Places to Visit in Coorg

Abbey Falls

Abbey Falls

Eight kilometres from Madikeri through coffee and cardamom estates, Abbey Falls drops about seventy feet into a rock pool with a hanging bridge facing it head-on. From September to December the volume is genuinely loud; in peak summer it thins. Swimming is not permitted. The estate road in is narrow, which is where a compact luxury van beats a coach.

Talacauvery

Talacauvery

Talacauvery, at 1,276 metres on Brahmagiri hill, is the origin of the Cauvery, with around 250 steps to a summit viewpoint over successive Western Ghats ranges. Eight kilometres below, Bhagamandala marks the river confluence with its Kerala-style temple complex. The approach is narrow and steep, which the Urbania handles where larger vehicles cannot.

Dubare Elephant Camp

Dubare Elephant Camp

A Forest Department camp on the Cauvery near Kushalnagar. Plan for the morning session, when visitors can watch and, subject to the day's schedule, join in feeding and bathing the elephants. Arrive by 9 am, as the window closes late morning. This is the stop that consistently wins over family groups.

Raja's Seat

Raja's Seat

A terraced garden on the western edge of town where the Kodava kings watched the sunset, still the best free viewpoint in the district. The land falls into layered valleys that fill with mist by evening. Go around 5:15 pm and expect company at weekends. The Urbania parks close to the entrance.

Golden Temple

Golden Temple

The Namdroling Nyingmapa Monastery in Bylakuppe — popularly known as the Golden Temple — is one of the largest Nyingma teaching centres outside Tibet and a visual masterpiece. Established in 1963 by Tibetan refugees who settled in Bylakuppe, the monastery complex is home to towering golden statues of Lord Buddha, Guru Padmasambhava, and Amitayus, surrounded by intricate Tibetan murals and colourful prayer flags. The entire complex has a deeply meditative and awe-inspiring atmosphere that attracts visitors from across the world regardless of religious background. The monastery town of Bylakuppe is also worth exploring for its Tibetan markets selling handmade jewellery, traditional clothing, and delicious momos. Entry is free. The monastery is located about 35 km from Madikeri and is ideally visited on the way to or from Coorg.

Iruppu Falls

Iruppu Falls

Iruppu Falls, also known as Lakshmana Tirtha Falls, is one of the most sacred and scenic waterfalls in Coorg. Located within the Brahmagiri Wildlife Sanctuary near the Kerala border, the falls are fed by the Lakshmana Tirtha River and drop approximately 60 metres into a rocky pool below. The surrounding sanctuary is home to elephants, leopards, gaur, and a variety of bird species, making the trek to the falls an exciting wildlife experience as well. The Rameshwara Temple adjacent to the falls holds immense religious significance and draws large crowds during the Shivaratri festival. A well-marked forest trail leads from the parking area to the falls through dense evergreen forest. The entire experience — from the forest drive to the sight of the cascading water against lush green backdrop — is deeply refreshing and memorable.

Nagarhole National Park

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

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

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

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.

How to Book a Force Urbania in Bangalore

Booking a Force Urbania in Bangalore takes under five minutes. Follow these four steps.

Step 1: Contact Tejas Travels

●        Call or WhatsApp +91 9980277773, or email info@tejastravels.com — available 24 hours.

●        Share your travel date, pickup location, destination or itinerary, group size, and the variant you need: 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15 or 16 seater.

●        For Kempegowda airport pickups, share the flight number — we track live status and adjust pickup timing for delays.

●        For wedding and VIP bookings, mention the occasion so we allocate the best-condition vehicle and arrange formal chauffeur attire.

Step 2: Receive Your Written Quote

●        Within 2 hours of your enquiry we send a written quote by WhatsApp or email.

●        It itemises every charge: hire rate, driver allowance of Rs 600 per day, toll estimates and any interstate permit.

●        No verbal-only pricing — everything is in writing before you confirm.

●        For corporate clients requiring reimbursement, a proforma invoice can be issued at this stage.

●        To compare the 13-seater against the 15-seater, or a tempo traveller against the Urbania, request both quotes together.

Step 3: Confirm Your Booking and Pay Advance

●        Review the written quote and confirm by WhatsApp or phone.

●        A 20 per cent advance of the total fare confirms the booking and guarantees the specific Urbania variant on your date.

●        This matters more than with other vehicles: the fleet is limited, and the 8-seater and 13-seater book out ahead of long weekends, Diwali, New Year and wedding season.

●        Pay by UPI, NEFT, IMPS, RTGS or card via payment link. Advance receipt within 30 minutes.

●        Confirmation includes chauffeur name and mobile, vehicle registration, departure time and the billing breakdown, all in writing.

Step 4: Your Chauffeur and Urbania Arrive Early

●        Your chauffeur reaches the confirmed Bangalore pickup point 15 minutes before scheduled departure.

●        For airport transfers the chauffeur coordinates at the Arrivals gate; for VIP bookings he arrives in formal attire.

●        The Urbania is deep-cleaned, fuelled and ready, and the chauffeur calls 30 minutes before arrival.

●        During the trip the chauffeur handles routing, tolls, traffic navigation and permit checkpoints.

●        At trip end the balance is settled after the advance; extra kilometres or hours are billed at the pre-agreed rate.

Quick booking: WhatsApp +91 9980277773 with your pickup location, group size, destination and date. Written quote in 2 hours.

Payment Methods

We accept all major payment methods for advances and final settlement. Given the limited fleet, the advance secures your specific variant and date.

●        UPI: Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm, BHIM UPI, Amazon Pay. Fastest method, instant confirmation, recommended for advances.

●        Bank transfer: NEFT, IMPS, RTGS. For corporate clients and advances above Rs 10,000. IMPS instant, NEFT up to 2 hours.

●        Credit or debit card: Visa, Mastercard, RuPay via payment link. Valid for advance and full payment.

●        Net banking: All major Indian banks, link sent by WhatsApp or email.

●        Cash: Balance accepted at trip end with receipt. The advance must be digital for booking confirmation.

●        Corporate credit: 30-day terms for registered accounts, with the invoice issued within 24 hours of trip completion.

Fleet note: the Urbania fleet is small compared with standard tempo travellers and books out well in advance during long weekends, Diwali, New Year and wedding season.

Cancellation Policy

A fair, tiered policy, communicated in writing at booking confirmation.

●        More than 72 hours before departure: no charge; 100 per cent of the advance refunded within 5 to 7 working days.

Frequently Asked Questions — Bangalore to Coorg Urbania

Garage to garage with fuel included: One way to Madikeri is around Rs 16,700. Driver allowance is Rs 700 per day, and your exact fare is confirmed in writing before any advance.

Approximately 265 km via NH275 through Mysore, Hunsur and Kushalnagar to Madikeri, taking 5 hours 30 minutes to 6 hours 30 minutes including one breakfast halt. Leaving by 5:30 am puts you in Madikeri around noon, and the Urbania is quicker than a full coach on the final ghat section.

On this route, yes for most groups. The last forty kilometres are continuous hairpins, and the monocoque chassis and parabolic suspension reduce body roll and cabin noise noticeably. Full recliners in every row make the difference over a six-hour drive. For a short local run where budget leads, a tempo traveller at Rs 22 to Rs 34 per km remains sensible.

Book your confirmed group size plus a one-seat buffer for luggage. The 8 to 10 seater uses a 1/1 layout where every passenger has a window seat, suiting executive groups. The 12 to 16 seater uses a 2/1 layout and is the most booked configuration for Coorg trips. Call +91 9980277773 for a recommendation.

Included: base fare, fuel charges and driver allowance. Excluded: toll and parking, inter-state tax, driver bata after 9:45 pm, and GST. The final rental is calculated on total kilometres and hours from our garage back to our garage, and every exclusion is itemised in the written quote.

Twenty per cent of the total fare, by UPI, NEFT, IMPS, RTGS or card, with a receipt within 30 minutes. Because the fleet is limited, the advance locks your specific variant on your date, so book peak dates well ahead.

Yes, and it is the standard arrangement. The vehicle and chauffeur stay with your group across Madikeri, Abbey Falls, Dubare, Bylakuppe and Nisargadhama. Kilometres run within Coorg are added to the total, which is why the fare is garage to garage. Mandalpatti is the one exception, since the final track needs a licensed 4x4 jeep.

In most cases yes, and it is a real advantage over larger vehicles. Many Kodagu properties sit at the end of narrow plantation lanes a coach cannot enter or turn in. Share the property name at booking and we will confirm access in advance.

More than 72 hours ahead: no charge, full advance refunded in 5 to 7 working days. Between 48 and 72 hours the charge is 10 per cent, 24 to 48 hours 25 per cent, 12 to 24 hours 50 per cent, and under 12 hours 75 per cent. Wedding bookings need 7 days notice and multi-day circuits 5 days for a full refund.

No. Tejas Tours and Travels does not cover passengers insurance by the company. Our vehicles carry the statutory commercial vehicle insurance required under Indian motor law, chauffeurs are police verified and PSV licensed, and the fleet is serviced at authorised Force Motors centres. Groups wanting personal accident cover should arrange it separately.
