Overview

About this package

Six unhurried days built around a long-weekend bridge (Independence Day or Dussehra) in Coorg and Chikmagalur. Walk through coffee estates dripping with monsoon mist, chase waterfalls, and sit by a bonfire with filter coffee while the rest of the country is still stuck in traffic on the return drive.
