Abbey Falls
The main reason for the trip. Abbey Falls, known locally as Abbi, a Kodava word for waterfall, drops roughly seventy feet over rock into a pool surrounded by private coffee estates. It was once called Jessy Falls after the daughter of an early British officer in Madikeri. A paved path with steps leads down through pepper vines and coffee bushes to a viewing platform facing the water. In the monsoon the spray reaches the platform and the roar carries up the valley, which is the experience people come for. Swimming is not permitted, and the steps can be slippery in the rain, so comfortable footwear matters. Check abbey falls coorg timings with your driver before you plan the day, as the site generally opens only in daylight hours.

Raja's Seat
A garden viewpoint on the edge of Madikeri where the Kodava kings are said to have watched the sunset. On a clear evening the valley below fills with layers of hills and drifting mist, and the sunset view is the best in town. The musical fountain and small toy train make it popular with families.
Madikeri Fort
A stone fort in the heart of town, rebuilt in the late eighteenth century during Tipu Sultan's control and later used by the British. Inside sit a small museum, an old church and two life-size stone elephants. It is a short, informative stop that gives context to the region's history.
Omkareshwara Temple
Built in 1820, this Shiva temple blends Islamic-style domes and minarets with Kerala-style temple planning, set beside a tank filled with fish. It is a quiet, unusual structure and a good early-morning halt before heading to the falls.
Talakaveri and Bhagamandala
Around forty-five kilometres from Madikeri, Talakaveri is the source of the river Kaveri, high on the Brahmagiri hills, with sweeping views on a clear day. Bhagamandala, on the way, is the confluence of the Kaveri, Kannike and the mythical Sujyoti, with a Kerala-style temple complex. Together they make a meaningful half-day trip.
Dubare Elephant Camp
On the banks of the Kaveri near Kushalnagar, Dubare lets visitors watch elephants being bathed and fed by their handlers in the morning. A river crossing is part of the experience. Arriving by nine in the morning gives the best chance of seeing the bathing session.
Namdroling Monastery (Golden Temple)
The largest teaching centre of the Nyingma school of Tibetan Buddhism in the world, located at Bylakuppe. The main hall holds three giant gilded statues, and the painted interiors are striking. It lies directly on the route, which makes it an easy stop on the way in or out.
Kaveri Nisargadhama
A bamboo-covered river island near Kushalnagar reached by a hanging bridge. Tree-top walkways, deer enclosures and shaded river banks make it a relaxed family stop, especially after a long drive.

Departure Point
Your journey to Ooty begins from Bangalore, the gateway to South India's most beloved hill stations. Pick-up is available from any part of the city — Koramangala, Electronic City, Whitefield, Hebbal, Yeshwanthpur, Marathahalli, or Majestic. The most common route out of Bangalore takes you onto NH275, the six-lane Mysore Expressway, which is one of the smoothest and best-maintained national highways in Karnataka. An early departure between 5 AM and 6 AM is strongly advised to clear Bangalore city limits before peak traffic begins. The first 50 km on the expressway are fast, comfortable, and lightly trafficked in the early hours, setting a pleasant tone for the journey ahead. Our drivers are experienced in choosing the optimal departure window and route based on real-time traffic conditions, ensuring that the first stretch of your Bangalore to Ooty road trip is efficient, calm, and enjoyable from the very first kilometre.
Home of Thatte Idli
The trip begins on Mysore Road and quickly joins the Bangalore-Mysore Expressway, which has cut hours off this journey. Bidadi, an industrial belt with large automobile plants, is best known to travellers for its thatte idli, flat plate-sized idlis steamed on cloth and served with butter and chutney. If you leave early and skip breakfast at home, this is an easy place to eat.
Toy Town of Karnataka
Channapatna has made lacquered wooden toys for generations, using soft ivory wood and natural colours. The craft carries a geographical indication tag, and small workshops along the old road sell tops, rattles and dolls. The Expressway bypasses the town, so ask your driver to take the service road exit if you want to shop.
Sugar City of Karnataka
Mandya sits in one of the most irrigated districts of the state, fed by the Krishna Raja Sagar reservoir, and green sugarcane fields stretch on both sides of the road. Jaggery units are visible close to the highway during crushing season.
Island Fortress of Tipu Sultan
Srirangapatna is an island town in the Kaveri and was the capital of Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan. The Sri Ranganathaswamy Temple, Daria Daulat Bagh summer palace, Tipu's Gumbaz and the ruined fort walls are all within a few kilometres. If you have an extra hour, it is one of the most rewarding history stops on the route.
Little Tibet of South India
Bylakuppe is home to one of the largest Tibetan settlements outside Tibet, with monasteries, prayer flags and momo cafes. The Namdroling Golden Temple is a short detour and well worth an hour. A few kilometres on, Kushalnagar is the commercial town at the edge of Coorg and the base for Dubare and Kaveri Nisargadhama.
Scotland of India
This is where the drive changes character. Coffee estates shaded by silver oak line the road, pepper vines climb every trunk, and the air cools noticeably. Suntikoppa is a small plantation town, and the road climbs gently through curves to Madikeri, the district headquarters, set on a ridge at over a thousand metres.
Crown Jewel of Coorg Waterfalls
The final stretch is a narrow, winding estate road that descends through thick plantation cover to the parking area. From there it is a short walk down steps to the viewing platform. Your driver will wait at the parking area, and the whole visit usually takes forty-five minutes to an hour. Elapsed time from Bangalore: around six to six and a half hours.
For Bangalore IT teams planning a Coorg offsite with resort stays, plantation walks and a sunrise at Mandalpatti. The package includes GST invoicing, a Proforma Invoice for PO-based approval and pickups from multiple offices. Our corporate travels bangalore desk manages the full arrangement, and the same corporate tempo traveller hire bangalore vehicle stays with the team throughout.
Ideal for two or three families travelling together. The itinerary covers Abbey Falls, Raja's Seat, the Golden Temple and Dubare, with an easy pace, plenty of luggage space and comfortable captain seats for elderly members.
The classic Bangalore weekend: leave on Friday night or Saturday morning, cover Abbey Falls, Mandalpatti and Raja's Seat, and return on Sunday evening. The shared music, LED lighting and standing headroom make the tempo traveller part of the fun.
For groups where cost per head matters most. Our 12 and 13 seater tempo travellers start from Rs 22 per km, the most economical way to take a full group to Coorg, with a clean vehicle and verified driver. Budget refers only to vehicle specification, never to maintenance or driver standards.
Luxury 9 to 13 seater tempo travellers offer high-back recliners, individual reading lights, blackout curtains and premium audio, ideal for leadership offsites and special family occasions.

The abbey falls distance from bangalore is approximately 273 kilometres via the Bangalore–Mysore Expressway, Hunsur, Kushalnagar and Madikeri. The drive takes 5 hours 30 minutes to 6 hours 30 minutes including a breakfast halt. Abbey Falls is about 8 kilometres from Madikeri town.
Our 12 and 13 seater AC tempo travellers start from Rs 22 per km, with other sizes and luxury variants priced higher. The quoted fare includes base fare, fuel and driver allowance, while toll, parking, driver bata after 9:45 PM and GST are extra. Final rental is based on total kilometres and hours from our garage to garage, and every charge appears in the written quote you receive within 2 hours.
For 8 to 10 people, an 8, 9 or 10 seater executive tempo traveller with individual captain seats is very comfortable. For 11 to 13, the 12 or 13 seater is our most popular and economical choice. For 14 to 18, the 14 to 18 seater models give everyone a seat with luggage space. For more than 18, we recommend a mini bus.
Yes. Tempo travellers can drive to the parking area near the entrance to Abbey Falls, although the last stretch is a narrow estate road. From the parking area, visitors walk down steps through the plantation to the falls and the hanging bridge.
The falls are generally open during daylight hours, with an entry ticket collected at the gate. The abbey falls timings, fees and access rules are set by the local authorities and can change, especially in heavy monsoon rain. Swimming or entering the water is not permitted.
July to October is the best time to see the falls in full flow after the monsoon. October to March offers pleasant weather for sightseeing across Coorg, though the falls are gentler. During very heavy rain, access may be restricted for safety.
No. The entire route from Bangalore to Madikeri and Abbey Falls lies within Karnataka, so no interstate permit is needed. If you extend the trip to Wayanad or Ooty, the relevant Kerala or Tamil Nadu permit will be added to the quote.
A 20 percent advance of the total fare confirms your booking. Payment can be made by UPI, bank transfer or card, and a receipt is issued within 30 minutes. The balance is settled at trip end after deducting the advance.
Cancelling more than 72 hours before departure carries no charge and the full advance is refunded within 5 to 7 working days. Between 48 and 72 hours the charge is 10 percent, between 24 and 48 hours 25 percent, between 12 and 24 hours 50 percent, and less than 12 hours 75 percent of the total fare. A no-show is charged the full fare.
Tejas Tours and Travels does not provide passenger insurance cover; passengers should arrange their own travel insurance if needed. All vehicles carry valid insurance and full statutory compliance, and every driver is police-verified. To book, call or WhatsApp +91 9980277773 or email info@tejastravels.com with your travel dates, pickup location, group size and preferred tempo traveller. A written quote follows within 2 hours.
