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.

Guests at arrivals
Send the guest list with each flight number, and say which terminal: Terminal 2 handles all international flights and the domestic flights of Air India and Air India Express. A delayed flight means the Urbania waits, free of charge, and if a guest changes flights the pickup moves to the new time. Our van parks in the commercial zone, since vehicles may not stand within 100 m of the arrival gate, and the driver meets guests at the exit. Cancellation follows our one 72 hour policy.
Hebbal
Hebbal is about 25 km from the airport, where the Outer Ring Road meets the airport road under a maze of flyovers. The Urbania turns here for the ring road and then the NICE Road, which takes it round the south west of the city to the Mysore expressway without the city signals. Weekday peaks add time at Hebbal even after the new loops, so a midday arrival moves fastest. Guests can recline and rest; the first halt, at Maddur, is about two hours away.
Breakfast
Maddur, about 120 km out on the Shimsha river, is the first halt. The Urbania parks at the door of a service road hotel, which spares elders a walk, and breakfast is idli, dosa and the flat Maddur vada. About a kilometre into town stands a Hoysala period Narasimha temple with a 7 ft Ugra Narasimha in black stone, a calm 20 minute darshan for those who want it. Keep 25 minutes for the meal and the restrooms, then back on the expressway.
Temple town
Srirangapatna, about 165 km from the airport, takes its name from the Ranganathaswamy temple, where Vishnu reclines on the serpent Adisesha; its oldest inscription dates from 894 CE. The temple is about a kilometre from the expressway, and the Urbania can wait near it while guests go in. Modest dress, and shoes stay outside. Allow 45 minutes. For an offsite group on a tight schedule, the van stays on the road and goes round Mysore on the ring road for Hunsur.
Quiet stretch
Hunsur, about 225 km out, is a timber town known for teak, and the tobacco grown around it is auctioned at the board platform at Kattemalalavadi, about 5 km away; the barns you see in the fields are for curing it. The road is two lane and calm here, and most Urbania groups drive through with a quick fuel stop if needed, keeping the time for lunch. Kushalnagar is about 40 km ahead, and Periyapatna comes in between.
Lunch
Kushalnagar is about 265 km from the airport and the lunch stop. Hotels serve vegetarian thalis and Kerala style fish curry. For guests with an extra hour, the hanging bridge over the Kaveri at Kanive village, about 9 km north, is a quiet walk. Shops on the main road sell coffee, honey, Ayurvedic oils and spices, handy for gifts on the return. Traffic is slow through town while the highway is widened, so the driver parks off the main road. About 45 minutes.
Resort or stay
Madikeri is about 295 km from the airport. Most resorts around the town have a drive the Urbania can use; for homestays on steep estate lanes, share the location pin and we check the last stretch. The coffee here is Coorg Arabica, GI tagged since 2019, a good gift for guests to carry home. Town shops also sell Kodava jewellery such as the kokkethathi pendant. For event days the driver stays near the resort, and the van does local runs from there.
Guests flying in for a resort offsite or a family function in Coorg? Below is how we run a Bangalore Airport to Coorg Force Urbania booking, from pickup to the places you see. The Force Urbania meets them at KIA and carries 8 to 16 people in reclining seats, which matters on a six hour drive after a flight. Tejas Tours & Travels arranges Force Urbania on rent in Bangalore with a driver, at a single per km rate.

A drop without the return is ₹2 more per km. GST, tolls and parking are shown on separate lines in the quote. The km rate includes fuel, driver and air conditioning; the daily driver allowance is billed separately.

Bangalore to Pondicherry
We recently completed our Pondicherry trip with Tejas Tours and Travel Company, and overall we had a very good experience. Shashikala coordinated with us from enquiry to booking and throughout the trip. She was well-communicated, supportive, and checked in with us daily to ensure everything was fine.

5/5
Madikeri, the main town of Coorg, is about 295 km from Bangalore Airport by Hebbal, the NICE Road, the Mysore expressway, Hunsur and Kushalnagar. The round trip is about 590 km. An Urbania takes about 6 hours with a breakfast halt at Maddur and lunch at Kushalnagar. Resorts outside Madikeri add some km.
₹24,000 for the trip: 600 km over two days at ₹40/km, in any size of Urbania. On top come ₹700 a day for the driver, tolls, parking and GST.
The driver waits, free of charge, for the late flight. If a guest changes flights, send us the new one and we move the pickup. Cancellations follow our cancellation policy.
Yes. Each extra day is billed with a 300 km minimum and the daily allowance. The driver stays near the resort.
The 16 seater. Every size is listed on Force Urbania on rent in Bangalore.
Leave the resort about eight and a half hours before a domestic flight. The drive is around six hours.
It can. Madikeri gets most of its rain from June to August, and in heavy spells the district has restricted heavy vehicles on ghat roads, though an Urbania is rarely affected. Leeches come out on wet grass at falls and estates. For a monsoon offsite, keep transfers in daylight and choose a resort on a main road, so the van reaches the door in rain.
Yes. The Urbania is a high roof van, so elders can stand to move to a seat, and it rides quietly on the expressway. Seat them in the front rows, which bounce least on the Kodagu bends. We stop for breakfast at Maddur and lunch at Kushalnagar, and the driver will halt for restrooms whenever asked. Carry their medicines in the cabin, not in the rear.
