Coorg Chikmagalur Tour from Bangalore – 5 Days
This Coorg Chikmagalur tour from Bangalore for 5 days takes you by private cab through Karnataka’s two coffee regions, with two nights in each. In Coorg you see Bylakuppe, Raja’s Seat, Talakaveri, Abbey Falls and the Dubare elephants; in Chikmagalur you go up Mullayanagiri, the highest peak in Karnataka, and you visit the Hoysala temples of Belur and Halebidu on the way home.
Coorg and Chikmagalur both look green and misty, but they feel different: Coorg is waterfalls, rivers and the Kodava hills, while Chikmagalur is high peaks, wide views and temple country. We have planned this route since 2013, with Coorg first and the temples on the last day, so you never drive the same road twice. Comparing options?

5-Day Coorg Chikmagalur Tour Itinerary from Bangalore
Pickup is at 6 AM from Bangalore, and you are back in Bangalore by about 9 PM on Day 5. You spend two nights in Coorg and two in Chikmagalur, so you unpack only twice.
Your driver picks you up at 6 AM from your home, hotel, the airport, a railway station or bus stand in Bangalore, and you head towards Coorg.
Your first stop is Bylakuppe, one of the largest Tibetan settlements in India. At The Tibetan Golden Temple / Namdroling Monastery, giant gilded Buddha statues fill a richly painted prayer hall.
Continue into the hills for a coffee estate visit, where coffee and pepper grow side by side under tall shade trees.
End the day at Raja’s Seat in Madikeri, where the Kodava kings once watched the sun set over layer after layer of hills. Overnight in Coorg.
After breakfast, drive through forest and coffee country to Bhagamandala. Visit the Kerala-style Bhagandeshwara Temple and Triveni Sangama, where the Kaveri meets the Kannike river.
Climb on to Talakaveri in the Brahmagiri hills, the source of the Cauvery, with wide views across the Western Ghats on a clear day.
Back near Madikeri, walk down through coffee and pepper plantations to Abbey Falls, then visit Omkareshwara Temple. End with time in the Madikeri market for Coorg coffee, spices and homemade chocolates. Overnight in Coorg.
Check out after an early breakfast and drive to Dubare Elephant Camp on the banks of the Cauvery. Cross the river by boat and see the camp elephants with their mahouts during the morning session.
Next, cross the hanging bridge into Kaveri Nisargadhama, a river island of bamboo groves and shaded paths.
After lunch, drive on to Chikmagalur through farmland and the edge of the hills. Check in, then end the day at Hirekolale Lake, where the sun sets behind the Mullayanagiri range. Overnight in Chikmagalur.
After an early breakfast, drive up through coffee estates and shola forest to Seethalayanagiri, then on to Mullayanagiri, at 1,930 metres the highest peak in Karnataka. A short climb of steps from the road brings you to the small temple at the top, with views across the Western Ghats.
Follow the ridge to Baba Budangiri, the hills where coffee was first planted in India, and visit the Datta Peeta shrine.
From the road below, a short local jeep ride through the estates takes you to Jhari Falls, also called Buttermilk Falls. On the way back, stop at Honnamana Halla Falls by the roadside.
Stop at a coffee estate to buy fresh Chikmagalur coffee, and visit the old Kodandarama Temple in Hiremagalur before returning to the hotel. Overnight in Chikmagalur.
Check out after breakfast and drive to Belur, stopping by the water at Yagachi Dam.
The Chennakeshava Temple at Belur, built by the Hoysala kings in the 12th century, is famous for its lathe-turned pillars and the graceful dancing figures carved around its walls.
A short drive on brings you to Halebidu, the old Hoysala capital. The Hoysaleswara Temple has friezes of elephants, lions and scenes from the epics running around its outer walls.
Then drive home via Hassan, reaching Bangalore by about 9 PM, with drop at your home, hotel, the airport, a railway station or bus stand.
Good to Know Before Your Coorg and Chikmagalur Trip
- Steps and walks: Abbey Falls has steps down to the viewpoint, and Mullayanagiri has a climb of steps to the top. Those who prefer can enjoy the views from above or from the road.
- Jhari Falls: the jeep track through the estates is bumpy, and the jeep is paid directly at the starting point.
- Temples: footwear is left outside at Talakaveri, Belur and Halebidu, and the stone floors get hot by noon, so socks help.
- Waterfalls: Abbey, Jhari and Honnamana Halla are fullest from July to December and much thinner in April and May.
