Itinerary
Tentative trip schedule
Leave Bangalore at 6 AM. The road goes through Nelamangala, Channarayapatna and Hassan, about 230 km and 4.5 hours to Sakleshpur. The star-shaped fort is on a hilltop by the highway a few kilometres before town. A short climb takes you to the walls, with hills on every side.
Bangalore to Sakleshpur | About 230 km, 4.5 hours |
Sakleshpur to Madikeri | About 100 km via Somwarpet |
Total drive | About 600 km over 2 days |
Best time | September to February |
After lunch in Sakleshpur, drive towards the Bisle ghat. On a clear afternoon you see layers of the Western Ghats from the viewpoint. The last stretch is narrow, and in heavy rain we stop short of it.
Most groups stay in a homestay on a coffee or cardamom estate around Sakleshpur. Estate roads can be steep at the end, so the homestay jeep sometimes takes the bags the last few hundred metres.
Leave at 7:30 AM through Somwarpet to Madikeri, about 100 km. Abbey Falls is 8 km past the town, a short walk down through the estate.
In the middle of Madikeri town, with the two stone elephants at the gate. Keep about 45 minutes.
A garden at the edge of the town with a wide view of the Coorg hills. Have lunch in Madikeri before the drive back.
Back through Kushalnagar and Mysore, about 260 km. You reach Bangalore around 8 to 9 PM.
