Coorg
Take a self-guided or guided walk through the mixed spice and coffee plantations of Coorg — identifying cardamom, black pepper, cinnamon, clove, vanilla, and cocoa growing alongside coffee under the forest canopy. The biodiversity of a Coorg plantation — with birds, butterflies, frogs, and small mammals — is extraordinary.
Staying at a coffee-estate homestay in Madikeri, Virajpet, or Kushalnagar areas gives you free access to walk through the plantation at any time — the best way to experience Coorg's agricultural heart.
