Leave Mysore at 7 AM to see the elephants bathed in the river, then the golden temple at Bylakuppe on the way up to Madikeri.
Sunset over the Coorg valleys from the garden at the edge of Madikeri. Most couples stay at a homestay or resort a little outside town.
The road to the top is a jeep track, so our driver takes you to the jeep point and waits there. On a clear morning you are above the clouds.
The falls in late morning, then a slow afternoon: a walk through a coffee estate, or Talacauvery if you want a temple visit.
Leave Coorg after breakfast for Ooty, about 250 km and 6 to 7 hours through Hunsur and Gundlupet, then Bandipur and Mudumalai forest. Elephants are often seen from the road. The forest road closes at 9 PM, so we reach Ooty by evening.
Take the Nilgiri toy train from Ooty to Coonoor if you have tickets. The car meets you at Coonoor station and goes on to Dolphin's Nose and the view of Catherine Falls.
Back in Ooty for an afternoon in the gardens, and a quiet evening by the lake.
Leave Ooty at 7 AM. The road goes down to Mettupalayam, on through Pollachi and Palani, and up the Palani ghat, about 260 km and 7 to 8 hours. In the evening, hire a cycle or a boat on the lake.
An early walk along the edge of the hill, before the mist rises from the valley. Check out by 10 AM.
Down the Batlagundu ghat and back through Dindigul, Salem and Krishnagiri, about 470 km. You reach Bangalore around 9 PM.
