee estates with bends; children prone to motion sickness should sit up front. Send the homestay pin; the van reaches most gates, and for the narrowest tracks the homestay jeep comes to the main road. Ask the stay for kadambuttu, soft steamed rice balls, which children usually like, with a mild curry. The driver stays nearby for the next day's outings.
Flying in with family or friends for a Coorg weekend, 9 to 20 of you? The Bangalore Airport to Coorg Tempo Traveller details follow: the road, family halts and rates per size. A tempo traveller collects the whole group and the bags at KIA and drives straight to the homestay, no taxi queue and no city traffic. Book a tempo traveller on rent in Bangalore with Tejas Tours & Travels, and the same van stays with you in Coorg.
Route | One way | Coorg and back | Time by tempo traveller |
|---|---|---|---|
Bangalore Airport to Coorg via Hebbal, Hunsur and Kushalnagar | About 295 km | About 590 km | About 6 hr with stops |
The van comes from the airport to Coorg and goes back, about 590 km, so it is billed as two days and 600 km. Stay longer and each extra day has a 300 km minimum, which covers the falls, Dubare and Bylakuppe. Only a drop? ₹2 more per km. Tolls, parking and GST are paid as they come, at actual. Fuel and driver sit inside the tempo traveller rate, and the driver gets a daily allowance on the bill. Both AC and non-AC tempo travellers can be booked; whichever you take sets the rate.

Bangalore to Shirdi
I had an excellent experience with Teja Travel. The vehicle was clean, comfortable, and very well maintained. The driver was polite, punctual, and knew the routes perfectly, which made our trip smooth and enjoyable. Their service was professional from start to finish, and the pricing was also very reasonable. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable travel vehicle services. 👍

Madikeri, the main town of Coorg, is about 295 km from Bangalore Airport, by Hebbal, the NICE Road, the Mysore expressway, Hunsur and Kushalnagar, so the round trip is about 590 km. A tempo traveller takes about 6 hours, counting breakfast at Maddur and lunch at Kushalnagar. Homestays outside Madikeri can add a few km.
Two days, 600 km at ₹24/km is ₹14,400. Add ₹500 a day driver allowance, tolls, parking and GST.
No. The driver waits for the flight and there is no waiting charge. Flight moved to the next day? Tell us and we reschedule the pickup. Cancellation rules are on our cancellation policy page.
It reaches most homestays near Madikeri and Kushalnagar. For a narrow estate track, the homestay often sends its own jeep for the last stretch.
The 16 seater. Everyone sits and the bags fit at the back. All sizes are on tempo traveller on rent in Bangalore.
The same van brings you back. Start about eight and a half hours before a domestic flight; the drive takes six hours and the city end can be slow.
October to March is the easy time: the roads are dry and the estates are green after the rains. Coffee blossoms come with the first summer showers around March. June to August is the heavy monsoon, when fog and wet roads slow the last climb. Winter fog at the airport between about 3 and 8:30 am sometimes delays morning flights, so pick a later landing if you can.
We would not push a tired family through six hours at night. The highway as far as Mysore is easy after dark, but inside Kodagu the roads have unmarked speed breakers, lorries and wildlife. Better to stay the night in Mysore or near Kushalnagar and finish the estate roads in daylight. The halt night is billed with the normal driver allowance.
