9 Fun Things to Do in Coorg Kodagu Scotland of India.

1. Stay in a Home-Stay
The charm, the aura and the surroundings of a home-stay are really very special. Coorg has plenty of options for home-stays. We stayed at Eco Habitat in Kushalnagar which is slightly off Coorg but a fantastic property and well connection

2. Visit the Dubare Elephant Camp
Dubare Elephant Camp near Kushalnagar is a good place to enjoy the good old elephant rides, elephant bathing and more. Across the river, you can also enjoy water rafting.

4. Visit the Golden Temple, Coorg
Located at about 30 minutes from the Eco Habitat, Bylakuppe is a Tibetan Refugee settlement, the magnificent Monastery in Kodagu state. You would see Tibetan refugee monks, their families and the golden statues of Buddha and other gods across the Namdroling Monastery.

5. Don’t Miss out on Abbey Falls, Madikeri

6. Go for the Jungle Trek in the Western Ghats
With lush green jungles & waterfalls all around, Coorg is a heaven for those who love trekking. We trekked right after the monsoons and there were leeches who greeted us, but the breathtaking views and the scenic waterfalls didn’t dampen our spirit.

7. Adore the Mountain View at Raja’s Seat, Madikeri
Raja’s Seat (Seat of the King) is a seasonal garden of flowers and artificial fountains and was a favourite of the king during ancient times. It is a popular tourist spot in Coorg and you would see large groups of youngsters out here at any time during the day. The garden offers breath-taking views of low rise mountains and you can spend hours here adoring the sunset.
